Empty day suddenly becomes very busy!
What a beautiful day we have here again. Hubby has been gardening for most of the afternoon.
This morning when we got up we had a relatively blank canvas for the day. We went to the next village to pick up a birthday present for our granddaughter and then had a walk round the shops. We bumped into an ex pupil which is always lovely. It’s so nice to hear how they are getting on. It's so funny that they have left school years ago butstill call you Sir and Miss. Next we decided to pop into Wetherspoons for a coffee. Some Wetherspoons can be a bit grotty but this one is actually really nice. £1.25 for a refillable coffee, you can’t go wrong. We sat and chatted and watched the world go by for an hour. It was very pleasand and really relaxing.
Just as we were on the way home the mobiles started to ring and ping. 🙈 'Mum, can you pick the girls up from school tomorrow please and feed them, be great if you could keep them till about half 7 too as I’ve got an extra shift at work.' 'Mum is there any chance you can ring and get me into the dentist as I’ve broke my tooth and I’m at work and can’t keep ringing.' 'Mum I’ve dropped a massive clanger, I’m at work till half 5 and have forgotten to book After school club for grandaughter, don’t suppose you could fetch her and keep her till I get home from work.' Then it was the step daughter ringing to see if we had an old phone as she has broken the screen on hers 🤷🏼♀️. Amongst all this I had my own mum on the phone wanting me to go with her to her club this afternoon as her usual friend wasn’t going. I went from completely relaxed to manic in minutes. How does that happen??? I’m going to start turning my mobile off I think for my own sanity.
For now, whilst granddaughter is playing with the dolls house I am sitting in the garden with a cuppa and no blooming phone!!!
Hope everyone else has has a relatively relaxing day.
Until tomorrow

Hi Jules, I've spent the last few evenings reading your blog from the beginning. I noticed I had already signed up to follow your blog and then I guess I lost it in cyberspace!! You seem to be so busy all the time. I think you're right when you say you are the easy option and too available. Oh well, they grow up pretty fast. Our oldest GD got married last October. Mother of the bride and myself were asked to were navy blue to go with the wedding party. I paid a fortune for the outfit, $350.00!!! I was in the store that I bought it this week and they have a clearance sale on. you know where I'm going with this. All 3 items that I bought were 70% off, I could have cried. I probably will wear it again though. Oh well, it was a beautiful wedding at an amazing resort in the mountains and well worth it!! Looking forward to your next post.
