Sleeping in the sun

Today we decided to try a new strategy, no shower until after the sunbathing, this way you don't need a bed bath too, so we breakfasted and were in the garden by 9.30am, the sun was glorious and leakage was heavy, not a cloud in the sky.


My Beloved is still complaining that his tan will only be on the front and all upper body, ear phones are a must!


We topped up our tans and settled down for another chill out at The House of Mather, listening to the radio and chatting between naps, My Beloved nodded in the chair and once I realised there was a risk of him dribbling down his chest I thought I had better wake him................ My Beloved often asks why he is the butt of all my stories, I just looked at him, raised my eyes and said nothing.


We have a friend in the UK who has offered to get us ted stockings for My Beloved's legs, but have you ever tried to measure someones thigh with a steel ruler, its not easy let me tell you, tomorrow I will try and find a proper tape measure, this could prove difficult.


We chatted in the afternoon with family, checking on the progress of the new arrival, who seems to be Mather shy just now, best make an appearance soon, there is a wedding at stake.


Showers were eventually taken at about 4pm, offt two sweaty people trying not to skate across the shower floor, not easy, showered and dressed we took our supper at the breakfast bar, this appears to be the best place for My Beloved to eat as getting his leg safely under a table is proving troublesome to say the least, Chilli with toasted tortilla and cheese on the top was lush.


Then it was time for our first trip out together, we took a wee slow walk up the road towards the shops, I made the shop My Beloved waited further down the road, as covering great distances just yet is not his forte, he did say it was good to be out though, although walking 200 meters from your front door is not exactly out, its a little like putting a foot out the bed, realising its too cold and putting your foot back in.

We watched the Jubilee celebrations on the TV until the peepers could stay open no longer then headed to our bed, My Beloved hadn't even been undressed fully before he was pushing up the ZZZZ'ds, I will be glad when we are six weeks further on and I can dig him in the ribs and tell him to roll over, this sleeping on your back malarky is noisy at best, and bed consuming to say the least, have you ever tried to sleep with someone who is Y shaped?

The heat in the house was tiring so the air con was left on for the first time all night since we have moved in, not to low though as I can't stand a breeze across my face as I sleep, the trouble with that is when the temp gets to the point you set it at your air con turns off, then you lay their cooking until the next cycle begins, I really should have set it a degree or two lower.
