Good morning.

One can see it's silly O'clock but it's so stiflingly hot I got up after lying awake and will go back to bed and succumb to the dreaded Aircon.

Had a great flight home last night, practically first off the plane, zoomed through arrivals to be met by Don.
Couple of lovely cold beers and home.

I have a haircut at 11am...much needed after 7 weeks ...and the twins are coming over before 1pm.
So looking forward to seeing them.


Think they're might be a few treats in for me.

Have a great day.

Morning Ally, morning everyone

Clouds, mist and sun Once the mist and clouds go, another lovely day.

Morning all stiffling here
No rain

Ria enjoy the rain

Morning all, it’s supposed to be slightly cooler at 23° here today but the humidity is horrendous - 94% according to the weather app. We’ve still not had any rain!

Had a lovely long 90 minute walk with Bill first thing.

Going to have an easier day today, the house is pretty much back to normal as I got loads sorted out yesterday. There’s still the spare room to finish moving around, just need to persuade John that my way is the best way

Have a good day all

Good morning all.
I hope you managed a little more sleep Ally.
After all the salmon leaping excitement of yesterday evening we then had thunder and lightning, a tremendous fireworks display and then heavy rain. All of which I missed as I'd gone to bed early.
Cloudy and grey here today but not cold ,it's rather humid.
I don't know what we're doing today, the world is our lobster.
We may go up the coast to a lovely little tearoom.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everybody.

Dull and muggy. Have been to the bank and for some shopping.
Willbe doing some more ironing. It is shirts I wore on the cruise. Still another load in the washing machine.

Will be going to see friends this afternoon to tell them about the cruise.
Have a good day everybody.

Morning all, it’s a pleasant enough day here although very little sun. So far, my morning has been productive - a call to our landline/broadband provider resulted in a €21 per month reduction on our bill and a new modem is on its way. Now I’m off to do some shopping, Boots and TK Maxx are on the agenda.

Morning all

Heavy, humid, dull and overcast, rain forecast this afternoon.

Enjoy your special day Ally.
Eeek to the ironing Jan.
Well done with the broadband provider Osc, a good saving.

I spent time yesterday sorting travel insurance, some of the quotes were eye watering. It goes up enormously when you reach 70, even more over 75. The lowest quote was £760 In the end we decided to upgrade our current account to includes annual worldwide travel, breakdown and mobile phone cover. Even taking the monthly account charge of £13 plus upgrades for my age, medical conditions etc into account we managed to save £440 just on the travel. That's without the £138.88 it would cost to renew breakdown cover, as for mobile phone cover, we've never bothered because it's so expensive, don't need to worry now. It was all a bit of a faff what with the phone calls, registering the phones and so on, but worth it

No plans for today, don't fancy a soggy walk so will probably relax with my Kindle this afternoon.

Stay cool and have a good day xx

Well done Jen, that's a very worthwhile saving.
