Still haven't received mine yet. Got an email on 7th saying they were on there way, but it had a note on saying that Royal Mail are under pressure and a small amount of parcels are taking up to 10 working days. Hope they arrive soon.I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy7 -
My burner is quite small, there was a bigger version but I only wanted a small one. The melts will last forever at this rate, only used 3 in 2 weeks and I use it every day for a couple of hours. Not complaining though.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Morning 😎
Have been up to Aldi today so 7k steps done. It's a beautiful day here, quite warm in the sun. Will take the dog to the park lunchtime and after work. Mr SA takes her in the morning so she does quite well at 3 trips to the park a day.
Not a lot else planned for today other than work and maybe a yoga or pilates session.
Have a terrific Thursday x

Morning, happy Friday ✨
Another week flown by. Have been out for my walk this morning just a walk round the block so 5k steps done. Was 1k steps short of my 15k target yesterday, ran out of time.
Today's to do list: work, walk the dog, treadmill run after work, cleaning and a bit more Spanish learning. Today should be NSD 5 of October. Nothing planned for the weekend other than get the carpet shampooer out - I know how to live 🤣 Won't even be able to have a coffee with my neighbour in the local café now, although technically I suppose I could sit at a table next to her and shout across. Isn't it daft.
Have a fabulous Friday x

You could take a flask across to the park and chat with your neighbour there . Absolute madness but those are the rules I guess .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.9

SA - We’ve been to the local pub/restaurant here and they’ve managed to place their tables in such a way that you can still keep to the rules on distancing etc and have a conversation with the people at the adjacent table without shouting. They also take all other measures very seriously so you might be able to meet your neighbour. Depends on the premises, I suppose.
I understand why we’re having to have all these rules and restrictions but, I agree, there do seem to be an awful lot of situations where they don’t seem to make total sense.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.9 -
