A nice start to the weekend

 A few nice things to start the day off.  Firstly, I got a good night's sleep, yesterday I popped into town and bought a sleep mask and some CBD oil.  I used to use that a few years ago, it really helped me to relax and sleep, I'd stopped buying it because I was needing to use a bit more as my body got used to it, and it's quite expensive.  Well, it was worth it for the best sleep I've had in a week.  

The builder isn't here today, he does sometimes come to work next door on Saturday mornings but not today, thank goodness.  And neighbour and his brother seemingly aren't doing any work next door either, so it's a peaceful day by the looks of things, how lovely, I shall relish it.  I thought I might do a bit more in the garden, or even sit in it, however, having just been outside it's still pretty hot - not as scorching as a few days ago, but still too hot for me to be out there for more than a few minutes.

I can't remember if I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, but my wedding ring needed a small repair.  It's actually a replacement ring, not my original one - I have quite short, chubby fingers so wearing wedding, engagement and eternity rings together was uncomfortable.  Having thought about it, I decided I'd like one ring that did the job of all three, if you see what I mean.  So around a dozen years ago - actually more like 15 I think - husband got me a kind of eternity ring, it's wider at the top than underneath so is more comfortable when I bend my fingers.  It's white gold, plated with rhodium (so is very shiny), bevelled along the top half to form a sort of channel, it's set with a line of 5 tanzanites (gorgeous mauve colour) along the middle, with a row of tiny diamonds each side of the tanzanites.  I absolutely love it, it's the best thing husband has ever bought me.  I chose it, incidentally, although he likes to tell people he did 😉.  I went and collected it from the jewellers this morning, the repair has been done to a very high standard (can't even see it) and they very kindly replated the rhodium so it's exceptionally shiny again and looks brand new.  I'm so pleased, it did feel very strange not having it on my finger the past couple of weeks.

The children are back to school next week, so there'll be less tourists around.  It'll be a fair bit cooler (how lucky have families been this past week?) with some showers, but hopefully enough sunny periods to enable us to go for some beach promenade walks and cream teas in nice tea gardens, which we don't do during school holidays.

Thank you for the lovely comments, as usual, I do appreciate them.
