Pottering

I am continuing to enjoy my holiday very much. It's the first time for a long time that I have felt able to relax properly and I'm still getting used to it. Oh I know that life will always have its issues but, to quote a dear ex-colleague, at least they will be different issues!

Here are some of the things I have done over the past two days:

• Watched Wimbledon on television.

• Made rhubarb syrup. 

• Made rhubarb crumble ice cream. 

• Gone to see my optician, Carol, for an overdue check up. 

• Made an overdue dentist's appointment.

• Arranged to get the shower fixed, again overdue. 

• Watched the last two episodes of series six of Game of Thrones - both brilliant!

• Attached a tiny video camera to Tom Cat's collar so that I can find out what he gets up to.

• Spent some very pleasant time chatting with Ally, Cat, Davie and Chanel. 

• Written lots of thank you letters for my leaving gifts from work.

• Pottered around the house.

Happy days!
