Things can only get better

Had a lovely surprise today, my work team have bought me a birthday present, someone is bringing it today - a gin set 😍 Also got a virtual card. This has made Mr SA stressed because he hasn't got me anything. I really don't want him going to the local shops and picking something up just for the sake of it, there's not a lot of choice there, I'd rather wait and to be honest there's nothing I particularly want at the moment.

We are having a rainy / sunny day here,one minute the sky is blue then it goes black and pours down, I've just washed DDs bedding but have hung it over the stairs to dry, luckily I have a long straight banister on the landing 😊
Good news that that lads mum is now out of hospital, hopefully his dad will recover

We have an unplanned sunny afternoon yesterday too which was very welcome. I’m hoping for similar today 🤞it’s not stopped raining all morning.
Good news about the PIp but not so good that his health isn’t getting any better. 

Happy birthday for when it arrives. Your birthday present from work sounds just up your street - enjoy. It will be nice for you to see someone from work - will you be able to spend time together or is it just a drop off.
Fingers still crossed for your holiday - a meal out sounds nice but not in the same league as a holiday......your time will come 🤞

How lovely about the gin set

Why not tell Mr SA that the best present he could give you is a 50% reduction in the amount of bread he eats, he gets healthier, you have less problems to clear up after, and he gets praise if he manages to do it!

Great thinking SusieT 👍 50% reduction in beer would better though. 

Mr SA has started pestering about things like he needs a battery for a watch he hasn’t worn in years and I just know he’s hankering after going in town.

The gin set was fabulous- 8 small bottles of craft gin, all really unusual ones like Cornish gin for instance, some mixers and a glass. Wasn’t expecting this at all. Not tried one yet.

The new printer has arrived so will set up tomorrow. Looks pretty straightforward all done via an app. 

Looking more positive with Greece, still low infection rate and looking good for Saturday fingers crossed 🤞

No work until 1 September 🥂🎉

Treat yourself to one (or two) of those lovely gins SA, cos you're worth it!  
Keeping my fingers crossed for Greece... it will do you the world of good. X

Really hope you have had a gin XXX

Brilliant list Beanie 😁 To be honest he takes the dog out a few times a day so can’t complain on that front. He’s a very difficult person to reason with and only sees his own point of view, everyone else’s doesn’t count.

The local women’s group has resurfaced and engineered a meet up for next week so if I don’t get away I will be going.
