On The Island

A work day. It was quite quiet in the morning but crazily busy in the afternoon.

Lunchtime I popped out to the shops. I was going into the butchers but someone had collapsed on the floor so I gave that a miss!! Then I had just got back from lunch when a worker from Sainsburys (next door) came rushing in and asked if we had a blanket as someone had fallen in their shop and there was blood everywhere! Oh dear. So, two ambulances outside. I don’t think this weather is being kind to a lot of people but to be honest there was a very strong wind coming off the sea so it wasn’t excessively hot.

As I mentioned, the afternoon was so busy and I was exhausted when I arrived home.

Knees Wood followed by a coffee. Ellie seems to find some energy when we go round the wood and leads the way!

At lunchtime we met up with Jem and Dom and had lunch with them at The Bell in Minster. It was nice to see them.

Men’s final of the tennis in the afternoon. Pleased to see Sinner win.

Another early morning walk and watching more tennis. Then of course watching England beat Norway in the football.

Another early morning walk to avoid the heat of the sun.

A message from the surgery, following from the blood test, to collect some meds from the pharmacy which I did. I also had to make appointments for more blood tests.

We both decided we made the right decision not going to London today. It was hot already at 6.45 at Pegwell Bay for our walk.

Garden in the afternoon and in the evening the France game! Yes, they won.

Up early again and to Ramsgate Park in the shade but I have to say there was a slight breeze walking along the sea.

Later my blood test at the surgery. Three attempts to get blood. The last nurse there managed first time! She did keep apologising though.

In the afternoon,  tennis again. Arthur Fery had a fantastic match and is through to the semi finals.

We decided it is so hot and hotter in London predicted the following day that we would not go to see the show “Sinatra” as planned and so we put the tickets up for resale.  We couldn’t see the point of all that time on a hot train.
