Saturday 4th July
Saturday once again! Today was a quiet day. I read a bit, whilst the parents went out shopping.
When mum came home, she wanted to make a cake, so I helped her to make a black forest gateaux, it was quite nice!
In the evening, the parents went out to a friends house for tea, so I was looking after Barlow, who ha developed a habit of getting on to the wall behind the BBQ, and then cant get down, so I was leeping an eye on him.
I decided that as the parents were out, I would order a takeaway and have a TV filled evening!
Sunday 5th July
Sunday was a nice day. I had a lovely little lie in till half 9.
The parents are organising the loft, as it is filled with stuff we've kept for years and years, but dont actually need, so whilst they are in the loft, I Sat and kept Barlow company and occupied!
Just after lunch I took Barlow for a walk to Astbuty Mere.
Luckily it was dry for most of it so it was a nice relaxing walk.
When I got back, nat and the kids were over, so that was a nice afternoon visit.
It was hilarious as the kids and Barlow were jumping all over her!
Monday 6th July
As I mentioned yesterday, the parents were going through the loft, and as they're on holiday this week, we're all having a clear out week.
So I've been going through bags and boxes and getting rid of things we dont need.
I also had a message from work, to essentially say nothing has changed and we're still off for the foreseeable.
I really want to go back to work, the sooner the better for me, just to keep me a little bit more sane!
At bed time again, I continued my read of Well Met.
Tuesday 7th July
As you all know by now, Tuesdays are shopping days for Nana! May have taken a little longer with Nanas shopping, as the house clearout is still a thing!
When I got home, there was a lot more clearing out, but we did find loads of old photos from when I was younger, in Saudi Arabia and on various holidays.
I'll pop some of the pictures below.
At bedtime I continued on with my read of Well Met and managed to finish it, and I love it, it was brilliant!
Wednesday 8th July
Wednesday was another day of clearing out the loft and going through more old photos and finding loads of old school reports etc!
Some reports from high school in Saudi Arabia.
My old school tie from Congleton High School!
At bed time I decided to read a Mills and Boon book, which was a nice read after Well Met.
Thursday 9th July
Thursday was my day to clear out my room, and move things around.
I found some more photos from holding a koala in Australia,
Whilst it's been a lot of work, it's been quite cathartic going through things!
Friday 10th July
Friday was a bit of a more chilled day, I managed to do some reading for my course in the morning.
In the evening my sister and the kids came over to look through some of her stuff, which we got distracted my playing a game of Battleships with the kids and ordering a takeaway!
We did look at some more photos from Saudi and Dubai.
Lola with a photo of her mum! Spitting image!
After they went home, I watched a new episode of Roswell before I started to read The Boundless, which I've been looking forward to since I read the first book last year.
So that is week 15 of lockdown! I hope you're all well and keeping safe.
Vanessa 😊
