Blog for Friday 7th August 2026

Yoh! I fell asleep watching TV last night – yikes, next step I will be dribbling and drooling as I nod off! Oh, dearie me.

I shot out of bed in the wee hours of today – another nippy and verry crisp morning, but even so, I managed to get out of bed to greet this new day.

I had my Quiet Time, uploaded my blog and will deal with my emails later in the day as I need to catch up with yesterday’s emails too.

Today I also want to unpack that huge container of my embroidery things and some UFO’s (Unfinished Objects) that Ken and Matt’ brought back from the farm for me.

I think that what I will do for my next baby something for our future great-grandchildren is – I will embroider a cot duvet cover, maybe.

Well, I spent the whole day working on my laptop – sorting out receipts, emails, forms to be completed and blah-blah fish paste! That took me the whole day seriously!

I am ecstatic because I now only have less than ten emails in my Inbox! How wonderful!

I had to complete an online thing from the private hospital for Ken and whoo-hoo, that is done!

For supper tonight I heated the frozen leftover lamb curry and had that on toast as neither of us were hungry.

I have picked up some wretched tummy bug – my weakness in life! Therefore, I was not feeling that crash hot so took myself to bed.

It was only seven o’clock, I think, and I was feeling rather sorry for myself and my body, but do you think sleep would overtake me. Not on your nelly! I tossed and turned. Turned and tossed but sleep sat there in the corner of the room not coming anywhere near me.

Talk about frustration!

Eventually I nodded off, thankfully. I had taken some medicine too so that my tummy settled, and I think that helped which then allowed me to go to sleep.

What lesson did I learn today? Never to take my health for granted.

What am I grateful for today? Getting the time to sort my laptop out and for filling in forms et cetera.

My saying for today is …
