What are you all up to

Took visiting dog to Crow Point today. Anne Cleeves based a couple of her novels on the place. Usually very quiet and mostly locals but busier today. People kayaking, boating, and two girls with life jackets on just floating and chatting. Dog just runs all the time, so cooled off in the water, me getting hot walking her, while others sunbathing but just perfect for dog. Lady watching asked,‘does she ever stop?’ No!  Sadly she only has one eye, I noticed her rubbing it, sand I think, no chances taken, time to go home.  Oh and yes, she won! Couldn’t stand the 5.30 wake up calls from the kitchen, so last night I moved into the spare room and she joined me, ‘laid in’ til 7.30. worth it. Not how our dog was ‘brought up’ years ago but ‘old dog new tricks etc’. Also she isn’t in her own surroundings with her own family. Seems very happy here though.

You must be a very righteous person CS😇, seeing all that sun shining down on you, especially on Snowdon. I've been up a few times but never had the privilege of seeing that view from the top.

Thanks but I think it was more to do with more righteous people being there than me. I was sort of collateral damage. First time for me and found it very enjoyable. We've been really lucky with the weather!

I do hope you feel better soon bakers2. I always think the hot weather makes you feel worse. OH always got a lot of chest infections when our granchildren were little, caught from their recurring colds and  coughs. I am glad that you had a good catch up with your friend from Essex. We finally managed to get our local son and daughter to take their belongings away to their own houses but still have quite a few boxes of youngest son's stuff in his old bedroom and all his Uni stuff in the loft (he is now 46 😁). He is promising to clear our loft next time he comes over from NI. I will believe it when I see it!. Goodness you have been busy in your new house. It must be very satisfying to tick the jobs off the list.

We are finally off duty with our animal and grandchildren caring duties as our daughter and family are home tomorrow and OH gets his car back, hopefully in one piece. We just have to fetch our son and DIL's cat from the cattery in 2 weeks. Their journey to Greece was trouble free and they are having a great time. I am so pleased for them as their 2020 holiday was cancelled and it took them nearly a year to get their money back after a lot of hassle.

A very hot day here and even hotter tomorrow 😳

Thanks Bakers2.  Good idea about the charity shops...

It's funny about lofts and children. Both our sons have houses which are either the same size of bigger than ours and yet we still have some of their stuff here. In one loft I have a large suitcase full of Jaguar Racing F1 team clothing. (As a reminded Red Bull took over the Jaguar Team way back) I am pretty sure I could make a fortune from selling it online! But I am not allowed to

As well as the two lofts, extension loft separate from the original we also have an over stairs storage space which is full of other sons University work from all the different degrees he has done. The problem is that new houses apparently don't have useable loft space, well that is their excuse. No doubt one day they could get the job of sorting out anyway!!!

This sound so familiar David.  I'm going to try and get our lot in line to do some sorting in the autumn....  I'll let you know how I get on... 🤣🤣🤣

We don’t have easily accessed lofts, but do have a Box Room. There’s paperwork and family stuff going back to nearly 100 years. We won’t be the ones to get rid of it. Just pass onto the next generation. 

I’m a hoarder, married into a family of hoarders. It’s a big house, but full of stuff we probably don’t need. But you never know. It might come in useful.

i tend to box things up, put to one side and my OH reluctantly takes down the cellar, or up to the Box Room. Or one of the bedrooms.
