Used to love this copper bracelet but over the years it had gone a dull dirty colour. Soaked it for a few hours in tomato ketchup- like new!!

🤢 I just took a sealed packet of pears out of the fridge thinking I’d have one for breakfast & there right on top was a huge slug. It must have grown in there devouring pears. I couldn’t bring myself to open them & see if any were edible or put them in the food waste or subject you all to a photo.

This is how I will be spending my day lounging (as per my favourite artist Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema). It is unfortunate that I am in the wrong era, location and do not have the means to support such opulence!!!

Went to see Passenger at an outdoor concert yesterday. It was a lovely evening & expensive tickets I didn’t want to waste. I was fine just sitting relaxing & the atmosphere was great as it’s his home patch! This is his song -‘Life’s For The Living’

I’m trying to ignore it but after an awful year, two ablations & a cardioversion in March I got my life back but yesterday I woke up with AF again. Back to the horrible palpitations, breathlessness & the feeling of anxiety/doomed.

After a sleepless night I got up to make tea at 5.00 and she just appeared. Have been awake all night & didn’t hear the cat flap. She is however very subdued and not her usual vocal self but at least she’s home & picking at her food! Hope she’s learnt her lesson 🐈 Thanks for all your support

Well that’s my early night over- don’t know where Willow is. She was around early/mid afternoon & Ive not seen her since. Shes usually in & out yowling for food. She doesn’t go far as there’s dogs both sides & she’s scared of all the cars down by the road. Just been up & down the road calling…. 😩

Well that was a scarey evening! There was a loud bang & I looked to see this big evil looking dog head butting window! He wandered around the terrace then just sat looking! Luckily it was cool yesterday evening & the patio doors were pulled to- they’d been wide open all week!
