Monday

Jon was up early this morning to watch the Grand Prix.

I got up and showered and then made his sandwich etc. I had run out of bananas so I peeled him a Satsuma and wrapped it in cling wrap just like I used to do for the girls when they were little!!!

Jon left for work and I decided to go for a walk on my own as Totty slows me down. I headed out up the street to the part I never walk in and hoped there were no dogs out. Unfortunately, there was one and although he is big and friendly he decided to follow me and thought it was a big game when I told him to go back. I got to the end of the street and wanted to cross the road which is quite busy and he decided he was going to cross, too. It had to be just as the lights at the top had changed and lots of cars were coming down. They all slowed down for him as he stood on the other side of the road looking at me!! I was trying to ignore him. One man shouted out to me 'haven't you heard of a lead'. I shouted back he was nothing to do with me.

Once the traffic had gone I called him back and started to walk back to our street and he followed and carried on down. Once I felt it was safe I turned and carried on with my walk and fortunately he didn't follow.

I walked all the way to Maungatapu (where we used to live) and back again. It was a bit windy but very warm.

Once home I got Totty on her lead and set off down the street to do the usual walk with her.

The new house which is being built below ours has a contractor there and he has a little dog which is usually tied up but not today!! It wasn't a good day for me and dogs. This little thing came running down towards us and Totty went mad at it. Fortunately I managed to keep them apart till they had both calmed down and I chased that one away and carried on - phew what a walk.

Once back I made my shopping list and found my sister in laws birthday card which should have been posted last week still in my bag!! Her birthday is tomorrow.

I went to the post office and posted the card and one for my brother in law and then to the supermarket.

Back home it was lunchtime and I was really hungry.

I watched an episode of Neighbours and one of Call the Midwife before I got back to my housework and a bit of ironing.

Jon came home and watched the rest of the Grand Prix and I made dinner
