FRIDAY FRIVOLITIES!

                  Hello everyone, and welcome to this very hot and humid Friday. It really is hot and the forecast says we`d better make the most of it because it won`t last.  Well of course not as this is England and our weather never lasts very long, not the good weather anyway.  Though the year before last we had a scorching heatwave where it was unbearable just to walk outside.  I remember dreading the thought of going to work in our non air-conditioned office. I thought I would melt away from the heat. Going to work was dreadful, as the moment I got into my little car it was like stepping inside an oven. Now we do have a forecast of more of the same in July and August, I do hope not but I am really glad that I won`t be working all summer.  I also worry about Kerry , for the same reasons that Jeannette worries about her daughter. Being pregnant is never much fun in summer, but if the temperature soars, they really do suffer.  

I spent the morning shopping with kerry. Jim decided not to go and left us to our own devices...sensible really as men are no fun when you are shopping. Kerry treated me to coffee and cake in Marks & Spencer, their cappuchinos are the best I`ve ever tasted and their lemon drizzle cake yummy!  Kerry treated herself to a comfy pair of sandals for her poor suffering feet...she changed into them straight away...bless her!  

This afternoon I`ve decided to take it easy as I`m off out for the chinese meal tonight. I`m really looking forward to it. I`ll order a taxi for 7.30pm, collect B en route and then on to the restaurant, Mr. Li`s. It has a good reputation for food and entertainment and is reasonably priced too, what a great combination. What more could we want?  

Tomorrow I`m taking the camera outwhen we take Jake for hiswalk. I need Jim with me when I take the camera as I can`t hold Jake and snap away at the same time. I`m going to have a nice quiet weekend, I hope.  I have to be careful when I say things like that as it often turns out nothing like that and a thousand friends and relatives descend on us at once...lolol!   So for now, I will take my leave of you. I hope you all have smashing weekend, take care and relax...Bye for now :-)
