    I'm going fishing for tuna this morning. I think I'll be too late but I have an itch that needs scratching:)

    But first a cake to bake:D

    Thank goodness for the extra hour:)

    Morning all :)

    Had planned to hit S hard yesterday, but after having a routine mammogram on Tuesday I got the dreaded letter yesterday morning inviting me for a follow up assessment appointment on November 9th. It's arrived far too quickly for my liking :( Didn't really have the heart for shopping after that. Will try harder today.

    Shocked and saddened by the news from Leicester City :(
