Easy Like Sunday Morning

This Sunday morning is not any Sunday morning. No Sir. It’s THAT Sunday morning. That Sunday once a month when we take a walk into Cranford Park and go take samples from the River Crane.

So this morning we got up at eight, got dressed and went straight to the park. Otherwise, we get up, make bacon and eggs for breakfast and then we sit there feeling full and not wanting to move.

We did wonder if it would be wet underfoot crossing Avenue Park or muddy and boggy on the path near the river, as Cranford Park is not well-drained in parts. However, it wasn’t either of these things, and we soon got a water sample. We measured the flow of the river, and the depth.

We headed back home, and I got straight into a most important task, that of grinding some beans and making a fresh pot of coffee.

Once that was done, and some relaxing Sunday tunes were fired up from Spotify, then I was able to get on with the next task, that of reporting our findings on the river. The data is collected and we get regular reports on how clean the river is (or not, after any pollution incident).

Next up, I thought, while I’ve got my laptop fired up and on my lap, I’ll got for today’s two hundred and fifty, so here it is!

What’s next of today’s agenda? After I’ve wrapped this up, it’s a trip to Costco to stock up on a few grocery items.

See you tomorrow!

Saturday’s Two Hundred & Fifty

Sometimes things don’t go to plan as they should. This afternoon, during my lunch break I decided that  I would write this blog post instead of leaving it until this evening.

So I sat in the staff canteen and wrote my two hundred and fifty.

Then I added a photograph, and that’s when it went wrong. After I’d added the picture, I decided I didn’t want that one and wanted to choose another. I hit delete, and with that all the blog post disappeared completely. Now, I was writing on my iPad, using the WordPress App, unlike now where I am on the real site, logged in, and typing directly into WordPress itself.

IBMAnyway, lesson learned. I won’t do that again.  I can’t even remember what the heck I typed this afternoon, so this is completely different content to what I wrote some eight hours or so ago.

The weather has been a bit of a mix today. Typically, it was trying to rain just before I went to work, but it stopped by the time I actually left the house. I wasn’t so lucky when I finished work though. Just as I was walking to the bus stop – in my shirt sleeves as it’s not been cold enough to call for wearing a jacket – the heavens opened and I got quite wet. No sooner had I got to the bus stop and shelter and the rain stopped again. It’s just typical English weather!

Anyway, I’m home, fed, watered and soon ready to call it a night.

Goodnight!

It’s Almost Tomorrow 

Just before midnight. I fess up. I almost forgot to write a blog this evening. After getting home just before nine,  I had a quick freshen up, and then continued  with yet another salad day!

Having had bacon and eggs for breakfast (but nothing else!), I decided to continue with the healthier eating.

I had a mozzarella and bean salad for lunch, and a banana  and peach for good measure. Had one coffee, but otherwise I drank water all day.

​This evening I had some roast chicken thighs and some more of Kathy’s  home made cucumber  salad. We were still peckish after that so we had some tuna and crackers to finish. I treated myself to one small beer, but that was my only indulgence for the day. 

So this is how I almost forgot this post! 

After the food I sat with Kathy watching some of the Olympics and then we changed channels, and watched some of the darts from the World Series in Sydney. We caught the tail end of a match that Peter Wright was playing in, and then went on to watch Phil Taylor play a really great game, and win ten games to go through to the semi finals.

Switched back to the Olympics to watch England get a Gold medal in the showjumping, and then we called it a night, and that is when I remembered.

Goodnight!
