I'm not going shopping this morning because it's raining outside. I might go this afternoon instead. But I was hoping to go over the road to see the lady and show her some of my drawings and paintings and stuff, so we'll have to see what happens.
It has cooled down a bit now, and we've switched the electric fan off now.
We had the kitchen window and the patio doors in the dining room open yesterday when it was hot and a daddy long legs came in. He went onto the living room window and I couldn't get at him to capture him and put him outside because there's all this stuff inbetween the sofa and the window blocking access. Now I don't know where he's gone. If I see him where I can get to him I'll try and capture him and put him outside.
What are you lot getting up to?
What is the weather like where you are?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

@sharonelton Aw, I was looking forward to an outing, and maybe going for a high diddle diddle at the toilet by the cathedral.

It was Tuesday so it would just have been to the little Tesco.

@sharonelton I am so glad you meet this no more young lady now.
I am glad you have someone coming to mow your lawns, I always mow myself.

I went and saw her on Thursday. We had a nice time and we had a good laugh.
We have someone to come and mow our lawns.

@LadyDuck Thank you very much. We had a great time.
We used to have a lawnmower man named Martin but now a guy called Mikey has taken it over.

I have a doctor's appointment this week. That's all that's planned. It's going to rain here shortly. We really can use it. You have a nice day too.

It is afternoon here now. Home and Away is about to start. I had Ja Ja Tofu for lunch which I would have had on Sunday but I had lunch at Church, a couscous and tofu salad which I made on Saturday, and I'm going to have some of the leftovers for dinner tonight.

I hope the rain cleared up so you could go visit that lovely lady.
Today, my dad, his wife, and me made the two and a half hour car ride to my sister and her family’s home. They were having a birthday party for my now four year old niece, and soon to be 8 year old nephew. It was a nice change of pace, and the kids really enjoyed seeing me and their grandparents. Then came the two and a half hour car ride back!

@sharonelton That’s wonderful, Sharon! You must have made her day.
I’ve missed seeing you the last few days.

@AmbiePam Yes, it was a very interesting afternoon. I'm sure I did make her day. She says she does get visitors but not as many as she'd like. She likes classical music and we had Classic FM on in the background.
Thank you. That's very kind of you. You know my Wi-Fi wasn't working.

Today has been a semi-bad day for me. I tried to do a textbroker article and I found out it was refused. They didn't really say why. I usually at least get revisions, but never refusals. I asked the client about it, but they didn't respond. I asked Textbroker about it. Then I got an email saying they revoked my account because I supposedly breached several terms of service which doesn't make since. So now I may sign up with Fiverr. Other than that my mother went to the grocery store for me since we didn't go on Sunday. We are having rain right now.

I'm so sorry you've been having those troubles. I know it can be very frustrating when that kind of thing happens. 
I hope you are OK.
