Playing Hookie

The ironing was calling my name so sweetly today I could not resist the temptation, at least I appear to be getting better at not stock piling the damned stuff, My Beloved sat outside whilst I slaved over the hot iron.


We fed the trees today this was a joint effort due mainly to the measuring of products, I have no idea what we are feeding them, but apparently it's good for fruit trees, lets hope so because it didn't look very nourishing to me.


Once the house was sorted and the clothes put away it was time to sit in the sun, we spent a while in the garden My Beloved covered from hip to toe in bandages, socks and a dish towel where the skin was uncovered, his farmers tan is coming on a treat.


We then decided to take ourselves off on a little jolly to the beach, getting in the car was tricky, but having regained some of his strength now at least My Beloved can now swivel both legs in together without loosing a limb, we drove to Carmel and parked the car at Sun beach having came in the far end of the beach it was only when leaving we realised it was easier to park the other end and would have been less distance to travel, not for myself you understand, but for the Beloved on crutches.


We took a stroll in the sun from Sun beach to Camel beach, very slowly and eventually arrived at a cafe where we sat and watched the world go by in the sweltering heat.  Two iced coffees later and we were cooked, but only on one side as the sun was blazing in from the sea. Whilst there one of the nurses from Elisha came over to say hi to My Beloved and check on his progress, then it was time for the return journey back to the car and home.  It was lovely to be out My Beloved is getting a bit clucky being stuck to the house.


Facetime with Lou lou when we got home was abusive to say the least, but most of it was directed at My Beloved, had a quick chat with the youngest two nephews, and then it was serious business, Lou Lou went over our redirected mail with us, most of which was designated for the shredder, then it was time for supper.


Tomorrow we have to phone HOT as our all singing and dancing tv system records, but jumps whilst recording offft, what a pain, and we all know how I love to speak with HOT, it will probably take me a couple of hours to get through to an English speaking customer care chappy, when all I want is an engineers visit.
