It’s been lovely and sunny most of the day and have had two trips to the park with the dog. Very busy both times though and lots of people strolling without dogs who obviously hadn’t been there before by the way they were looking around and pointing. Going for a treadmill run shortly, followed by a long soak in the bath then will tackle this chicken in the Ninja Foodi. I’m having chestnut roast with roast veg made in the Ninja oven.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

I suppose there is nothing else for people to do at the minute.7 -
Your white trainers comment always makes me smile. They used to be a pet hate of Mr SA’s, he would always spot people in them at the airport going on holiday. If he ever had new trainers for holiday he’d wear them on building sites first to scuff them up a bit 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

The white trainer brigade round here also often have badly behaved dogs where they either haven't trained and socialised their dogs.6

White trainers FML that brings back some memories, made me laugh at least. When we used to go on holiday as kids my mum always used to point out families at the airport all with their brand new white trainers 100% they’d be flying to Malaga lol.8
