One sky picture, it is so bright now in my room that I have the blind down so don't see as much of it!
Today has been very hot and very sticky, I know, we fair skinned people are never happy! I got washing out on the line and made sure the cats were okay as Darren had gone off to work early. Watered the trees outside and the houseplants inside. The flowers that Sandy got me last Tuesday still look lovely, I did water them well before I went away, and the lilies are opening now.
A couple of quite nice shots of Blue, think that was when I was getting the washing in.

I went down to the surgery, the doctor was not sick today so I have had the injection in my knee. It will take a couple of days to see if it makes a difference I should think, I have an appointment for physio as well next month, so hopefully I can keep going for a few months before surgery. He die examine my ankle as it is still swollen and painful but he didn't think it was anything to worry about so I will just have to wait for it to finish healing!
Sandy had been in touch early to see if I wanted to meet up, so we had lunch at Irton Garden Centre, we sat outside, we managed to find a table where she could sun worship and I could be in some shade! I didn't buy any plants, in fact I wasn't going to buy anything, but this little otter, that can be hung on a wall or fence was half price just because it didn't have a box. No damage whatsoever. £4.99 and seriously cute, it is about 8 inches across.
We shopped in Lidl, Anya has brought me some truffle oils from Italy, complete with a pasta recipe, so I got some bits so that I can try it out tomorrow.
I haven't been very energetic this afternoon, I caught up with Redwater, very dark, it finishes this week.
Tried to take a picture of a little spider in the garden when I went down to check on the cats a while ago.
I had been worried that Charlie had left home as he was out last night and I didn't see him until 4pm. but Darren called in briefly after work and said that he had seen him this morning.

  1. Well I'm not really fair skinned and I'm not too keen on it either! It's too hot for anything. Roll on winter!
    Like your little otter, it had to be had for that price. The flowers really have lasted well. It amazing really. Are you sure they're not plastic? :-)
    You really are one of those 'ladies that lunch' these days. And so you should.
    Hope the injection does eventually help the knee, even if only a little. Fingers firmly crossed.

  2. I was surprised how good the flowers still looked when I got back yesterday, haven't even had to remove any, and in the heat you would think they would wilt quicker.
    Might just pack the otter away for now, but as you say, too good a reduction to miss, and you throw the box away anyway!
