Afternoon Tea, Heat Stroke & Giving Away my Apple Watch

Quite a Productive Day, All in All

Yesterday was an interesting day! Unfortunately, I can't share the most interesting part because of an NDA, which sucks, but it was great to be involved all the same.

The first thing I can share is that we had an amazing Afternoon Tea for two from Milner’s Home Made Bakery. We spent a lovely few hours at home eating like we were posh. I did trade the tea for some cordial, as the heat had gotten to me earlier—but more on that in a bit. The sandwiches were lovely, the cakes were brilliant (and I don’t even like cake!), and we had some homemade sausage rolls and pork pies that I’m tempted to buy daily they were that good.

Passing the Torch

As I’m such a nice bloke—there’s no need to laugh!—I parted with my Apple Watch and gave it to Abi. Ever since I got it, she’s insisted she didn’t want one and couldn’t see the point, but I have a feeling that’s about to change. She’s been wanting to track her steps and other health metrics but keeps forgetting her phone when doing small jobs around the house.

I’ve been looking to upgrade for a while now, as the watch I gave Abi is one of the original models that can’t be updated anymore. I haven’t been wearing it much during lockdown anyway, so I thought I’d let her have mine and get myself a new one once I start work (I swear Vodafone is going to love billing me each month!). It’s been nice watching her play with it this morning, though I am wondering how I’ll cope when I go back to work; I found it really handy to have tasks on my wrist.

A Hot Mess

It wasn’t all good news, though. I had to run an errand yesterday, and due to the heat, I ended up passing out on the sofa the moment I got back (well, after stuffing my face with cake… you know, to keep me going). I was only walking from our place to the outskirts of the town center and back, but I ended up with a massive headache and was so tired I could barely stand. I still don’t feel like I’ve fully rehydrated, but I am feeling much better this morning.

I’m off to the B&Q website now to find the bits I missed to complete the bathroom floor. Have you suffered from the sun already this summer, or what have you been up to now that we're out of lockdown? Let me know in the comments below!
