Monday - Hot, sunny and humid. 


I went to bed quite at my usual time but I read for a while. I have found that I really enjoy reading a chapter or so before going to sleep. I read on my phone, I don’t have to turn on the light to disturb him. 


F woke me up this morning when he sat on my side of the bed against my feet. I’m not exactly sure why he needed to do that, but he did. 


I got up when my alarm went off and made a trip downstairs. I did my usual watching of the news and then snoozing. I dragged myself downstairs a little early and grabbed my breakfast.


I had a quiet day up here. It was so hot that I had to turn on the AC quite early. It was thirty degrees by 11 am. Yikes. Too hot for me. I’m afraid I also took a nap today. I was so tired.


I got up and checked out the internet. After a while, I decided to go downstairs and get my lunch. While I was preparing it, the doorbell rang. I answered it and it was F’s aunt. I let her know that K was sleeping, but invited her in out of the sun.  I woke K up and let her know that her sister-in-law was there. I didn’t know that F’s uncle was outside too.  I closed the door to the kitchen and let K deal with her brother and sister-in-law.


I went upstairs to eat and put on an episode of The Great British Bake-off. It was a “where are they now” episode and it was really heartening to see that many of them have actually gone into cooking or baking as a career. 


I watched the news and around 5:20, F called to say he was coming back. I went downstairs and got a start on dinner.  As it was Monday, I had to clean up the kitchen. Sigh. I don’t know why the others can’t put their own dishes and pots and pans away or wipe off the stove. It is so annoying.


Anyway, tonight I made a veggie bake with chicken and some stir-fried asparagus. F came back with a bunch of asparagus on Friday. I felt like I should have cooked it then, but I couldn’t face doing it then. 


I did a lot of veggie prep and some throwing of stuff into my air-fryer and then about 30 minutes later I had dinner on the table. F took an age to come downstairs, it was annoying. I basically finished my first plate of food before he showed up. K and F both enjoyed dinner, even if they didn’t have any rice, poor things.


I got to do the dishes and it took a bit of time, but no worries. I had my favourite podcasts to keep me company.


When I finished I said good night to K and then went upstairs. I relaxed for a while and watched an episode of The Tick. When it was finished, I went downstairs and took a shower.


Shower taken, I came back upstairs. F was going to sleep so I bid him goodnight and put on Apple TV+ for a bit. I watched an episode of Loot and enjoyed that.


I’ve been blogging and such since midnight, but I think I might go to bed soon. It would be interesting to get a little extra sleep tonight!


That’s it for me, come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….


PS…I don’t have a bruise on my forehead, but it still hurts if I touch it. Poor me!
