I had another long walk fairly early this morning. It ended up being extended too because, as I was approaching home, I saw lots of juicy ripe blackberries. When I got home I picked up my sandwich box and returned to the blackberry bushes to fill it. It was hot by then but I can keep going when I have a good reason

Love blackberries and used to pick them when I lived back north.
I woke to a thunderstorm. We don't want any more wildfires from lightning (two sprang up this weekend a few kilometres away over the mountains) but I do love the sound of thunder!
Everyone got their regular laundry done yesterday, so I reminded them about changing bedding and that's almost all there is for today's laundry. Nice! I'll sort and put away later - aiming to have empty baskets the same day rather than procrastinating and hiding the clean things in the laundry closet...
I did exercise indoors this morning as the storm lingered. I tend to look for things to tidy up at the same time, so I was able to take care of that task when I had put it off before.
I also drove to my parent's place because they're on a different water system. I filled up two jugs and Mum gave me two more. Got a text after lunch that the notice is over, but I'd rather have extra water stored up than not enough if the notice were extended.
Still ahead today: Will likely check in with the budget and transactions over the last week. I also have a snail mail letter to finish writing. If not today, hopefully tomorrow!
(I edited to reduce the number of exclamation marks. Sometimes they abound because I get a little overeager while chatting... LOL)

I just finished last years, and ours must be about ready. We have thornless brambles. They are larger fruits, but taste as nice.
well we were planning a trek round the woods but rain stops play. We are not bothered by a shower but this is torrential continued rain. So ..I might bake some bread and write a letter later..
I've had an early start today: which I am glad of. But I won't make it a habit.
Anyhow, it should be a good day!
I ended up on the sofa and asleep for three hours. Then I got up and had my daily shower. I walked into town where I met with my sister and we had lunch together. It was sunny, too.
