A trip to the dentist this morning - yay :S. Just checkups for us all I hope. Then off to see a relative of my husband's who is in a care home. He's a gay man in his late 70's, very intelligent, chatty and opinionated but kind.

Tuesday 4 August

Husband has bought a new car. A 5 year old royal blue Ford Focus. It looks goooooood. I like it! His old (14 years old) car was falling to pieces really. He liked the colour - bright red lol.

We went over to our local park this afternoon, husband and eldest son played tennis and I went around the park with our dog and my two younger children who were on their bikes. Really humid day, today. With showers...really light showers which were quite refreshing.

On our way to the park (we walked) husband spotted a fish tank dumped by someone's dustbin, also a microwave dumped further along the road. So....on our way back husband picked up the microwave...opened it and saw there was no 'plate' inside it so then closed it - on his own arm lol. I laughed as he suffered, meanie. He left the microwave and went back to pick up the fishtank, which he has since cleaned up and is going to get some fish etc. It's amazing what people dump. Some stuff is still usable, and nothing is really wrong with it at all. I've seen all sorts dumped, as he has too.

Watching a bit of shopping t.v. this evening (just entertainment) - and my youngest (10 years of age) says in astonishment "Who wants to smell like Britney Spears?". Good question! lol Errrrr.

Yesterday we had a lovely afternoon - the weather was gorgeous. We had a picnic in the meadows and I read some of my book. Finished it! The Brutal Art by Jesse Kellerman. Very gentle/good read. Not a particularly sharp ending, perhaps because I didn't understand its subtlety?! Got another few books from the library today - and I've started on one of them, Soul Murder by Andrew Nugent. Seems a very easy and quick read at the moment.

Started my period today. Yay. I was even thinking I'm perhaps not going to have another period again --- menopause etc., etc. I'm 44 so perhaps it's going to happen quite soon. It was a relief that I started my period. I actually felt a bit bereft and strange to think that I'll soon not be having them anymore...well 'soon' whatever/whenever that is.

Husband is doing a bootsale early in the morning tomorrow. The weather is forecast to be warm and sunny - fingerscrossed. Daughter will be helping him and I'll be popping along shortly after he begins with my other two children and my parents. Husband's car is playing up dreadfully, so we may have to fork out for a 'new' car for him. His current car is quite old and has done over 100,000 miles, apparently.

I have no idea why I've come back to blogging. I guess it's just someplace to spew my trivia. I really have NO idea.

My MOF (I think I referred to him with different initials/acronym earlier in this blog!) - male online friend - is back today from a week on holiday with his family. We have never chatted sexually and I never intend to. He's just a like a female to me, to be frank. Of course, there's always going to be a tiny piece in my head, and probably his too, where you think..what if and so on perhaps. My husband can totally, totally trust me - I mean I would never sleep with another man ever. I don't know why but it's in my psyche - I just don't have it in me to cheat. God knows why. Just couldn't do it.
