Things can only get better

I’m definitely going to look for Black Friday deals on Nespresso machines. I don’t need anything fancy, I only drink black coffee. I’ve noticed even my black coffee doesn’t stay hot long with the Tassimo and as Mr SA has milk, he ends up heating his up in the microwave. 

Well my dodgy ankle isn’t my friend this week. I accidentally banged the ankle bone on a table leg, the pain that shot through was awful  and the air was blue 🤬 I have a screw in the bone which sticks out a bit so it’s easy to catch it. I did manage to do the Zumba class but it hurt when it rubbed on my trainer. 

It was unseasonably warm here today, apart from a brief downpour it’s been sunny all day so the washing was dry when I got home from work. 

And it was NSD 8 not 7. Might squeeze in another two before the end of the month.

Nespresso isn't bad for the pod type machines, Tassimo is !!!!!! awful get it swapped. If you really like your coffee get one of these - https://www.sageappliances.com/uk/en/products/espresso/bes500.html?clickid=zCw0R:1lCxyNRvbznKy3QRqXUkDV-XTc11wOz40&irgwc=1&mpname=Skimbit Ltd.&cid=8631 have one in my office and it's brilliant. So many good independent coffee roasters right here in Nottingham rather than giving Nescafe your money.

Think you've worn that ankle out with all the walking lol.

Take care of that ankle SA  xx

I will also say take care of that ankle.  But I will also say something doesn't sound right with it, so get it looked at..  We all know that if you are not well then basically the proverbial hits the fan.

I'd love to get a proper coffee machine but I need one that's easy for Mr SA to use. He struggles to understand how to use things and he's lost a lot of use in his hands so the pod machines are ideal for him.

WFH today. I don't feel too well today, I'm rarely ill so this is pretty unusual for me. I feel hot, achy, have a bit of a headache and a bit of a cough. Hopefully it won't develop into anything. My ankle is ok this morning thankfully. They did say I could have the screws removed if they caused problems although that will be a last resort as I don't fancy another op.

If I feel better later I want to go to Aldi for a few bits, although looking at the weather forecast maybe not - I don't want to get soaked like last week!

I have a live Pilates session at lunchtime but should be fine for that as it's not exactly leaping about. I'm not going to do the live FitSteps tonight as I don't fancy going on camera today but will buy an on demand session to do another day. 

Today's cleaning task is giving the kitchen a good clean.

Tonight's dinner is veggie sausage cassoulet using up some vegan cocktail sausages that have been in the freezer forever.

Get well soon @Sun_Addict you're quite right to work from home today.  Is there anything you could do to help your ankle short of another op? Love Humdinger xx

I was going to WFH today anyway, we are allowed to do 2 days from home so I usually do Tuesday and Thursdays. I don't feel too bad at the moment so hoping whatever it is will pass quickly. There's not a lot I can do about the screw apart from have it removed but I do some ankle strengthening exercises to help it otherwise. I was warned I'd have trouble with it as the break was so bad.

Feel better soon. There is certainly a lot of viruses going around at the moment. I'm just getting over mine. ITs not a nice one though.
