Treated myself to proper tea brewed in the pot this morning ☕️

The reality is that I have run out of teabags and had to turn every kitchen cupboard upside down looking for the tea pot which was eventually found under the sink.

Been out pedalling in the sunshine. The very low, blinding sunshine 😬
Also it was cold.
Worth it though 🚴🏼‍♀️

Started the weekend with a bit of a wobble but heading into Sunday night on an even keel again. Bring on the new week, lots to look forward to 😊

We are Friday night ready 😁Pyjamas on, I have one of those little single serving bottles of red and have ordered pizza delivery from the restaurant that’s a 5 minute walk away from my house.

This lady caught my eye as I stood under the shelter of a tent at a running event last weekend.

Love the @lakelandtrails.bsky.social events. Stunning views, stone skimming, and a little bit of drumming of course.

On bonfire night Gwen is allowed a tennis ball in the house. It’s not a total distraction but such is her obsession with ball play it has proven more effective than absolutely anything else we have tried over the years. Including drugs from the vet.

Been on a course all day (a proper one with a qualification at the end of it!)
Saw this whilst stretching my legs at dinner time.

Not having to get up at a ridiculous hour to catch the sunrise.

The much missed Jenny dog and Gwen. Sorting and organising what feels like a lifetime of digital images at present and I was struck by the similarity when I came across this shot of Jenny.
Proves once again to me that we didn’t find Gwen, she found us. #alwaysmeanttobe #dogs

Of course, lots! 😊 Though sadly she can’t come to my sons ceremony next week, it’s too far.

Gwen has very reluctantly been brushed to within an inch of her life, burrs and matts cut out and finally a shampoo in the shower. For a dog who loves water she’s not at all impressed.
She’s coming to daughter’s graduation tomorrow 👩‍🎓🐶

Gwen is loving the heatwave, lake on Friday, river yesterday and beach today.

Made it out on my bike this morning. Lap of the lake with friends. Ridiculous and irresponsible car parking at its best round the East side.

We kicked off a flash mob yesterday as part of the Unity celebrations. SO much fun 😁
