Well, what can I say? The weather this week has been incredible, beautiful, stifling, and rubbish in succession!! Had some lovely walks as usual, including this one, when the sun was just dappling through the trees. I had just been watering the new plants that I put in the ground in the little bed they gave me, and listening to the new GB News Andrew Neil show, and decided to sneak a quick walk in before the sun disappeared completely. Of course, it\u2019s the shortest night\/longest day this week\u2026 then it starts getting darker again! Better make the most of it\u2026<\/p>\n

Grave matters\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

One thing I did this week was tidy up Dad’s grave for Father\u2019s Day with Mum. She has put some lovely roses in there and they really shot up since we went there last, but so had the grass around it. Seriously high! Chatted to one of the gardeners and he said they had been so busy sadly digging twice as many graves as normal, they had not had time to keep everything down like they usually do. Normally, it\u2019s about 250, but in the last year it\u2019s been 500, for obvious reasons. Happily, we managed to get the grass around the graves that we tend looking nice enough and went away feeling contented. It\u2019s been really nice to spend more time with Mum and I\u2019m really glad I moved in next to her.<\/p>\n

Welcome back meal<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Silly me, forgot I had a recipe box arriving while I was down in Devon. So Mum had the prawns from the linguine and chilli prawns recipe, which meant I replaced mine with a bit of scampi. But it was absolutely delicious. First meal I had cooked for a while that was just for one person, not for seven! And very nice it was too!<\/p>\n

Drying chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Before the downpour at the end of the week, I used the opportunity of the hot weather to dry some of my washing… on my new egg chair! \ud83d\ude42 I have loved having it, the double one that was a Today\u2019s Special Value. It\u2019s so comfortable. I sat there for about 2 1\/2 hours one evening just listening to the birds and looking out over the balcony and enjoying the flowers. (And being on my phone obviously!!)<\/p>\n

Hi Wendy!<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Obviously Blake, my little granddaughter, came to stay as well and we had a lovely time as usual, including going to see Peter Rabbit the movie, which was hilarious (see below). One lunchtime, while we were in Dobbie’s Garden Centre for lunch near Carshalton, who should come and say hello, only Wendy Barnett, one of my lovely regulars on my weekly Facebook live #ThursdayBantz. She \u2018ohmmed\u2019 me, I told her, because apparently she said to her friend when driving up from the coast, I wonder if we\u2019ll see Debbie. And they did! You couldn\u2019t make it up! Lovely to have a quick chat. I said to her that I\u2019m always glad when people come up and say hello rather than miss the opportunity, and I really don\u2019t mind. Fortunately she waited ’til after we had eaten and Blake said hello as well!<\/p>\n

Watch – The Father<\/strong><\/p>\n

Guess what! I went to the cinema, and I\u2019m very glad I did. I went to see the latest film with Anthony Hopkins, Olivia Colman and Rufus Sewell playing her hubby. About a man descending into dementia but the best thing about it was the way they portrayed his journey, featuring segments where we see things from his view point. Very cleverly done and very emotional. No wonder it was nominated for awards. Highly recommended, 8.5 out of 10. I will probably see it again. Amazing performances all round.<\/p>\n

Peter Rabbit<\/strong> – really, really funny. Excellent script, great performances, I laughed out loud loads of times, and Blake loved it as well and she\u2019s only 3 1\/2! Another fabulous outing from James Corden. 8 out of 10, bumped up because of the funny little in-jokes and asides specially for adults! Hoping to see Cruella soon. I do love that we can go to the cinema again, don\u2019t you?! Have you seen anything recently?<\/p>\n

Vlog<\/strong><\/p>\n

A funny thing happened to me afterwards though as I went to a shop to get a new screen protector to replace the one I damaged on my iPhone, as I explain on this little vlog<\/a> on my Facebook page this week! Do follow my social media for more updates like this!<\/p>\n
