The cats here are beautiful and massive, someone local feeds them plus they keep mice away from the restaurants so get fed there. Certainly not malnourished by any means.
Mr SA woke me up at 5am literally crashing about in the kitchen. He was getting a glass of water and fell. Fortunately no injuries!We’ve been for a walk this morning and will shortly be going out for lunch.The builder sent me a message to say he has a free week commencing 23 May so will be getting the living room refurb done soon. Will have to lend myself the money out of savings as the Regular Saver earmarked for it doesn’t mature until June. Not a problem though.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
Went back to the 70s themed bar for lunch. Had gin of the day, raspberry and mint, and a roast veg wrap with homemade coleslaw. Mr SA had steak wrap with homemade coleslaw and chunky chips with a beer. I stole one of his chips 😆 This was the gin before I added the tonic!!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

That looks so good, but the stolen chip is tiny! Get another 😬Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
