Bit damp here after overnight drizzle with more forecast all day

About to walk into town (easy 20 minute stroll) to get a mother's day card for next weekend and drop off some dry cleaning. Will hopefully get some weeding done between showers later.

We've had a nice morning / lunch taking Beau (new doggo) for his first visit to the park and a cafe. He did really well and handled everything smoothly. This week has seen a step change in his excitement levels and he's very much better handling new things.

A slight downer is Jack (old doggo) is under the vet for severe weight loss. He had scans and x-rays yesterday looking for nasties but thankfully nothing found. It seems his long bout of IBS has thickened his intestine wall so he is not getting much nutrition from his food. He is on steroids for the diarrhoea the IBS caused and we expected him to start gaining weight once that was under control - didn't happen. So increased dose of steroids to reduce the bowel inflammation and see what happens. If he doesn't gain some weight in the next two weeks its more vet visits.

Oh dear. The weather was lovely until 4pm, when thunder preceeded rain. It's all my fault. I decided it was mild enough to sit outside when I got back from town so I dug the patio table and chairs out from their winter home in the shed. And to seal my fate I pulled the barbecue out of the shed aftrr lunch too and gave it a proper degrease and clean. That's when it started to thunder...

Bit of a nothing day today, so we've decided to go out for a slap-up Sunday roast. I can taste the gravy already

Grey, damp, and chilly here. Just about to have some dinner then I'll go out and do a bit in the garden before I go for a walk with Mabel.

Morning all. Lovely sunny day here now, after some very welcome rain the night before last and yesterday. Some of the stuff in my garden has suddenly taken of in the last 24 hours thanks to the moisture.
A few small jobs to do here, but I could be tempted to head out on the bike for a while today as it's so nice out there.

What's everyone else up to (apologies to all those of you having to work)?

Our daughter is 31 (thirty one!) today. How on earth did that happen? So we're meeting her for lunch and a walk in the sun.

Where does the time go? My two are 23 this year

It makes you feel old doesn't it? My daughter is now 40, officially middle aged
