Kiwi fruit time

I had lots of mixed up dreams last night probably due to thinking of my friend. I had emailed her last night and she replied this morning to say thanks and that she was in total shock as he had not had any symptoms of any kind, terrible news.

I was really busy doing my housework this morning as I was going to pick Alison up at 12.30 so wanted to get everything done. It is surprising how much you can get done when you are in a hurry and I also took Tot out. I had wanted to watch the tennis but I didn't have time never mind, poor Murray.

I went to collect Alison and we drove over to the Mount. I was going to try and walk up it but didn't think the osteopath would be too impressed if I undo all the work she has done over the last few weeks. Even walking around the Mount has made it very painful again. It was lovely walking around and there were so many people out today and groups of children from play schemes and groups.

After our walk we went along to the Kiwi fruit orchards which belong to the owner of Genera. He always tells me to go and help myself once the pickers have been in and this is the third year Alison and I have been and picked. However, the pickers this year must have been very efficient as we had to look a little harder than usual but we had soon filled a bucket each and that is enough for now. Jon can always get Kiwi fruit from work anyway but it is nice to PYO.

We then came back here for a cup of tea and a chat before I took her back. Alison has a daughter living in London and she is expecting a baby in three weeks and her partner is from Newmarket and lives just down the road from our house. What a coincidence. Alison is going to the UK in September to visit her new granddaughter.

When I got home Jon was back so I was glad to see he was being sensible. He said the tiredness comes over him very suddenly and he knows he just has to come home but he is still doing well.

Jon finished watching the end of the Grand Prix and I cooked dinner and then we watched some TV - Lewis but I fell asleep before the end!!

I have a busy day tomorrow. One of the ladies I know from swimming has invited me over to her house for lunch which will be nice. I also have keep fit, aqua aerobics and a Lions business meeting. Not sure when I am going to get the dinner cooked!!

Another lovely day 15 degrees
