Glorious weather we are having for the time of year, well anytime of the year here in the UK. So yesterday and today I`ve been out and about. Yesterday I was playing `musical trolleys` with Kerry in the supermarket and then off to visit a friend. We didn`t get home just before 5pm and we were exhausted! But as I walked through the door I was greeted by the sight of the front doormat chewed to pieces, hmm.... Jake! He knew of course that he`d done wrong. I couldn`t believe it, we hadn`t left him alone for long, as we`d been coming back and forth all day and we took him for a nice long walk at lunch time.... and he wasn`t hungry. Oh well, we know have no doormat so he will have to chew something else, hopefully one of his toys. I heard Jim mutter something about the merits of having a toothless dog but I`m sure he didn`t mean it ! Jim went off fishing with his mate to Windsor but didn`t have a very productive day fish wise. He caught ONE, bless him, but he did enjoy the lovely weather. I was disapointed to find the alerts were down again and I`d no comments for Wednesday`s entry. I did get 2 later on so I was happy again tee hee!
I didn`t bother posting anything yesterday as I haven`t been feeling too well either. I think I must have picked up some `bug` or other. But I`m not alone as Jim has it too. I expect its turning into a cold.... I do hate colds..... :-( Today was shopping briefly in town and then home and a long walk with Jake again. I couldn`t believe it when we got home and I realised that I`ve caught a bit of sun. I didn`t think it was that strong so I`d better be careful. My day isn`t over as I have to drive over to the garden centre petshop at 2.30 to collect Jake`s tablets that he has to strengthen his cartilage in his hips. I had to oder them as they were out of stock when I was there the other day. Whilst I`m there I will have a wander around the centre at the plants. I did say I don`t need much this year but I`m going to bring home the magnolia tree I want to plant outside the back door. I just hope it will fit into my little car. If not I`ll have to drive with it sticking out of the window. I was going to take Jake with me but thought that with his love of chewing wood he might chew his way through the new tree so that wouldn`t be a good idea! I think now I will have a leisurely read through the journals and see what you`ve all been up to. Have a good Friday and enjoy the weather while it lasts!
This tag was made for me by my lovely friend Sharon. Thank you Hon! xxxx

It has been beautiful here as well Sandra...a little overcast today though. Sorry you and Jim are feeling sick. Something is going around here too. People have sore throats and coughing...sneezing! I hate colds too~I guess we all do. Even though alerts are down, I am trying to check journals.
Be careful of the sun and use sunblock. I use it everyday that I go out~don't like it on my face because it makes it feels greasy.
Take care of yourself...how is your arm? Hope Jake isn't missing any teeth over the doormat issue?...hehehehe
love and hugs sweetie,
Sharon
I hope you feel better soon my dear, colds are so miserable aren't they :o(
Did you get the magnolia tree home OK?
They're beautiful aren't they.

Awww poor Jake - at least he knew what he had done. Isn't this weather fab? Makes me sad to be working. Hope you get over your cold soon :-) Terrible having a cold during nice weather.
Ahoy from across the pond!
Virus bugs are rampant here too .. it seems like most of the journalist I read are suffering from cold or flu symptoms, so you're not alone. Unfortunately it's that time of year. England is such a pretty country. I visited your country on four occasions in the 80's and one time, drove a car up the Welsh coast to Scotland. The countryside is gorgeous.
Hope you and your husband feel better soon,
Rick
