Far too hot a day to be alive just cant stand this heat, the only saving grace at work was a breeze.

Tuesday
Adding extra calcium to the diet is easy with a jelly made with coconut milk with cooked raspberries in, served with a puréed fruit sauce and a few extra raspberries added for the photo.

Wednesday
Bob had phoned while I was out wanting to know if he could come and stay for the night so on the way back home I picked him up. We went out to add a tracker to a cache, had some fun along the river and avoided some Zombies on the way back to the car.

Thursday
Have been doing holiday relief cover this week for a complex where the usual woman is on holiday, so this was the only day off I have this week. So we had planned a route to go and look at some cars we wanted to test drive. So rather than take our car we took the train. Managed to get one that we will pick up next Wednesday once they have changed the cam belt and put a full years MOT on it for me. Believe me this one is from a garage. The old couple of the car I bought the other week have phoned for the documents back so they can resell the dodgy car!!

Friday
Hubby had the car to run down to a friends house while I was at work, so when he picked me up we went for a walk along the pier in Ayr. Seems weird seeing it with a fence all the way round as there has not been one there previously. The wind was strong, though the weather was warm, driving the waves onto the rocks.
When we reached the corner on the way back the wind started sandblasting us in the face, so hubbys pal R started walking backwards, but he managed to walk into a large puddle and nearly fell over the bonnet of a park car. The woman in the car and I both tried not to laugh at him.

Saturday
The other week hubby had managed to break the vase we have on the coffee table with the cord of the hoover, so we picked up a replacement. This one actually goes better than the last one, and a great bargain from a charity shop.

So this week has been a lot better than last week, and have to say glad we have got the car issue sorted, we have a thirty day guarantee on it so that gives us peace of mind.
I love the photo of the water on the rocks, there is something so relaxing about the sea. It has been really warm and muggy this week here too. Hope the chickens are happy in their new home.
ReplyDeleteYes even on a stormy day I find the sea very relaxing, the power of nature has such force.
DeleteWhat a relief about your car! Love the photo of the waves on the rocks and laughed at the story of your hubby's friend landing on the bonnet. Your new vase is very nice, even better that it was a bargain!
ReplyDeleteYes I like a bargain and will often look in charity shops fr items and bide my time till I get what I want.

so glad you got the car sorted!! loving the look of that jelly mmm
ReplyDeleteit was very delicious, and I am pleased we have the car sorted.
DeleteThe water and waves at Ayr look invigorating. We rehomed our chooks earlier this year - best thing we did! I miss their eggs but I have my garden back x
ReplyDeleteYes we were finding it was not working out in the garden, may get some back in a year or two once the garden is sorted the way we want it
DeleteHere's hoping for some good luck with the car. Can't believe they're going to try to resell it, can trading standards get involved with an individual? Heat????? It's not even that cold with the air con on here, it's struggling to get the temp inside down to 27c at the moment. The jelly looks divine and I love the vase
ReplyDeleteno trading standards cannot do anything, neither will the police I have spoken to them both.

ReplyDeleteHere is hoping the car lasts longer than the last one!! Maybe when the garden is better sorted we may get chickens back.
DeleteHope you get some good luck with the car. Loving the chickens. Beautiful photo if the water on the rocks x
ReplyDeletethe water on rock pictures, both to look at and to listen to.
DeleteBeautiful sea view. Wishing you good luck with the car. It was the same here weather-wise, one day stifling hot, another - pouring all day long. Hope your chickens don't miss your garden.
ReplyDeleteI a sure the chickens will be happy in any garden where they have room and get fed.
Deleteso pleased that you have the car thing sorted now Elaine - must be like a great weight has been lifted.
ReplyDeletenice that you had some warmer weather too . the jelly dessert looks very nice and you can't beat a bargain xx
always love a bargain, and will try a charity shop before a full priced shop. The car sorted is a HUGE relief.
DeleteWhat was that first photo!? Too hot! Something we haven't had here this summer :( oh bye bye chickens I hope they settled in their new home ok. Kaz x
ReplyDeletethey seem to have settled in, they have been laying every day for their new owner.
DeleteI love being down the beach on a stormy day and watching the power of nature ( from a safe distance)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you've got the car situation sorted out. It's been in the 30's here this week, unbearable for the kids being back at school with no AC!
