After the rain.

 After the struggle in the rain, I slept really well, the fresh bed was wonderful and it is very comfortable although its not the new mattress we bought not so long ago. Its the one off the spare bed, the new £1200 one was too soft! I slept so well,  I went back to sleep so quickly after having to get up for the loo, when I felt the urge to wee again, grrrr! I thought I'd only just got back into bed and 3 hours had gone! 

When there's nothing on TV we like, we watch a couple of episodes of The Gilmore girls and are on series 6, there are 7 series, so when we've watched them all we'll be at a loss as to what to watch. Any one have a suggestion of something similar?

I'm hoping for some hot days now to get my seeds I've sown in the garden germinating. The rain cleaned the patio and did the grass the world of good as the weed and feed had blackened the mossy areas, grow grass grow!

And didn't it rain, we had thunder and lightening. We had planned to go out and drive to the sea front prom and have a coffee from Booths, one of the pavement kiosks, but we both dozed after lunch, so  switched on the TV. I carried on knitting the Emotional Support Chicken.. I wouldn't say it was complicated but there's a you tube with stitch by stitch instructions! I've decided to knit it in multi-colours. It does make my arm ache a bit while doing it, but it aches anyway, so I always think I might as well do something I like and give it something to ache about! 

Isn't 'ache' a funny word, I've just remembered a note a child used to bring back after a day off school..' Tracy was off school because she had a stomache' Oh dear I used to think I hope I didn't teach her mother.

It's difficult to know where to stop with some words - they seem interminablablable.

I love getting into bed with fresh sheets, too.

I'm glad you had a good night of sleep. It does wonders! I'm laughing at the stomache!

I've never heard of an emotional support chicken so of course I had to google it. Oh, my god, those knitted and crocheted chickens are cute, especially the multi colored ones. I hope you show us yours later on. I'm fascinated by how people can keep coming up with new, creative things.

I didn't know emotional support chickens were a thing, but a friend is crocheting them! They are very cute.
I sympathize with broken sleep. With my knee it is now my new normal. It is usually 2 or 3 am before I sleep, and no really good sleep until later than that. Not fun.

Have you ever watched Signed, Sealed, Delivered (also known as Lost Letters Mysteries, at least in Canada)? It's warm, gentle and upbeat, the mysteries are actually interesting, and they won't give you nightmares! I love reading about what the weather is doing in your neck of the woods, about your garden and also your nostalgia posts! Colette

It’s good you had another mattress to try! A good sleep is everything,

Have you watched Fire Fly Lane? If you like Gilmore Girls you'd probably like that series too.
Ha ha with the spelling, ones that makes laugh are "allot and carnt"
