Thursday 3^rd May

Started the day with two sales people who talked me through lights/ lamp shades and general electrical ‘stuff’, I had to concentrate REALLY hard and try and make IMPORTANT decisions, very stressful! This is only the beginning, I am useless at ‘interior design’ some people just have a knack of knowing how to match things up and I am rubbish!

Went to the Merton to sort out my membership and ‘chat’ to the lovely staff there, I bored them all with the talk of my blog and my Just Giving Race for Life page, they pretended to be interested and made me  feel a  bit better, as had a ‘sad moment’ (hair loss).

Met my lovely curly haired badminton friend , where instead of badminton we swum and put the world to rights- luckily no-one else was  swimming in the lanes as we did that annoying thing of swimming side by side and talking non-stop!! HA HA

Made my way up to Fort Regent for a little light badminton ‘try out’ with Son no 3, a mad St Martin parishioner and her equally crazy daughter, what a combination! Needless to say I LOVED IT, but I can’t say the others did….. Mostly because I had my ‘bossy teacher voice’ and attempted ‘new scoring’ and various coaching rules. The adult ‘lady’ did a very good impersonation of appearing interested, the ‘girl’ got stroppy when I didn’t praise her enough, and my son just ignored me!!

This means that both the TENNIS CLUB players and my ZUMBA class better watch out next week, and I reckon Pentanque is easily on the cards for Saturday (weather permitting)!!

I was pleased to catch up with my farming neighbour for a cup of tea, difficult with so much going on now the weather is drier, before finally returning home to meet up with the ‘blind man’ again !

Yet more IMPORTANT decisions making to be done as regards ‘blind’ choices, luckily my daughter helped out so at least I can blame someone if they don’t look right….LOL

Farming neighbour had kindly given me some plants for the veg garden, and as it was a lovely evening thought it was perfect to get started, lettuce, tomatoes and courgettes, plus I had loads of sweet peas to put in. Put a few more mange tout peas in, few rows of beetroot and filled in the turnip spaces!!
