The wind has picked up, but the sun is also out.
Hope your back eases soon, maybe snuggle with a hot water bottle and puppy dog.

I have had problems with my back since my 20’s so I’ve learned to live with it over the years. Sitting in any chair even my ergonomic one now arrived makes it worse & I can’t stand for long either. I can walk for about an hour without pain. Have been laid down since got back from the pond so it has eased a bit. Am looking forward to a kebab tonight0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy3 -

Morning! You forgot to add feet up as one of tasks, as that's a fair bit of physical tidying SYA.
Have a great long weekend 😊Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
