Sunday Day 222 – 9th August
Bee had her Urdu class today instead of yesterday as the teacher had to cancel. Bee is enjoying it and currently learning her numbers and colours. Headed to the local Pakistani shop and got some spices and things we needed. Then in the afternoon got a call from mum that one of the budgies had died. She was actually mine but when I went to Pakistan once my parents looked after my two budgies. When one of theirs managed to escape, the one left bonded with one of mine..so when I came back I told mum to keep both of mine too. She had been looking ill for a while and had taken her to the vet once but he did nothing really….I could see something wasn’t right and was planning to take her again on Monday myself to speak to the vet but she passed away before I could. She was my favourite as she was so gentle. Went over to the parents and buried her in the garden. An old photo in her memory.
Monday Day 223 – 10th August
Not much happening today. My left foot starting randomly aching yesterday afternoon and today it was just worse. Don’t remember twisting it or bashing it against anything so really didn’t know what the problem was. Rested it up while hubby gave me some painkillers and looked after the girls, thankfully he had a day off.
Boiler guy also came today to service the boiler…Had full protective mask on but he was nice and had a chat. Usually I offer them a cup of tea or something but they aren’t allowed to accept anything in these times.
Tuesday Day 224 – 11th August
Foot still aching but had things to do today. Time to collect Bee’s glasses. A few adjustments made and they fitted perfectly. Even though the prescription is small she immediately said things looked a bit clearer when looking in the distance.
Decided to have something to eat at my favourite place to have lunch while we were venturing out. Thankfully I had booked a table yesterday as because it was the Help Out to Eat Out scheme it was extremely busy. I have never seen the place that busy before at lunch in all the times I have been there. I decided that I will not be going back while the scheme is in place as it was just too busy for me.
Also treated myself to a couple more jigsaws from The Works.
Wednesday Day 225 – 12th August
After the walking around my foot started aching badly again so rested it up. Weather wasn’t great either so decided to start on the jigsaws. Got Bee finding all the edge pieces – and Rosie promptly decided to sit in the middle when I put the board on the floor.
Ended up having to miss my exercise class in the evening due to my aching foot. However the days rest helped and it had improved substantially by bedtime.
Thursday Day 226 – 13th August
Foot ache almost gone. Rosie was due her vaccinations and her annual check up last month. Finally got a letter this week to remind us and booked her in for today. She absolutely hates the pet carrier and constantly miaows on the way to the vets. Had to call them from outside and the vet came to take her in and check her over. She’s a bit overweight and it was suggested I put her on a diet…but I don’t often treat her or give her our food and her food is already limited so not sure what more they want me to do!
Friday Day 227 – 14th August
Not much planned today except a bit of laundry and some cleaning. Did an IGTV of a new book we had received to review. And did some more of my jigsaw.
Saturday Day 228 – 15th August
Our Saturday mornings are busy again and I prefer that. First thing is Bee’s karate lesson and then a quick dash home for a shower and something to eat before it’s time for her Urdu lesson. Got my delivery of a new iron. Been meaning to get one for ages. People had recommended a steam generator iron but the good ones were pretty expensive…and to be honest I hate ironing and only do what is necessary…so spending over £100 for one didn’t seem worth it. Plus have heard they are big and bulky and I just don’t have the space. Popped to mums for an hour and then an evening of TV and home made pizza.
I have a steam generator iron and it is amazing but it take up so much room!!!! Love that pic of your cat trying to get some jigsaw action. For foot pain, I find the ibruprofen gel is really effective, hope youre feeling better soon
Thank you will try the gel if it happens again.
So sorry about your budgie.
I hope your foot is feeling better now. Those aches and pains are worrying especially when you don’t remember injuring it.
hehehe. Rosie sitting in the middle of the jigsaw did make me chuckle. x

Thank you.
She does like to get in the way!
So sorry to hear about the budgie. Hope your foot is feeling better now. It’s weird that you don’t remember doing anything to hurt it. Love the photo of Rosie sat right in the middle of the jigsaw! It must be nice to have your busy Saturdays back.

Thankfully the pain eased up after a couple of days!
Sorry to hear about your budgie – it’s always difficult when a pet dies.
Yes the trouble with the scheme is it just means places are busy – not sure it was the best way of doing things and I don’t suppose anyone will go in September.

When you think about it it doesn’t make sense…encouraging people to be safe and stay home when they can…and then enticing them out with this offer!
Sounds like a busy week. It’s good classes are ongoing over summer holidays. N’s tennis isn’t usually on – they just have a couple of camps, but thankfully this summer are running as catch ups for the months lost. I think we’d be bored stiff without those bits of routine.
Karate usually breaks up in the summer for a couple of weeks but this time they haven’t probably due to the losses already made.
they are big and bulky and great for bedding but not worth it for a few clothes.
sorry about the budgie, always hard to lose a pet. hope the foot pain stays away. cheap non branded ibuprofen tablets do the same job and save a fortune.
Yep thats what I thought…not worth it for a few clothes.
I hope you are feeling better. The budgie is so cute. I am not a fan of ironing at all. xx
Ironing is horrible isn’t it.
My cats always love to help with puzzles too. Sorry to hear about your budgie, we bred them growing up, such lovely little birds. I’ve not been persuaded to eat out yet, the crowds would definitely put me off #366
Thank you. Budgies are my favourite.
What an absolutely Beautiful budgie! Lovely colouring. Condolences on your loss. Though Thank you ever so much for sharing / showing photo.
Thank you.
Sorry to hear about your budgie. She was beautiful. Glad that the foot ache eased off over the week. I can imagine that places must get busy with the Eat Out to Help Out scheme – I have to admit I’ve yet to try eating out. #project366
Thank you! Loved her colours.
Sorry to hear about your budgie, it looks very much like ours. They are lovely little things aren’t they. Ours has just started saying good boy! Your meal out looked very appetising.

We haven’t managed to get any of ours to talk yet!
My condolences on the death of your beloved budgie. She looks beautiful in that picture.
Sorry to hear your foot was painful.
I had a steam generator, it took a lot of space. It worked well for a couple of years, then started ruining my clothes by getting rusty fluffy bits from inside the holes. It was impossible to clean inside, and I stopped using it. Bought an ordinary iron with a steam option in it, but use a spray bottle with water instead.
Thank you! She was such a lovely colour.
Sorry tohear about the Budgie. I hope your heel pain is better now. My cat always sits in the middle of my jigsaws
They like to get in the way don’t they!
Awww poor budgie. It looks so cute. It’s good that he was told not to accept anything due to safety. The food looks delicious. OoOOOoO homemade pizza

The food was pretty good!
Sorry to hear about your budgie, she was very pretty. And your foot glad that it sounds like it is on the mend. Our cat is the same he hates the basket, he also had his jabs recently but then we didn’t need his cattery space after having to cut our trip short.
