Just like that, we are in June. Half way through the year!
Something good happened last week. My new car arrived 😁 The right model and the right colour and the right number of doors!
So this week starts with a trip to see our financial advisor. The joys of being of pensionable age eh? Asking him to oversee our accounts back in 2011 was the best thing we did, his advice has been invaluable over the years. A morning in his office will be time well spent.
Coco is hoping to have a better week this week. She had to have a small procedure to remove a lump from the top of her head last week. It was a bit like having a skin tag removed for a human and she had to have a crucial part of her fringe shaved so she's looking a little different! Then we had Daisy the dachshund come to stay for a couple of days while our daughter went to visit her in-laws. So it wasn't the best of times for Coco, she doesn't like sharing us with other dogs!
I've got my pre-holiday hair cut booked in for Tuesday so hopefully I won't be copying Coco with the dodgy fringe. I think I've also reached the pre-holiday stage where I should probably check that my swimming costumes still fit, I don't want to get overseas and then find I don't have anything to wear around the pool!
I had an email last week that got me thinking and I'm wondering if it's something they are sending to people all over the UK. It was entitled 'Are you ready for anything?' and it was from the Local Resilience Forum of our county constabulary. It was a survey to see how prepared you are in case of an emergency event. Being of a suspicious nature, I wondered if they know something we don't know! It also made me buy a litre of bottled water, a dozen AA batteries and a dozen AAA batteries when I went to the shops. Just in case ... 😳 I'm not sure a litre of water would last us long but it felt like I was a tiny bit more prepared!
I need to find a new project for my 'knit and natter' get together on Friday, I could continue with my ongoing blanket, but it's got to the stage now where it's heavy and hot on your lap when you are working on it. I need something smaller!
So I'm off to trawl through online crochet pattern websites, wish me luck! Hope you have a good week!

Congrats on the new car!
Great that you have the right car now! Hope Coco has a better week! I need to try on my swimming costumes too....
Daisy is so cute, but please don't tell Coco I've said that. My cats don't even like to look out the windows & see other cats in the yard! Beautiful new project. Have fun driving about in your new car.
Aww your poor Coco! Hope she is doing better! The new car looks fabulous! That is so exciting. My big news is that we are having our kitchen cabinets refinished this week. I have been excited for a little refresh!
Ah, I love the new car - its so cute! And, my goodness, the pattern of your blanket, and the colors, are just wonderful!
Poor sweet Coco really had a rough week. Hope her bump surgery has healed well and that she doesn't have to share you guys with Daisy again for a long time. Lauren brings her dog over sometimes and our kitties go nuts.
Your car is beautiful. Glad you finally got the car you ordered and paid for!! I guess it all worked out because you had the 'wrong' car to use while you waited for your car to arrive.
Love the doilies you have crocheted for your 'knit and natter' group. The colors are so pretty and springy. I bet your blanket is heavy and hot to tote around and work on in warmer weather. Maybe you can pick it up again in the fall. I noticed our library is offering beginning crochet lessons. Might be time for me to sample that craft.
That notice from the Local Resilience Forum would have given me a start. You do wonder what they know that they are telling 'us.' When PC was still working, he sometimes had a heads up on the 'scoop' and what kinds of terrorist threats the country was picking up on. We have managed to keep an amount of cash at home, just in case. And would always have something to eat for months on end. But I hadn't thought of water or batteries!! I guess in this crazy world we live in, you can never be too prepared.
I don't know what kind of car your new one is, but it sure is cute!!! Also, I love, love, love your blanket. The colors are so pretty and the texture of all the different patterns are beautiful!
