Quiet afternoon

I got this entry half done, hit the wrong key and it is gone, will try very hard not to do that again. The day had an interesting start, I was up early and went out to do some weeding in the back garden, still in my pyjamas as we are not overlooked. The sun is at the front in the mornings so the best time, it is too hot to do weeding in the afternoons at the moment. When I went to go indoors Darren had locked me out! I had told him what I was doing but he just followed his usual routine when he goes to work. Luckily I could get out of one of the gates and had to ring the bell to get a not best pleased Tina out of bed. She had been wondering why I wasn’t answering the door as she knows I am up early! Anyway, after that breakfast and a shower and I got really to walk up to the Floral Hall for the U3A monthly meeting. I arrived a little early so went to look at the sensory garden and the sea.

I went into the Hall and looked out for Jean and Ellie and sat with them. Had time to show them the holiday pictures on the iPad before the speaker was introduced. The speaker was Paul Harrison, a crime author and he was very entertaining and really interesting. He had been a policeman and then went into profiling and worked with the FBI in America interviewing serial killers, probably all the well known ones you could think of. Also British ones like the Yorkshire Ripper. He writes books about them not novels, as I said, very interesting. After the meeting I walked back by the sea for a bit, passing this great structure.

And the planted up boat and the sea with a brightening sky. It had been a pleasantly cool walk to the hall but has become oppressively hot again this afternoon.

I had a pensioners fish and chips on the way home, really quite small but very tasty. I walked back through the remembrance garden and took another picture of the white daisies as the sun was shining today.

Back home I took pictures of these lovely flowers that have appeared.

This afternoon I haven’t done a great deal, I do seem to have been busy lately and it was too hot to be in the garden. I have watered this evening and watching the football. The sunflowers are getting tall, some over six feet and a couple are beginning to open now.

Need to get the bedroom sorted tomorrow for the new bed arriving on Thursday. Maybe some morning weeding but will take the keys with me!!
