Lazy Saturday (and Unicorn Slippers)

The morning started quite warm and hazy. Hubby and I did go for a walk, but there were a lot of mosquitoes around so it wasn't very pleasant. We went back to a place we hadn't walked at for a while and the last time I was there one of the trails was severely flooded. I was curious to see whether the flooding down in the valley part of the trail had dried up with the warmth of summer. It had dried up - somewhat - but it was still very damp and really smelly! There were lots of small dead fish in the mud. They had obviously ended up there from the lake overflow (quite a way away) and had nowhere to go once things started drying up! While at the top of the hill had seen a heron and I was wondering what it was doing down there in the mud - once I saw the fish I knew why it was there!

Skyped Mum. So nice to chat. Neither one of us has been doing much of anything this week, but it was good to have a natter. I really need to get going on some crafty projects. My list taking needs to start again. The freezer is full and it's time to start cooking what we have and making a meal list helps with that.

On the way home from our walk we stopped in a shop to pick up a few pieces and these fell into my shopping trolley. They made me laugh and I couldn't resist (they were fairly cheap too and I needed new slippers).


Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend!

  4. cute slippers. Hey, we have a thing called Blastomycosis here in midwest, I don't know if you are familiar with it. It comes from wet, molding ground...when you said you were walking around in some, I wanted to tell you to be careful. We had a neighbor and several dogs in our area, including one of ours die from it. Spores get into your lungs. I'm sure you didn't, but I don't know if you had that in the UK....just a heads up.

    1. Oh thanks for that! I had to look it up. I haven't ever heard of it. I will be extra careful.
