Blah blah&#8230;\u00a0 I hope it\u2019s one of the final stints of clearing out now, (apart from the scary evil office!) Gosh, my house has come such a long way, considering I had so much stuff! Now that I\u2019ve had two lots of self-catering guests, it feels very strange. Definitely like it\u2019s not got such a feeling of home anymore. So when I get the new flat at the end of August\/beginning of September (I hope!), I will be very much ready for it. I need to move back to my brother\u2019s for a month first to look after the dog while they are away, which I will be doing from this weekend &#8211; see below.<\/p>\n<p>But it was lovely to be back and to finally see some of the beautiful lilies come out, even though I have missed seeing a lot of them blooming in the courtyard. I managed to also catch-up with some fabulous friends, including my super pal Sheila from Holsworthy, who I mention a lot, Eileen, my lovely little friend from Sheepwash, and even neighbour\u00a0 and buddy Linda came over &#8211; all socially-distanced, of course. Ate cake for the first time in awhile, and my hands were aching the next day! #Arthritis. Serves me right, but it was nice to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>Then my super neighbours Chris and Jane helped put together the hot tub. Guess what &#8211; we mended it with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/SFIXX-Set-of-2-200ml-S-Bond-No-Gun-with-Easy-Flow-Formula.product.519561.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">S Bond<\/a>! Well Chris did. He was very impressed at how well it sticks! I\u2019ve got him using the Wet and Forget Rapid on the walls and fences as well. It\u2019s funny when someone has never watched QVC really and you introduce them to all these new products \ud83d\ude42 It\u2019s a real awakening! I\u2019m very lucky to have them, and Sian, who helped me no end, as usual. All because our next guests are\u2026 Julia and her family! They are down enjoying my house for two weeks. I\u2019m very envious! It\u2019s a nice place. Must go and relax there sometime ha ha.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-98529\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Computer-detox.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Computer-detox.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Computer-detox-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Computer-detox-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Computer-detox-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Computer-detox-1536x853.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/>\n<p>I also managed to do something I\u2019ve been wanting to do for ages. A computer detox! Steve from the computer shop in Holsworthy nearby came to help me work my way through no less than seven, yes, seven, laptops. Don\u2019t ask! Why now? Well, my local association is helping Devon county councillor Linda Hellyer provide donations of laptops for needy families and I thought, why not donate some of them to such a good cause? I\u2019m glad to say my \u2018new laptop addiction\u2019 is over, and I\u2019m determined that the next one I get will last! But knowing that at least one of the old ones is going to go to a family with a 12-year-old and two younger children once it\u2019s been refurbished warms the cockles of my heart!<\/p>\n<p>At least the cockles were warm even if the rest of my body was aching &#8211; not only from eating delicious (but bad for me) cake, but also because I worked long hours again and did thousands and thousands of steps during the latest clear out! Think of the steps Deborah, think of the steps \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snippets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Worst meal of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-98530\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Meal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Meal.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Meal-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Meal-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Meal-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Meal-1536x853.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/>\n<p>Thought this would make you laugh. Usually I post a picture of some delicious dinners, which I have been cooking using my recipe box. Well, this week I had good intentions. But back in Devon I slip into bad habits, and was so busy I just had to tuck into something straight away. So I finished yesterday\u2019s vegetables and opened a can of beans. I\u2019ll just have one or two spoonfuls, I told myself. Well, you can see what happened! Oh well, can\u2019t be Chef all the time!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brother Derek\u2019s \u2018kids\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-98531\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Derek.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"2400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Derek.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Derek-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Derek-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Derek-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Derek-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/>\n<p>Here is Daisy dog, for those who have wondered and asked! As you know, she now lives with my brother Derek and his family, including six year old Evie in Kent. Plus little puppy Beau, Daisy\u2019s BFF companion. That day, Derek also had two of his grandsons in the picture. We are very proud of him. Having had five girls &#8211; yes, five &#8211; he has been repaid in full, as three of them had boys in the last year or so. Talk about hands full! Derek is a copper and retires in two months. Well, approximately one month, three weeks and two days. Not that he\u2019s been counting\u2026 Much \ud83d\ude42 That\u2019s why I knew it was a good move if Daisy stayed with him, because she would have people with her longterm. I missed her in Devon this week though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pill-o-pad<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QYYeaNWae5E?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Having trouble viewing this video?

The audiobook is read by one of my regular narrators, Jeff Harding. He reads all of the Lee Child Jack Reacher books (which I devour.) The premise of this is time travel, which I love! Just started it and I will report back next week \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Where do I begin? I\u2019ve got into the habit of watching several shows late at night while unwinding. Seems like there are some benefits to lockdown! So:<\/p>\n<p>Timeless &#8211; this Netflix series is so good, and concludes in two series, which is nice. It\u2019s about\u2026 time travel. There is a theme emerging this week \ud83d\ude42 Plus, I have a new crush in Matt Lanter who plays Logan, the hero of this troupe of time-travelling \u2018changers of the past.\u2019 Just love the concept, (they actually change history, among other things), love the second series, love the relationships and the subplots will blow your mind! 8.75 out of ten!<\/p>\n<p>This is Us &#8211; my friend Krystal at work recommended this, she said it was four series long, so I nearly did not start watching it. But it sucked me in almost straight away. Just loving the three siblings and their very different lives &#8211; in more ways than one. It\u2019s one of those where you find yourself thinking about the characters and wanting to spend time with them. And unusually, two timelines run concurrently, the siblings when they are in their mid 30s, and the siblings when they were young, so we see the parents&#8217; story too. Very cleverly done. Amazon Prime are doing well with their homegrown series for sure, lots of brilliant ones. Anyway, This is Us is great so far, I\u2019m finding myself suckered into a little bit of a mini binge-watch on a regular basis, including late nights in Devon\u2026 I saw the sunrise for the first time in ages! Watch this space, I\u2019ll give it a mark at the end.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget, if you like watching chats and reviews, we will all be joining in on my regular weekly live post on my Facebook page, where we will have a chat about the latest TV shows we have been watching, a book, and a sing-song.

In addition, there is a new item &#8211; Radiance Drops, plus the old faithful, Defilift Night Cream for lifting and firming effects. The best way to reorder is in this set, especially considering how much the body oil is on its own!

I went there to help out my friend Gill and her mum Sheila during lockdown. No one was there to tend the house and garden so as you may know, I stepped up! Now Sheila is well enough to come home again. I have kept her plants and garden in really good repair as seen on some of the many photographs of the flowers and runner beans!<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m very proud of the way it made me realise, I need to make changes in my own life. As you will have read about on my website, on my social media posts, or on here, I\u2019m getting my own place again. First time in three years I will have my own bathroom! (I had been sharing with brother and his family &#8211; and dog! &#8211; when I was in London, and when in Devon always shared with guests!) it\u2019s all go! So expect updates on Ziggy dog!
