    I've just caught up with your diary beanie and I'm so sorry to read what a rotten November you've been having. :(

    Here's to a happier more positive December for you.

    Coffee out with friend sounds good. Hope you’ve had sunshine like us today - I’d forgotten what a blue sky was. But true to form it’s raining again now. Hope you’re ok :beer:

    Good to read you're still plodding on :) Coffee with friends is always good for the spirits. Just thinking about foodbank things and wondering if it's a busier time than usual with Christmas coming up or if it's just the same? xx

    I wondered if it was that cafe...it was amazing.
    I’ve been thinking of you and the food bank - we’ve been collecting at SW all through November - there’s been a great big box after every session and there are 8 sessions a week so hopefully there’ll be a fair bit to take. I thought about what you said about using fuel to heat it so chose ready made tinned meals for my contributions - I wouldn’t have thought of that but for you.
