Nothing remarkable to report!

Apart from the fact that we were all hurting like crazy after our water park adventures. What a great workout it must have been 💪

And I was suffering badly after being bitten while waiting to get into the water. 5 bites on my right leg and 4 on my left. Just SO incredibly itchy and then sore when I did scratch them 😖 I didn’t sleep very well at all. I was putting cream on them and I started taking my antihistamine tablets again, but I didn’t really get much relief.

I had a bit of an encounter late one night with a giant spider 🕷 Luckily before I had actually got into bed I saw it crawling across some of my clothes. I attempted to squash it but was not successful, it dropped onto the floor and ran under my bed. I thought what on earth am I going to do now, it’s going to just crawl back out and all over me during the night! I’m going to have to go and sleep on the sofa. Then I thought I’ll just have a poke about under the bed first to see if it comes back out and it did! I still wasn’t quick enough to squish it. It ran off somewhere else, I couldn’t find it, but it was obviously still on the loose in my bedroom. Oh my goodness 😳 I was very brave in the end and just got myself into bed and told myself that I must just forget about it. But I haven’t – every single time I go in there I am having a bit of a look about waiting for this dreaded 🕷 to appear again …

We’ve been lucky with the weather and had some nice sunny days ☀

I’ve been spending as much time in the garden as I can. From planting seeds to clearing the giant weeds that my garden seems to be good at growing. Good job satisfaction when it’s first finished though 👌

I’ve been on some nice walks.

I enjoyed watching the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle but I think I enjoyed watching the FA Cup Final even more! (even though it was the wrong result in the end as Chelsea beat Manchester United 😏)

I’ve hoovered out the inside of my car. And I had to do a deal with Gary that he would wash the outside of mine if I hoovered the inside of his! Hungry work – I think we both enjoyed the barbecue in the evening 🍔🥗
