Slipped off ladder in conservatory, banged my chest, painful but hopefully only bruising. Another hot day, supposed to be a catch up day before Mike and boys arrive for James and Alex’s 4 night stay. Slowly did a bit of weeding during day but high temperature and painful chest found me resorting to dozing in […]
Another 30 degree plus day. The boys surprisingly slept reasonably well in our Shelterbox tent and Ollie slept in his own deluxe fishing tent. Fortunately we had booked well in advance for our kayaks at BodiumBoating on the River Rother. We set of relatively early and spent the morning swimming and jumping into the river. […]
Another hot day. Stuart, Natalie, Oliver, Danny and Toby arrived in the morning. The young boys loved the Shelterbox tent we had ready and we are hoping they last the night in it. A perfect evening weather wise so fingers crossed. This afternoon we all went to the quarries, had a great paddle in the […]
As it was going to be hot today (34 degrees) I went for an early 5k run. Very uncomfortable, very muggy so just a jog through the valley. Sue had a lunch party with 4 friends today so I was the waiter. It all went well, nice to see Diane, glad she is keeping herself […]
Today it was my turn to visit Mum. With the new rules it will be me from now on as the constant visitor. This is the home’s policy based on Govt Guidance. Fortunately, Viv was able to visit last Sunday, Les the week before and Sue the week before that, so it is my first […]
For the unaware TT means Time Trial, a cycling event where we race against the clock over a set course. Today’s was a 10 mile ride near Tenterden. After an early morning start I rode to Biddenden where I met Les and some others from our gang and we made our way to Tenterden for […]
According to the daily Care Report Mum was quite comfortable today and apparently played a ball game and went to the Shopping Trolley, whatever that is. I only left her a bit of money when she started at the home. I wonder if she has spent it, I am visiting on Thursday I’ll find out? […]
I returned to Leybourne Lake today. A pleasant day, so as Sue’s blood donor session had been cancelled due to the Virus she came with me. Sue walked, I swam! This was the first time that I had used my new watch in open water, it marked a good course, but I needed another 5 […]
For the first time since last year I managed a bike ride followed by a decent run. Not so hot as yesterday, but very pleasant. I cycled to join friend Mike at Brenchley then off we went to Cranbrook. Found the cafe called Food for Thought. We were made very welcome and I even managed […]
Hottest day of the year today, 34 degrees here, 35 at Heathrow. Some talk that it was near 38 in some places in the South making it 3rd hottest ever recorded.A bit of rain tonight and temperatures lower tomorrow, pleasant 25 degrees so I am off for another ride with Mike. Sue went for a […]
