So pleased with how my cheap plants from Lidl have done. The Bougainvillea are going over now, but the geraniums should see me right through September if I keep on top of the dead heading.

I'll get some better photos. This was a quick snap on the way back from the shop. It's already the most beautiful day.

Been absolutely torrential today, interspersed with spells of glorious sunshine. Overall though water levels rising and the path outside Josie is under water. All that said, got my steps in, achieved my heart points for the week, had a lovely brunch out and bought some new towels. A good Friday in anyone's book. Pax!

Just arrived #Felixstowe after a busy few days back in Essex. The weekend starts here!

I don't think one single thing has gone right today - from paint, to furniture, to lost tools, falling over, falling up, falling down, stained floors, rain, wind, rain and wind, cold dinner... but no bother. This makes it all better.

Due to rotten weather, I stayed in today and cracked on with the redecorating. Didn't plan my time very well so will be sleeping on this sliver of bed tonight. It will however be worth it! The repainting of every room is just about complete, with a feature wall of Aegean blue, and the rest of the walls Potters Clay. It's given Josie a completely fresh feel and dealt with the faded walls. For ten years old, this girl will give the 2022 models a run for their money.

Assuming we don't get blown away tonight!

Before and After. I restored my pitch to it's previous condition after a bad winter, construction work and people driving over it as a shortcut. The final results are as good as it's going to get, as have been told I am moving to a new pitch in September.

Someone seems very happy with their new chair. It's only been up five minutes and Clio's claimed it, had a bedtime wash and is now curled up in it asleep.

Thumbs up for Lidl once again!

To end the day, a few roses from the seafront gardens. The perfume was incredible, as was the sunshine. The best of the day was definitely before 9 am. We've had a lot of rain since.

Pax!

How's your #MondayMorning going so far?

Awake early (very strange dream about an attempted murder of a young policeman committed by a mayoral candidate who was being sponsored by a consortium of Londis shopkeepers) so up and out. Done an hour of walking, clocked up 6k steps and it's not even 9 o'clock yet!!!

Stopping for #breakfast now before walking back to Josie and Clio.

I've been to see the sea! First time since I got here on Thursday afternoon. Been feeling much better today - the effects of withdrawal from sertraline have reduced to ringing in the ears, and the occasional head rattle if I move my eyes too rapidly.

Started to paint the shower room today. Every room is getting the same treatment now - a blue feature wall (Aegean) and three walls beige (Potters Clay). The redecorating will continue tomorrow but now it's time for tea and biscuits. Pax!
