    Forgot to say, passing the courts next to where I work this morning, noticed lots of press waiting outside with film cameras.  Looks like it might’ve been a high profile case. Quite a few spectators too, I was tempted to hang around to be nosy but would probably have been none the wiser.

    I seem to attract unusual characters on the bus too ... although I was lucky enough to sit next to the Queen Mothers's long lost sister on a bus once 🤣.  I quickly realised why it was the only empty seat on the bus - the royal relative was a little whiffy

    Happy Saturday 🥂

    Have been up a while reading my book with a coffee. This is the best part of the day for me, nice and peaceful until Mr SA gets up, bliss. 

    It’s going to be a busy day. I have ClubFit in an hour, then I need to go to the big Mr T. After lunch we’re going to a local big park with a garden centre as they’re having a Christmas fayre. DS and the GKs are meeting us there as far as I know. It will be a spendy one as I usually treat everyone to a drink in the cafe and it’s not exactly cheap. The dog loves going to things like this, she’s going to put her Christmas jumper on 😆 I hope Mr SA doesn’t embarrass me by knocking over displays.

    When Mr SA crashed his scooter he did damage it after all and it’s listing slightly to the right so it’s booked in for yet another repair next week. 

    Tonight’s dinner is beetroot burger, wedges and salad. Prosecco is chilling in the fridge already.

    Oh and it’s 6 years ago today since Mr SA ran me over on his scooter and trashed my ankle 😩

    Oh good grief to Mr SAs scooter. It must be so frustrating for you. Enjoy the Christmas Fayre and stay safe - no repeats of accidents to you and get Mr SA to stay well clear of the displays. I know, an impossible task because he will want to see things up close. Good luck.

    I'm working today but the thought of your dog in her Christmas jumper has cheered me up no end 😊
