turpsWhen James finishes work today he's off for nearly two and a half weeks. It's his main holiday and for the last two years, we would have been starting to pack to go to the Canaries around this time. Obviously that's not going to happen this year, but it'll be good for him to just relax, sleep in and hopefully, spend time walking. Apparently the Wetlands will be reopening soon so we can go back walking there and the toilets have reopened at the beach which is good as its been reported people have been using the dunes.
I suspect a holiday wouldn't have happened this year anyway due to chipping away at the vets fees, which will jump up hugely next week as Milo is booked in for teeth extractions. Just as the bill had dropped to a level that didn't give me heart palpitations, too. But, it needs to be done and now is the time to do it. He's an old man but still relatively healthy apart from the teeth issues, so better to get them extracted now than wait until he has more health issues, plus, you can tell they're bothering him. He's eating but stops after a few bites so he's obviously in pain. But still, as much as I tell myself he needs this op and it's a simple one, after losing Freesia and Tinker within the last year, I'll be no good on Thursday.
The weather has been gorgeous here so I've been in the garden a lot. I've bought more bedding plants so all the pots are full and every spare space is filled with tomato plants. I also bought some reduced price runner beans plants from a garden centre, they were in a bad way, really floppy and neglected, but seem to be coming back nicely. I'm pleased with the garden right now, it's so green and full of flowers and my rocking chair is so comfy to sit and read in. This afternoon I'm going to put up some more wall baskets and fill them with the remaining bedding plants and then no doubt sit drinking iced coffee while reading my book.
In terms of TV watching, I have two eps of the latest season of Agents of Shield to watch and the final ever two episodes of Criminal Minds. It's strange to think that show is over, it did lose something, especially after Morgan left and I really dislike a plot point they introduced at the end of last season/beginning of this one. But I've been watching it from the very beginning and thought it would trundle on for a few more seasons yet. 911 has just restarted too, so I'm back enjoying the Buck/Eddie bromance.
