I was at the boys house as 3dogs took me. We went to the new cinema in Southampton. We saw The Fallen. A bit gothicy. It was much better than Lala land and 3dogs got the tickets for free.
Today I have to do some work. I am cheered up now as I spent yesterday with my friends. It is so cold here. I have put the heating on.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

I hope you chilled. It is beautiful today. I might roast some chicken or I could make a curry which sounds better.
I have washed bedsheets and towels and am just waiting for them to dry. Kitchen is tidy. Just about to vacuum. It is lovely outside. Just like summer. I might iron out there this afternoon.
