It's Did You Know Monday..................and it is a coldish Monday.

Good morning Monday, it is a somewhat cold dry morning but have to say it feels like it may rain but we will see. Yesterday was the hottest July day in recorded history, it was 27°c well it was in Sydney but here in Newie it was warm but not that hot in my opinion.

My weekend was pretty good had Kathy-Lee and Summer as well as Jessica and Leo here on Saturday for lunch, I did a chicken and bacon pasta bake with garlic bread and Kathy hung my washing on the line for me and also picked up my groceries for me I do what's called click and collect where you do the shopping online but instead of having it delivered you go and pick it up from the store so no delivery fee. This is a huge help for me sine walking for any length of time is difficult for me.

Sunday saw Kathy-Lee come back and help me with some housework, she hung the sheets on the line and helped my re-make the bed with clean sheets and she also helped me clean of my dressing table and the top of my chest of drawers and dust everything. So it is looking much better and nice and clean.

Well being Monday means it is Did You Know Monday....................so........did you know...........

221B Baker Street is one of London's most famous addresses, as it was the home of Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr Watson. Every year hundreds of tourists to London still try and find it but it doesn't exist.

  3. So funny you wrote that fact, I'm in the middle of reading a book and one of the characters has tried to re-create Holmes's Baker Street home in his own London apartment....

    27 not that warm?!? It's been that hot here for the last few weeks and I'm considering moving to Svalbard. ....aren't you guys supposed to be having winter?

    Send Kathy Lee over here please.

    1. Yes it is the middle of winter, it was 27 in Sydney I live in Newcastle and it was only 24 or 25 here and that was Sunday today it was only 19-20°c which is more like winter here.

      Kathy-Lee is a gem and I am so proud of her and all she does
