I had the best sleep. That’s me back on HRT progesterone for a fortnight and it knocked me for six last night.
I woke up with the alarm… so much for taking the dogs out before work, if I woke early…. I did not wake early!
It’s raining this morning too. Boooooo. 9.5°C, so much warmer than yesterday but very cloudy.
Have a look at Coffee & Quotes on FB for a great follow!

Can you believe it’s August already?!? I mean honestly, we didn’t even get a run of sunshine this year. These last 4 days have probably been the hottest and, even then…. Not a summer.
At least I got to wear my shorts to work for one week of the year. I’ve not worn sandals yet. Still in my trainers. Seems crazy keeping all these summer clothes we can’t ever wear. Yeah I know, that’s a ridiculous statement!!

I spotted our lovely roses, as I kicked a ball about, for the dogs, before work.

I just love this one. It’s so pretty.

There was one bud a few weeks ago but the petals fell off in heavy rain. I’m so pleased it flowered again.

I also love our bright hydrangea bush.

Work was good again and passed quickly.

So that’s me at my weekend already! The 4 day week passed very quickly.

I have a few things planned to keep this weekend busy, though nothing tomorrow so will try to keep my noisy head in check.

I’m currently sitting outside in the heat of the sun while poor Craig has broken down on his way to a client. He had a battery light come on last night and he trickle charged the car overnight. It’s just completely died while he was on the phone to me just before 5pm. He’s 5 minutes from the clients house but has to wait for the car to be recovered. While you could say rubbish timing, he managed to to limp it into a side road, so he’s safe, which is definitely the main thing.
I also found out tonight that I’ve become a printed photographer!!!
I sent my neighbour an aurora photo of her house, back on 10th May, when we had the beautiful Aurora. She currently has this one displayed on her wall at the top of the stairs.

She didn’t tell me but called me in to look at it, so it was a surprise!
I am so proud.
It looks lovely and you can even see the stars in the sky.. .
I knew she was awake, as the living room light was on. I thought her house made the shot.
I think the weather is due to break tonight but this has been a really lovely spell. there was a brief aurora last night too.
My head’s had a chance to re balance this week, which has been lovely and much more comfortable, than the noise I had spinning around in it, last week.
Long may that continue.
The recovery truck is on its way to the garage so I’ve to go and get Craig in half an hour. Claire just phoned about a walk…. Such a shame but can’t be helped. Got to rescue the boy!
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
Definitely sandals weather down here. Absolutely sweltering. 27/28 degrees C. Thank goodness for the A/C at night 🥵. Love your Aurora pic, what a nice idea to have it framed in the house Xx

Oh my… the aurora photo is fabulous. I love taking pictures of flowers too, they just make your day.
I can’t believe August is already here. Now it feels like this year too will be ending in no time. Better enjoy life as much as we can.

Exactly. Life is for living and we only get one shot at it. May 11th will have all my aurora photos I think! It was a special night on 10th!

It’s the most magical thing ever and yet at the same time, a part of your brain says… is this it? 😆 I think I caught a once in a lifetime one and you can’t believe you are really seeing it. Hope you get it one day too!
