Summer's day

It was really hot today.....first of all I went to the usual keep fit class at the Village Hall meeting up with chums from the village. First of all we have a warm up and then go around the hall doing various activities of a keep fit nature. Now this is where you catch up on what's happening in the village - having quick chats doing bits and pieces. Then it's a bit more seriuos with no time to talk! A bit of relaxation to finish off and more chatting!

Then I went to Sara's house and sorted out her wires to her telephone and computer which had got in a bit of a muddle and then back home where I met John walking Rory.We had a good chaton the village trail with Gary, a retired fireman and now a sculptor, his son and doggie aged 16. John may have a potential sailing partner.

Phone call from Su in France to see if we can arrange to meet up when she and the children come over to England in a few weeks time.

John had the day off today and we had intended to tame our riverbank which is very overgrown but it was so hot we decided to clear a bedroom instead which had been rather neglected too and had lots of stuff to be sorted out.So items are in the car for charity shops and several boxes of paper ready for recycling.

Later on we went round to Ruth & Colin who lives next door and had a celebratory glass of champagne as Ruth retired from work today. John rustled up supper (which was very nice indeed) and we all watched Wimbledon on the telly, the amazing match between the American and the French guys which still hasn't finished and will be continued tomorrow. 50 odd sets -amazing.

Good evening at book club - great discussion and plans to have an outing in August at a special cafe at Eype near Bridport that Christine enthused about.Here is the link
