A beautiful day

I have had a busy day. I left home at 8am to drive to Home Bargains and B & M which are near each other. I was actually quite excited as I haven't been there for months. The virus numbers are down in our area and I have had my jab so still taking all precautions such as going early when it is quiet, I sallied forth. I walked up and down the whole store and had a good spend up which is very unusual for me but I probably wont be going again for months. I don't really like shopping but it seemed like a treat today. 

As I was on a roll I cleaned the house and still felt quite energetic.so as it was such a beautiful day I had to get out and enjoy it. I live right on the edge of town so drove a little way out and parked the car next to a footpath which leads to the river. It was quite a nice little path along the back of houses which were hidden behind fences and trees. Lots of bird song and tree blossom. I saw all the usual little birds including a robin singing its heart out then cormorants. 






Lots of boats on this part of the river and people out enjoying the sunshine but not many on my side of the river. 





These apartments have a great position. They are very nice inside too as I had to visit a gentleman there when I was a carer. 


I then gave the car a well needed clean when I got home. Sunshine really invigorates. I will probably be exhausted tomorrow.

  5. It is lovely to be near to water and I love the long boats - I could see myself living quite happily on one but I would miss my garden.

  6. I love the boats but after reading Hester's blog about living on one, its not for me. Too much hard work.
