Hot, sunny day

Too hot for me for fell-walking (around 25-30C!) but we still got lots done...

- grass cut: front, back and lane
- the clothes (and bedding) mountain washed and dried on the line
- bathroom cleaned
- unwanted purchases returned to shop
- A's latest eBay purchase picked up from sorting office
- watched the Monaco qualifying sessions
- bass practice, using YouTube to find tutorials. I think I've found a series that looks promising, and started on a Beatles song (Come Together) before we went shopping
- about another 20 rows of my Clapotis

...and I finished the day watching Eurovision. How did we ever do it before fb and Twitter?
(I've even been retweeted!)

A day for surprises

Two surprise 50th birthday dos today... We joined one group for a walk during the afternoon, then went to an evening event for someone else. Both birthday people seemed quite shell-shocked, but enjoyed themselves too.

We're looking forward to a quieter day tomorrow, just ourselves. I think we've both been a bit frazzled at times today so it will be good to chill out a bit. The weather forecast's good too...
