    Brilliant news about the flooring, and glad the sound bath was good too.

    I had lunch with my ever lovely DS today before he moves at the weekend. 
    Had a milk shake & a lovely ice cream cookie. It was blueberry and Oreo ice cream sandwiched between two cookies. Was lovely. Not SW friendly though.

    Sorry about your friend's Dad. Always a shock.

    Good that the sound bath was enjoyable. I feel for you on DS - as you know I'm in a similar boat. Just have to wish them well and hope they visit.

    So a new chapter begins. As I said to DS I am so proud of him for following his dreams.
