A couple of hours in the garden this morning, tidying up and moving plants around now the hot summer is over but still some sunshine. Some have faired better than others but I've cut the worse bits out and #nature is wonderful so hopefully they will recover. Roses still flowering and my sunflowers.

Jigsaw done ... to a fashion. Not sure those remaining white edge bits are in the right places but I was beyond caring just wanted it out the way. Can't say I've really enjoyed doing it as I couldn't complete like I usually do jigsaws! #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles

Definitely not a salad day today so picked up some ingredients to make leek and potato soup ... but I forgot one vital ingredient, the leeks! Thankfully found some in the freezer! Big saucepan of spicey leek and potato soup made! #soupseason #homemadesoup

Been too see Dad now he's back in his care home. There was no purple bow on his door, he was up sat watching TV in his room eating lunch. I could have cried when I saw him ❤️ Whilst in hospital he's not been out of bed, slept nearly all the time and the palliative care team had been to see us twice!

Dad is out of hospital and back at his care home. Been a worrying week but hopefully he'll be on the road to recovery ready for his 92nd Birthday on the 7th October! He's been well cared for by the NHS but hospital aren't good places for people with dementia #NHS #dementia

Been a difficult week, Dad was rushed into hospital on Monday with breathing difficulties. He's responded to treatment but it's still early days. I'm spending a lot of time back and to from hospital but hopefully he can be discharged and back to his care home soon.

Top Tip ... don't sterilise your Chilly bottle with Milton and descale it with a desclar solution because one of them has reduced it's ability to keep water hot! Should have taken Sarah's advice ... yes ignorance is bliss! Bottle is now downgraded for cold water only! #chilly #chillybottle

Sunflowers are still flowering and a few are still to open. The roses keep blooming and I noticed one of the cosmos had as well. #mygarden #sunflowers

I noticed bits of limescale in my #Chilli bottle. Only ever use the bottle for water, hot or cold. I empty after use and always leave it drain. So I filled it with boiling water and sterilising fluid and left it over night. Look at the colour of the water! That's just from use with our tap water!

Jigsaw sort of afternoon. Just some edge bits do but they are just white pieces and nothing to help find where they go, so it's either get one piece and keep trying it all around the edge until it kind of fits or call it a day! I can't say I've particularly enjoyed doing this one! #jigsawpuzzles

Romeo & Juilet at the New Vic Theatre tonight! Wow what a production and fabulous performances by the cast especially Russell Kane and Natalie Casey. Well worth going to see if you get the chance. #NewVicTheatre #romeoandjuilet

Eventually my sunflowers 🌻 have started flower. The tall ones are over 7ft and were planted out early June! The one the squirrel broke has now flowered in the vase! Let's hope the others open soon. #sunflowers

Been to Dorothy Clive Gardens this morning. I go to remember Mum as it is a place she loved to visit. The waterfall wasn't working today, so I found a bench up by the Belvedere. A robin came to join me on the bench and as the saying goes 'robins appear when loved ones are near'. #rememberingmum

Celeb Pottery Throwdown ... watching the celebs throwing on the wheel bought back many memories of disasters I had ! It's good when it goes well but the moment it gets that wobble it's game over 🤣 #potterythrowdown

Packed up the car and went for a quick wander on the beach between rain showers. Surfers were loving the weather. It rained all the way from Rhosneigr to Llangollen... didn't stop off anywhere as I'd have been drenched. Not much of view through through the mountains today. #Anglesey

An evening stroll along the beach. The sun disappeared behind clouds before it set but it was a lovely last evening of my holiday in Rhosneigr. I will be back. #Rhosneigr #rhosneigrbeach #Anglesey

Treated myself to a Janet Bell jigsaw of my favourite lighthouse. Saw it at start of holidays and thought about it all week. Just went back in the shop and I couldn't see any, there had been a few boxes on Saturday. Hunted around and found the last one! That was lucky!

Random thought of the day as I'm walking on the beach ...does the tide come in quicker when there's an in-shore wind and waves that are breaking? #tide #beach #randomthought

A mizzly, drizzly afternoon so I put the kettle on and finished off my book with a brew and the other Monut, salted caramel crunch. Again very messy but very yummy! #Monuts #Anglesey #melinllynon #mattcain

This afternoon I continued my road trip and popped down to Cemaes Bay. The tide was just going out so a wander on the beach in search of sea treasure... lots of small sea glass to be found, even found an elusive piece of blue sea glass the jewel of the sea glass! #cemaesbay #Anglesey #seaglass

Today a visit to Melin Llynon for Monuts. Lots to choose from but I stopped looking at cherry bakewell 🤣 A salted caramel fell into the box as well and I was £10.90 poorer 🤣 The cherry bakewell Monut was gorgeous not really doughnut texture, much softer and gooey 😋 #Monuts #melinllynon #Anglesey

Headed back to Rhosneigr just as the hawks were returning to RAF Valley and a Boeing P-8 Poseidon flew over! Someone told me what it was after I called it a big white plane 🤣🤣 Perfect timing! #rafvalley

Today I've spent in and around Rhosneigr. Walks on the beach and watching the jets. It's been sunny but quite windy so had to dig my coat out ... still had my shorts on though 🤣🤣 The rain forecast for this afternoon ended up just being a few spots! More sea treasure found #Rhosneigr #Anglesey

A wander along Rhosneigr beach in search of sea treasure. It was quite windy and I got sand blasted 🤣 There's a lot more sand at one end of the beach today! #seaglass #seatreasure #rhosneigrbeach #Anglesey

This morning I've been to South Stack lighthouse but instead of walking down to Ellin's Tower I walked up to the steps down to the lighthouse and then up the mountain. I didn't go far as I'd not put my boots on but nice exploring as I'd not been there before. #southstacklighthouse #Anglesey

This afternoon I've sat watching the surfers in the bay of Rhosneigr. Chatted to one of the guys and I now know that there are windsurfers, kite surfers and foils! It all sounds very technical and very hard 🤣🤣 I struggled stand wind surfing on a lake ! #Rhosneigr #rhosneigrbeach

A wander on the beach as I was early to gain access. Great view from the apartment of Rhosneigr beach and across to RAF Valley ... but two flights of stairs carrying all my bags/shopping, etc and I'm fair knackered 🤣 #Rhosneigr #rhosneigrbeach #anglesey

Managed a bit more of the jigsaw this morning it's looking more like it should and feel I'm over the annoying part 😂 I still prefer getting the frame done first though. #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles

just got round to watching Wham 10 Days in China. Watching the Chinese reaction to their first introduction to Western music and thinking how lucky we are to have grown up with music. I can't imagine life without music and it's ability to take you to a time or place. #music #wham

A rainy Wednesday afternoon is perfect for a jigsaw. I'm getting there but it's doing my head in not having a frame as it makes tricky judging where to place pieces I've joined. I know it will fit on the board but I'm forever shuffling bits up or across 🤣 #jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles

Making slow progress but it so out of my usual jigsawing way ... I like the edge done first so I can see a frame but seeing it's mostly white edges it's not possible! So made a start on words, canals and buildings. Hopefully it will all fall into place! ##jigsaw #jigsawpuzzles #emmajoustra

A fab night at Penkridge Open Air festival watching Let Loose, The Fizz, Heaven 17 and ABC. You can't beat an 80s night of music. We sang and danced in a muddy field! Rain held off til just before ABC #80smusic #Penkridge

ocular migraines are very weird ... I cleaned my glasses twice til I realised it wasn't my glasses, it was my eyes ! It didn't last long. No idea why they are happen, I don't get them often but I'm wondering if it's weather related as thunderstorms are forecast for later !

Kendie @kendie.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Held off making a decision about swimming as forecast wasn't looking great. A few minutes later thunder, lightning 🌩 and rain ⛈️ arrived! Swimming postponed. Looks like we made the right decision #wildswim #wildswimming #whitmorelakes

A bit of embroidery and my wild swim project done. Of course it wouldn't fit in the frame now it's been sewn up so a bit of fiddling and a prit stick! Actually a self portrait as I did have a purple polka dot cosie 🤣 #sewing #wildswim #wildswimming
