Tuesday

When I went to bed last night my bedside lamp would not work and we thought it might be the bulb and we didn't have any spare so I used the small desk lamp which is pretty naff so I need to buy some bulbs today.

We woke to grey skies and the forecast was for lots of rain and wind.

The man arrived to cut the trees down just as it was starting to rain. He wasn't impressed that the access was not good and that they would have to carry everything up the garden to get it out. But he got on with it and I went out to my class. When I got home at 11.30 he had gone and everywhere was tidy but due to the heavy rain I have not yet had a chance to go and have a look.

Class was very good thought not many there as I think they might have all stayed home to watch the Americas Cup which is gripping the nation.NZ are making hard work of it and if they lose now it will be such a shame.

I stopped by the supermarket for a few things. Jon is off to Australia next Tuesday and I could, potentially, be off to UK so I don't want to stock up too much.

I was glad to get home and know that I didn't need to go out again and swimming would be cancelled this afternoon.

I changed the bulb in my lamp but it still won't work so I will have to take it to be repaired. Not sure what it is.

The storm came in as forecast with heavy rain and wind and will hopefully pass by the end of the night. I certainly hope we don't have a night like Saturday.

I did some work around the house and then had an email from Heather telling me she had a tummy bug and was up. We spent the next couple of hours emailing on and off when all she really wanted was a cuddle - very hard :-( Hopefully, she will feel better tomorrow.

Jon came home from work but had arranged to have an induction class for Pilates as I think this will be good for him. Just a shame it is a horrible night to go out again.

I sat and waited for him to come home and when he did he was hot and sweaty and needed a shower!!! I don't know anyone who is hot and sweaty after Pilates!! He said he worked as hard as he does at the gym! I don't think I fancy that class or teacher!!

We had dinner and then watched some TV.

I took the electric blanket off the bed this week I am beginning to wish I had left it on!!
