Again I overslept. Again someone coming this morning.I must take myself in hand but no time yet.

I have completely overslept this morning and people coming. Oh dear!

I finally read the eye prescription from the opticians and wondered if my double vision was due to the incorrect prism strength in my new glasses. I decided to phone them today. So worried about it that I didn’t sleep a wink!

I have been watching the volunteers clearing the beach at Brighton from rubbish. I don’t understand how people can leave litter behind them when they leave somewhere like the seaside. They could, at least, put it in a bin.

As usual for a Sunday I woke up late. Well, I am still not awake. My cat Lily has thrown up on the bedroom carpet – well, regurgitated cat food. I will clean it up in a minute.

I had a lift both ways into the City Centre and walked the short walk to pick up my new glasses. It was very hot and I was wearing a mask and I couldn’t breathe. I was in a bad way and nearly embarrassed myself when I was struggling to control my bladder. It is a very long time since I was in that position and I must think seriously about what to do next time.

Seeing all the other European leaders meeting in Brussels and we can’t join in. I curse those who led the people into voting to leave.

I overslept this morning and only just saw the end of an item on the BBC about the amphitheatre in Porthcurno, Cornwall. I went just the once – a long time ago – but it holds a special place in my memory – well worth a visit.

What has happened to our weather this week – it is supposed to be hot and dry all week. It has been chilly and it has rained most days. Ugh!

Just watching the item on ‘Bears around the house ‘ which is on BBC 2 tonight. The cute little cub is wonderful and I will try to watch it.
