WEEKLY CHAT (Non-Osprey) JULY 18, 2021

We are just back from our morning walk in the woods. We saw 9 camper vans that had probably stayed in the small car park overnight. Thank goodness we don't have to drive there as the woods are a stones throw from our front door.

How lovely to be able to just sail away, Heather!

AQ - I don't know how many times I've managed to leave my precious shopping list at home, but at least the actual writing of it appears to help the memory. I hope your daughter can cope with the children at home, they must all be fed up now.

Very hot here again. Went into the town on errands, and glad I took a drink with me. My OH had had a hot round of golf, and they stopped after playing15 holes.

It seems awful to complain about heat when I've been moaning about the opposite but we just aren't used to it!
I hope that OG is not feeling too warm especially if she is still in prison - sorry - hospital.

Heather as you say it’s hot hot hot… and as you say o bet it feels like a prison to OH.
My 2 have a dust hole under a conifer and spend a lot of time there .
My youngest was proud of her record of no Covid cases on her house but one student tested positive this morning. They have all had 2 jabs and test 4 times a week so isolating was quickly brought into action. Feel sorry for the lad as he is confined to his room and has a high temperature not helped by it being over 33 degrees in Bournemouth.
Dibnlib the camper vans are everywhere and not being respectful in many cases . One was pictured camped up in a local cemetery . I gather Chanonary Point is plagued by overnighters where it clearly states it’s a nono.

Had my last coffee with a friend yesterday. They are moving down to Hampshire to be closer to family and I will miss her. They moved here about 12 years ago and intended it would be their last move however their daughter stayed in Surrey and has since married and had a baby, now nearly 2 with another on the way in January. My friend used to visit frequently but covid put an end to that and so they decided to pack up and leave.

AQ - how annoying again but keep smiling through. Must be annoying for Dau after trio had already gone back to school.

How true with your quote - Take a deep breath...........

Lindybird - they do say its going to get a little cooler by the end of the week so hope the family find it so and you can all enjoy your time together.

How lovely, dibnlib, just on the doorstep - all those trees and the wildlife to go with it.

Thankfully at present I do not do a shopping list as I do my shopping online and just keep adding or subtracting untill the last minute before cut off point. Mind you I do miss going round the supermarket a little.

Evening all: Family members going well but oh Lord am I tired.....Warned OH that I may spend two days in bed once everyone's left..... Hope OG is doing well.
