This last week has flown by with so much going on.

I had to be up and out early for my second vaccination on Saturday morning as my appointment was 8.12. It was all very well organised as before and I was in and out in about 5 minutes.  I was more prepared and took paracetamol before I went and again at lunchtime but luckily I had no side effects at all this time.

D and four friends went to the Pizza Cafe in our local town for lunch to celebrate her birthday last Wednesday. Hubby picked them up at 5 and then they came back here where, as luckily it had dried up and there was a bit of sun, they sat out in the garden chatting, taking endless photos and drinking cocktails. Meanwhile as it had brightened up in the afternoon I took S, K and L over to Teignmouth where we had a walk along the seafront and the girls had an ice cream from our favourite place Cherrry On The Top

Today, yet again, I woke to the sound of rain - it really has been relentless. In the morning I caught up with ironing and some chores and this afternoon everyone decided they wanted some fresh air regardless of the weather. We only managed a short walk as it was so wet and windy - needless to say there were very few other people about. The cruise ships are still in the bay and I imagine they will be  for some months to come.

Well I need to sort lunch boxes and make sure everyone has bags packed for school and then I am going to carry on reading my latest book.
