Morning all..
Hugs, Loves and spoons please collect as required as I haven't caught up with the fred and tbh know I can't really as that would just be distracting myself from the art of flying.
Work the last two days has gone well. Felt my stress levels rising at one point and got annoyed with myself as I got confused about some new paperwork. Then told myself off and reminded myself I have been off for 10 months so I should be gentle and was ok.
Car is in the garage this morning so cheap repair vibes please.. it has developed a squeek and sounds awful in traffic queues etc so is in for some tlc.
Chimney sweep is coming at er I think about 2ish. Anyway need to clear off the mantle piece and empty all the fire out for him. I also have lots of flying to do...
