Summer Cold!

Right in the midst of the most glorious weather we have ever had in the UK, I had to go and get a cold - thankfully not too severe, but enough to make me feel pretty tired and out of sorts.
This week I was on a course at work, and instead of driving, I decided to walk in the hot weather. So from Monday to Thursday I walked about 3 miles every morning, did a full day of course work and then walked 3 miles back. By Thursday the cold was kicking in - not the best day to have an assessment, but I passed anyway. Felt out of sorts on Friday back at work, and the cold has now come 'out' properly with streaming nose and sneezing.
I am hoping I feel a bit more 'up for it' next week as I have a week to prepare everything at work prior to my summer vacation, plus I need to complete an assignment to go with the coursework.
The weather has cooled off slightly now with a lovely cool breeze for the BBQ we had last night, cool enough to sleep at night thankfully. A cooler start to the day, but the paddling pool in the back garden is back in use this afternoon!

Drawer slides

I have some time off work soon and hope to be able to resume work on the house. Decorating the hallway is taking an age because the coving has taken two coats of undercoat and will require a third before I can apply the topcoat. I don't have much time to get my overalls dirty at home at the weekends and am just too tired or busy in the week. The plan to fit drawer slides in the relatively recently decorated office (spare room) will have to wait, and there are plenty of jobs that now need doing in the garden too!
