I'm now paying for my indolence! I've had horrid allergy attack since writing and just sneezed and sniffed through rest of the day. had lovely cool bath which helped and now I'm back to sniffing and sneezing with added bonus of itchiness - and I didn't use ANY toiletries or anything! Back to Grrrr!!!! I think!

My neighbours are out in force and have been since this morning. Very sweet little blond grandson wandering around and playing in the giant paddling pool. Barbecuing, drinking and general raucousness going on including Granddad in long shorts bearing the slogan 'England' and displaying both builder's bum cleavage and beer belly - quite impressive for quite a slim man!

I had bacon and egg for lunch with tiger loaf followed by a couple of Mars ice creams. I have a lamb steak for tea. I've read the main bit of Observer, done some number puzzles and listened to Yoko Ono on Desert Island Discs - It's a hard life!
