    Morning happy Sunday.

    How much do I hate the clocks going back/forward. Not an extra hour in bed for me, try telling the cats the clocks have gone back. Even Mr SA is up and he never gets up this early. It’s going to be a long day 😬

    That aside, the weather looks dry so will attempt to empty the laundry basket. I also need to give the house a good clean as yesterday whizzed by leaving no time to do much in that front.

    Jobs for today:
    Cleaning/tidying 
    Washing/ironing 
    Spanish lessons
    Meal plan for next week
    Make Halloween bags for tomorrow 

    Exercise will be dog walking and a FitSteps class. Not doing the live one this morning as I don’t want to go on camera so will purchase an on demand session. She’s putting on 4 classes a week now and some people are doing all 4. 

    I’m hoping to get all my jobs done by early afternoon so I can watch the original (and best IMO) Hocus Pocus 🧙 I’ve been saving it for today 🎃 

    On the money front it will only be a NSD if I decide not to buy the FitSteps class, it’s £2.50 so won’t exactly be a spendy day if I do. Payday tomorrow 💰 

    Tonight’s dinner is sticky miso glazed salmon with stir fried veg.

    I dont get a lie in either.Mr H was trying to wake me at his usual time of 6.30 (5.30). I managed to hold him off for about 20 mins but that was his limit.

    Got all my jobs done apart from ironing as the washing hasn’t dried due to a heavy downpour at lunchtime. Also planted the sweet pea seeds in the greenhouse. Harvested yet more aubergines, peppers and tomatoes. Made a roast aubergine, tomato and basil soup for work lunches from home grown produce, it’s delicious.  

    I found a Halloween dance class on You Tube which I really enjoyed so ended up NSD 9 of October. After that watched the original Hocus Pocus, the ending still brings a tear to my eye despite most of the film being hilarious. Now time for a bath and face pack before cooking the dinner. It’s all go 😆

    Where did you find the original Hocus Pocus. I’ve never watched it. I know the 2nd one is on Disney but I’d like to see the first on before I watch it.

    It’s on Disney plus. I’ve got a 3 months free trial courtesy of Tesco Mobile. It used to be on mainstream TV until Disney clawed it back. The original version is brilliant, could watch it every year and not get tired of it. The new version is ok but not a patch on the original.

    I was also going to ask about Hocus Pocus.  Might try and find it and watch it tomorrow evening.
    the pub looked good - they'd gone to a lot of trouble.
