These dopey summer chafers are in decline so I’m happy to have seen one! I thought it was dead at first but it’s probably only just emerged so especially clumsy. Hopefully it’ll find a mate and it didn’t get eaten straight after I took it outside.
I went for a little walk on a stretch of the Oxford Canal in the Cherwell District area today, so I thought I would share a few pictures that I took. It was very peaceful. It makes my day when friendly boaters say hello when passing by.
I don't have a fancy camera or anything but I still like taking some pictures while I'm out. :)
This is my mug. I love it.
This is the kind of news I like to read. Cows are so lovely.
No rain here as yet, but it could be arriving soon. Probably go for a walk after lunch. Maybe watch the Stuttgart semifinal.
Butter and a nice strawberry jam is usually my go-to. Melted cheese under the grill if I want something savoury. Peanut butter is also nice.
I feel this in my core.
Since it’s going to be a few degrees cooler I might be able to leave the house without instant regret. Maybe a picnic is on the cards.
Yes to the hay fever although it's not really my eyes, it's my nose, throat and inner ears. It's driving me nutty! Antihistamines make me feel rough as hell too, so it's either don't take them and suffer or do take them and suffer in a different way. I'm all for councils doing a bit of rewilding and I really want the bees to be safe, but I will moan about the pollen.
Also, the twat across the road leaves his poor dog outside 24/7 all year round. It barks incessantly day and night, howls at every siren and generally sounds like a very unhappy dog. It's upsetting.
I think there's probably been about 10 flowers in total. It's a shame they don't stay for longer but it's been lovely to see them!
I just wiped and deleted mine, too. PSA for anyone who is wanting to remove all their content, you need to delete every comment / post individually before deleting your account. Just deleting the account does not delete the associated postings, your username simply becomes disassociated with them.
I've felt pretty good this week mental health wise, so I'm taking that as a win. Glad the sunshine is finally upon us, even if it does turn the country into a special kind of sweaty hell. It's our sweaty hell.
Nice one! Be proud of yourself and enjoy the cricket. Hope you can continue on this positive path.
Happy Sunday all. It’s proper muggy here. My hair is looking increasingly like Monica’s did in Barbados.
