    I felt the same way about meeting a friend for breakfast but it was lovely in the end, it’s just the getting out the door sometimes for me.
    I have come to the conclusion that I am becoming more & more of a home body. 
    Thee and me both … 🤷‍♀️😉

    I’m glad you had a good time 😊

    How are you feeling in yourself at the moment? Are you over those bad lurgies you had?

    Then Tuesday my mum is coming & staying until Thursday.  So just need to get to Thursday. 

    One big mistake I made today was to not put the heating on before I went out. Of course it was Baltic when I came home. Not worth it to save a couple of quid. 

    I have warned the girls I am seeing tomorrow night that I am very stiff & sore.

    Hope you feel better soon and the thumb isn’t too troublesome. 
    I’m ready for some time at home. I seem to have been chasing my tail and either been very busy or out.
