Tell Us About Your Day

Luckily not for some years but I have had issues with children / young teenagers before in a rougher area I used to live in. The problem is that children can get away with many things these days and a word to the parents usually gives more grief. One incident that I do remember here was when my stepson was in his teens. A neighbour came round to complain about something he had done and I said that I would have a word with him. She appeared totally shocked that I was not instantly agressively flying to his defence. It totally took the wind out of her sails as I think she was squaring up for a confrontation.  He could be very argumentative so, although not a troublemaker as such, he often rubbed people up the wrong way.

So the executive compensation is evaluated every year. It's about to be wrapped up, I can't wait to see what the outcome is for my package but frankly, I am happy with what I am making now and I am very appreciative of it already.

I have been sprucing up my apartment: putting on a load of laundry, opening the windows, washing up... You name it.

I am now browsing the Internet. I am an Internet fiend! I do love my computer. Oh: I have also given myself a manicure today, using a mulberry colour. It is rather gorgeous. I am absolutely in love with my nails.

That is my day so far!

Yesterday I went out and picked a sandwich box full of blackberries from bushes which grow on waste ground locally. They will nicely liven up my breakfast cereal.

This morning it was a big start to clearing up the decaying plants in the greenhouse and garden. It's a bit of a shuffle about though as the bees are still living in the compost bin so I had to find somewhere else to put the plants.

We have thornless blackberries in the garden. They look weird!

I cut the grass.

What a magical start to the day a low ground mist and a golden sunrise just made everything so pretty.

I will talk to mum later..

wishing everyone a lovely Sunday

And if I remember, you have lots of them...

I could've used a dip in the pool today, kjay!

I know its still early but Ive just finished the major part of clearing away my summer clothes.
I will keep a couple of things out for warmer days but most of the no sleeve tops flimsy dresses and skirts can be packed away now.

I dont have expensive or fancy clothes but I like to look after my clothes so summer and winter my wandrobe gets rotated the things for storage and washed checked for wear ( some go to charity) pressed folded and put into storage with scent sachets ready for next year.
I dont like having a cluttered wardrobe with summer dresses next to chunky jumpers or thick jeans next to summer shorts..

It really was nice and since today is a holiday here I think I might take another dip.

A whole room just for my clothes. That sounds so nice.

Well, I did a LOT of cleaning of my apartment today: hoovering, dusting, laundry... you name it.

I also have been out today: and - boy - is it hot. I had to shower for a second time when I got home. I literally gave myself a cold shower. The cold water was such a relief. My old clothes were gross and damp, too: yuck.

Anyhow, I went to the library, I went to a local shop and I had a drink of Tango at a nearby cafe. In spite of being sweaty, I enjoyed myself today. I just love being busy and getting things done, you see.

I tried to get my nails done but t5hat was a no go so i decided to catch some more sun and lay by the pool.

My cracked windscreen should be sorted today. I will keep my fingers crossed. I'm glad your heat rash is getting better.
