A hot day. Sun out from dawn to dusk.
RIP Jean. You would have been proud of your children and grandchildren today. Was a sad and difficult day but lovely at the same time.
Still can't believe only three weeks ago we were enjoying afternoon tea with Jean and Doug.

Another very warm and sunny day.
Collected desk top from JL this morning. Fingers crossed techno man turns up on Tuesday.
General tidy up of the garden rest of the day to impress the family visitors. Lawns cut and borders weeded. To be fair hardly any weeds due to the heavy mulch covering from shreddings in the Autumn.
Young great spotted returned again today, not seen adults for a while however. Brilliant photographs of moths and butterflies today. Foxy clearly about with two large offerings left. Have set the cameras again tonight.

A very warm and sunny day.
Not the best of mornings having to return to John Lewis having slept and thought about what was said to me yesterday. I paid good money for a product that does not work. Could not believe that because Windows 10 is being rolled out that Windows 8 just stops before 10 has been installed. Different person today and response completely different. A straight replacement and installation as the original.
I am to collect replacement tomorrow so ready for technician to install on Tuesday. Not ideal as from Friday we have Tan, Peter and family staying with us for a while.
Fingers crossed it all happens.
Collected our pottery pieces from the Leaping Frog Ceramics this afternoon with the Girls. What a result, they all look brilliant. Shame I am unable to show photographs.
Loads of moths and butterflies flying about, more than I have seen for a long time. Bees also still very busy, weather is helping of course.

Another very warm day. Loving it.
Not my kind of day, pretty irritated now.
Morning shop this morning then John Lewis this afternoon to sort out the malfunctioning desktop.
I am beside myself with anger, having been in sales a large proportion of my working life I am qualified to know what customer service should be. Customer service should be just that. Apparently not. Matters not a jot you have a product just a month old and is not working.
No, it won't work said Mr. Techno man. All to do with update 10. Six million customers are in the queue for windows 10. So what does one do then? Nothing, you have to wait. So unable to do banking or other personal work one uses a desktop for? Correct he said.
I am gobsmacked, once I have calmed down and slept for six hours I will be ringing head office tomorrow.
With the mood I was in it was a good time to visit Fobney and litter pick.
Nuff said tonight.

Enjoyed another warm and sunny day.
Internet is getting to me now, another day off line.
Spent the day mooching - started with 45 fuchsia cuttings, been such a good display this year thought would try growing a load for next year. Not on the scale when I grew them back in the 80s but non the less a fair few.
Moths and butterflies were busy today, nothing in the moth trap but plenty flying about. A 14 spot ladybird made its way into the moth trap last night.
Enjoyed a late evening walk at Fobney tonight with the RBC bat man. Very interesting evening with 5 different bats recorded. Apparently there are 8 known species of bat at Fobney.
A bat detector is on my 'to buy' list now.
Sadly no photographs still as still without the internet.

A very warm day, bootiful.
Visited Martin & Marion at Hartley Cottage today. Good to see Doug coping with the stress but oh boy the cottage appeared empty without Jean. To see the empty chair.....

By Jove what a hot day.
Day spent with Emma, Phil and the boys at Wisley. Taking a picnic was ideal on such a glorious day. After a walk around the arboretum and lake we played a couple of outdoor games before setting up the picnic. A little hot for games I might add.
For some reason unable to import photographs today or use the Internet hence to using the iPad again.
