Tuesday 5th August 2025

In a turn up, I go to the gym first thing.

We have been putting it off, and making an excuse is very easy. However, the time had come to get down on it.

Jools bailed due to a sore leg, so she dropped me at the sports centre so I could cycle part way up a mountain.

Or something.

Listening to the end of a favourite song meant I did an extra two minutes, so happy with that, I walk downstairs and wait for Jools to come back from Tesco.

I end up doing some botanising, and found a large amount of Blue and Common fleabane in flower.

Nice.

I was so into it that I didn't notice Jools arrive.

I climb in, and she drives us home. While I unpack the shopping, she makes coffee before going back out for some aquafit in the pool, back at the sports centre.

I am back home, so I have breakfast and a brew, tidy up, then sit outside with Scully watching nature.

A Green shield bug landed on my leg. I snapped that, and there were a few butterflies about, so I chase those and get shots.

After quite a busy Sunday, after lunch we just chilled and time slipped through our fingers like the cuddly toy of disappointment in a fairground grabbing game.

Somehow, it was five in the evening.

Cats fed.

Jools did dinner, breaded chicken salad with wine.

Yummy.

We listened to I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue as we ate.

So laughed a lot.

Its dark now at half eight, and the fat old waxing gibbous yellow moon hung in the sky.
