LAZIN` AROUND!

Kerry and a very attentive Jake

 

Hello everyone, It`s a nice lazy type of day for me today.  I had the garden furniture out and Kerry and I sat in the garden for most of the afternoon. But now Kerry has gone home and the sun is now hidden behind some threatening looking clouds, I ve the covers over just in case it rains, which I`m certain it will.  It is being reported on the news that the country will be having hosepipe bans as out reservoirs are too low. Apparently we need continous rain for the next 6 weeks, I think it is, for them to be full again.  I for one, am always careful with water and try not too waste it, but I blame the water authorities for being the truly wasteful ones. I remember on too many occasions where there has been a water leak in the street and it has not been fixed for several days. How much water is wasted then?  Plus when there is heavy rain, all we seem to have is floods.  It`s crazy!

This morning I went to Tesco food shopping.  I got some shopping for Kerry too as she doesn`t have Slava back for another two weeks, and I told her to just give me her list. It was quite funny me having to back track all the time while following two lists. I`d get all the way down to the end of the shop , check the lists again and find I`d forgotten something, and have to go all the way back again!  But this morning I didn`t mind at all as it wasn`t busy as I got there at 9am before the rush started. Whilst there I bumped into Mark (Jim`s mate) and he was waxing lyrical about the fish that they caught. Apparently, last night he had a BBQ and cooked all the fish. He said it was all really tasty and he was making my mouth water just taking about it!

I just had to take a photo of Kery with Jake.  He wouldn`t leave her alone today and was sitting with her all afternoon.  I`m sure he can tell about the baby, who knows eh?  I thought that it would look nice for my journal and asked Kerry would she mind.  She just laughed and said " Go on then!"  She thinks this journal stuff is all quite mad, but I think she makes allowances for me and puts it down to my advancing age! 

As I type this entry it has got so dark that I`ve had to put the light on. I wouldn`t be surprised if we didn`t have a storm.  It`s quite hot,  humid and still...something is brewing!  I think I`ll take Jake out for a walk before something does happen.....and it would be an idea to take an umbrella.....unless there`s a storm, in which case I`ll just have to get wet....lol !  That`s it for today, I`ll leave you with some trivia.  Have a lovely day wherever you are. Bye for now :-)
