Day One Hundred and Forty-Six - Clean ups and Tidy ups

My friend’s leg is much, much better. She didn’t even decide to take the antibiotics although she is going to keep an eye on it. She’s been icing it, resting it and keeping it elevated. Certainly hasn’t got any worse and she says it’s less swollen than yesterday. That’s one bit of good news.

The other is that within 24 hours the council have managed to clean up the vandalised signs. Part of me wonders how long they will stay unvandalised. Another part of me resents the fact that they’ve had to spend their time cleaning up after such mindless morons. And another part of me is glad that they’ve metaphorically stuck two fingers up at the yobbos. So they deserve me posting this photo!

Lovely early walk this morning in the comparative cool. In fact it even drizzled. Which was wonderfully refreshing in the heat. One of the walkers said there was the most glorious full arced rainbow which I didn’t see because I was walking in the other direction. I’m sorry I missed it because I love rainbows. 

I have again given into the heat and done very little today. I did one great big tidy up blitz. Mess gets on my nerves. And even though the end result might not be actually tidy in the real sense of the word it’s tidier than it was, if you see what I mean.

You might be wondering about the fridge. Well it did come on again. Which was a relief. But I’m still keeping an eye on it. Because there was a bottle of sparkling water in there. I suppose it was about a quarter full. And it froze! In the fridge! That’s not right. I do wonder whether it’s something to do with the extreme heat? Also the timbre of the noise is slightly different. Also noticed that the carrots had frozen so had the cucumber. I’ll see what happens when the heat wave is over. But we’ve had heatwaves before and I don’t think I can remember anything untoward happening. Maybe I just didn’t observe it.

I was chatting with my next door neighbour over the wall yesterday evening. She is as fed up with all the noise as I am. She said she often ends up going indoors because she can’t stand it any longer. That’s very sad but it also means it isn’t just me! 

It’s the weekend so I’ve given the news very little attention. We all need a rest from it sometimes. I don’t think anything much will have changed. I wonder whether to avoid the news altogether and just carry on as I’ve been doing. I wonder if anybody would let me know if for example lockdown was completely lifted! Coronaviruses completely eradicated! The vaccine, successful vaccine, was readily available! Hope so otherwise I’m totally screwed!
