    Lovely cat.

    What's the Christmas gin called SA?

    Might have to get a bottle of that.
    Hortus Christmas gin £15.99 Lidl’s own brand. It sold out quickly last year.

    Things can and do get better. I'm sorry for your loss, not your diary I couldn't have read it had I known it was there. The loss of the life you had before and I know what it's like. My wife had a brain tumour on the left side, the operation sadly went wrong and left her disabled and with brain damage, couldn't talk or understand. I cared for her on my own for 9 years, she went into a home and in 1 year  passed way, that was 10 years ago.

    I’m so sorry about your wife, brain tumours are truly devastating.

    Morning happy Sunday.

    I really must crack on with the housework today, didn’t get much done yesterday. I have a very long to do list.

    It will be NSD 6 (I think).

    Mr SA and the dog are still asleep. The dog will need to go for a run on the park later.

    Bought an on demand FitSteps class yesterday so will do that at some stage today. I’ve got the class until the end of the month as the instructor has had an op on her leg and has to rest for a few days. So I can do this class as many times I like.

    Tonight’s dinner is a portion of nut roast from freezer stock with roast beetroot, swede and sweet potato to use up fridge stocks. I need to make a batch of soup for work lunches.

    I also need to use up the leftover Prosecco from last night, that will be a tough task 🤣
