    Concur with SA , my son works for govt dept and they don't use zoom, but as a family we have used it. Have you got your mop Beanie? How are you coping without the physio ? How is the food bank doing ? I have been dropping of food parcels this week via work for older people , the operation is huge . All recipients have been very grateful. 
    Take care Beanie . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    Thanks sunshine. 
    ‘‘Tis hard without the physio & the accapuncture. 
    The foodbank is so busy & we are slowly getting used to a whole new way of working.  We are struggling with getting certain things. People have been so generous with food money & time. 
    I am a tad emotional today 🤷‍♀️

    I didn't pay that much for mine, it was about £20 from B&M.  Mind you I thought that was expensive 🤣 Don't regret it now though.

    You've reminded me I need to steam mop today, the floors need a deep clean what with Mr SA and the dog in and out of the garden all day.

    It’s an emotional time Beanie and you’re so busy with the food bank and without the physio which helps you so much. Give those fur babies an extra cuddle and settle down on your new sofa.
