The heat continues, the local schools have broken up and the summer holidays have started in earnest.

Pin for later

Two of the young adults have disappeared to Europe this week – no, not together, they  haven’t reached that stage of sibling love yet!!  The politics student is in Spain at a music festival (think I mentioned the lack of preplanning before) and the lovely girl left for the Greek island of Cephalonia on Saturday.  Between us we managed to get the new bikini, shoes and floaty trousers into a carry on along with various lotions and potions, not forgetting her sketchbook and pencils.  Unlike her brothers who tend to only contact mum and dad when they are suddenly in need, she does keep in touch – even if it is to make us jealous with stunning photos!

Hubby has chosen the hottest day of the year to assemble a pair of his hand built back horn speakers outside (madness) and our old dog is completely flaked out, panting and awaiting his hair cut later this week.  Meanwhile yours truly has kept out of the sun with water and salt my best friends to keep POTS at bay…..but this has meant lots of reading, both books and blogs.  One of the posts below explains POTS and some great tips for the summer, I found a recipe for GF blueberry coffee cake, a series of Angel cards and a lovely start for the week with Alyssa’s Motivational Monday post.

 

So sit back, put your feet up and enjoy some fab posts!
