Sunday
Came out of work as per usual at two o'clock as I have a break until four. The sun was shining, it was warm and far too lovely a day to go and sit in the library. The clocks change next weekend and it will not be long before it is too cold, wet and horrible to go for a walk. The hospital have just put in some new walkways to encourage both staff and patients to get out when possible. So I went for a walk, I wandered for over an hour and explored some of the paths. I came across wood henge. There were about ten feet tall. The was a bench on one of the walkways where you had amazing views out across the countryside. It was a very pleasant walk.

Monday
Normally on a Monday we watch the gruesome twosome while daughter takes Bob to gymnastics. As her car is unusable at the moment then we took Bob to gymnastics instead. Again by next week it will be just about dark time we drop him off so we went for a walk round a local country estate while he was in for the hour.

Tuesday
Had looked at the blackberry situation when out yesterday and thought as there was still plenty for picking we would go and get some more. Five pounds of blackberries were picked, and by this time it was getting dark so we gave up. Home to make crumble while the oven was on for tea anyway.

Wednesday
Spotted this and quite liked the sentiment on it, shame it wasn't in the centre of the frame. So bought it for hubby and it is now in the hall.
Thursday
The girls at work had asked me to stand as union rep for the weekend shift, and I had agreed. There is a lot of training to do before we can actually do anything. The basic course is five days, we had two a few weeks back and three this week. Once I have absorbed all this info I am sure there is plenty more to come.

Friday
Have never been a lover of mint toothpastes or mouth washes and such like, but few decent options on the market. Spotted this and thought I would give it a try. Taste is bizarre to start with but is actually very pleasant.
Saturday
Have to say I am not a lover of a smear test, but feel it is necessary to have it done. So had mine a few weeks back, and got the results back saying all clear. That is me for three years unless I spot any symptoms.
Congrats on Spud! And your smear you lucky thing! I had to have a cone biopsy 😕 another smear in 6 months 😳
ReplyDeleteOh no at the cone biopsy and repeat test, hope it all goes ok, but beter picked up early rather than later.
DeleteUh to smears. I guess mine will be due in 6 months-ish I think. It's nice you've been able to get out on some walks. I love the woodhenge.
ReplyDeletea necessary evil is a smear. It is nice to get out for a walk, a dark walk round the vilage not wuite the same somehow.
DeleteI do like the look of woodhenge. The union rep thing sounds like quite hard work.
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet how much work it will be, time will tell if it is for me or not.
DeleteIt's great that you're making the most of the light and weather while you still can! The woodhenge is beautiful. 5lb of blackberries is a really decent haul!
ReplyDeleteExciting to hear that Spud is a girl. Bet you can't wait to meet her!
Yes the blackberries are in the freezer to be used over the next few weeks,
DeleteAnother girl :-) congratulations! I love the autumnal tree picture. I hate having smears done too but they really are a good thing to have so we know that all is ok. Hope you have a good week x #project365
ReplyDeleteshe has 2 of each so did not really matter, healthy is the important bit
Delete5 pounds of blackberries, wow! We still have some in the fields, but don't think there's enough for a pie. Congrats on another girl in the family! Good news re smear too.
ReplyDeletestill lots in the field but many of them have rotted as to be expected in the rain, but plenty in the freezer.
DeleteBlackberry crumble sounds delicious, can you believe I've never had it. I'm a complete apple crumble kind of girl :) Congrats on a new impending grand-daughter :)
ReplyDeletemaybe you will need to try it, maybe even a blackberry and apple one.
DeleteWood Henge looks intertesting and congratualtions on the expanding grandchildren empire
ReplyDeletewas a lot of things to see up on the walk, nice that they are making the grounds nice to walk in for everybody.
DeleteI love the pictures of Wood Henge, it looks amazing! Thank you so much for linking up with #busydoinglife!
ReplyDeleteI liked it as well, love the wee seats to rest on amongst it.
DeleteWoodhenge looks fabulous, what an interesting addition to a walk. Do love a crumble :) Exciting news that Spud is a girl x
ReplyDeleteBob ws over the moon he wanted another little sister, I just want healthy and allergy free preferably.
Deletethe first haul we got was bigger but we were beaten by the light. I just feel while they are there for the picking we should be picking them, No apples on the tree worth picking this year though
ReplyDeleteSunday looked like a lovely day, congrats on the union rep post, hope the training isn't too hectic, have you rushed out to buy baby girl stuff yet?
ReplyDeleteooooh that has reminded me i need to ring the docs to make my smear test - so thanks for that! glad yours is clear.
ReplyDeleteand how lovely to be expecting another grand daughter :) i like the take on Stonehenge with one made form wood - made me smile xx
