Nine days later

So here I am on the 10th June, and what has been happening? Well same old, same old. We just plod on, although the weather has been very warm. Much hotter than we normally get this time of the year. The first rain in over two weeks has just come down and even that was not much. Normally I would not argue, as we have had enough rain over the winter months. But the garden is dry and needs some spring rain. 

I am going away next week to the peak district for a couple of days, so that will make a nice change. Hopefully some nice photos when we get back to post. We are probably going to visit Chatsworth house while we are there. One of the great houses of the UK. I have been there before and it will be well worth a visit again. 

So what else? To be honest not a lot, which is why I have not blogged recently. It is nice to put something on here! Although I have made appointments to see two hearing specialists. I have a NHS hearing aid, and I am just missing a lot of things. I am reluctant to pay for another, but as Denise says, I would pay the same for a good holiday, but not for something that would change my life. 

Of course all we hear on the TV and see on the papers is the bloody E.U. referendum. One side comes out with a load of crap, so the opposing side has to come out with even more crap. Don't these politicians realize that they are putting off the voter, not turning them on? 

And now, we have Euro 2016. More bloody football just as the season has come to an end. And if you don't like to watch 20 men trying to kick a bag of wind behind two more, you are thought of as weird and heaven help you if you want to go into a pub, as all there is, is bloody football on the TV. 

OK, that is my moan and I will wish you all a good week ahead. 

A quiet day

So what has been happening today? Well like a lot of days not a lot! Denise is not here today, as she is out with a friend. I will be picking here up later. I have had the exciting time of doing some shopping with my son. Oh I tell you the thrill of wandering around Asda.

And I have just updated my new web site a bit. It was, even I thought a bit rushed and not very good. But I had paid for it and just wanted it out there. So I have dropped on page and updated another and on the whole I think it looks pretty good. Or at least good enough. I will keep it up for a month or two and see if I get any traffic. If not it will have to go. The address in case you would like to look is Dragon Foto.

Yesterday we booked a short break min the Peak district in June. There was a good deal on TravelZoo for two nights for two people for £99 including breakfast and cakes on arrival.  It seemed a nice deal so we booked it up. The only issue was that the hotel rooms were booked up in June so I paid another £30 for a 'superior' room.  This is at the Charles Cotton hotel. It still will make a nice break and we will probably visit Chatsworth house while we are there. I have been before and if you are up that way, it really is worth the visit.

 

So what else to do today? Well the sun is shining and the house is empty. Not a loat I should think. I might put some music on and have a quiet read. Oh the excitement! 

Have a nice day all.
