    Happy Friday, another week flown by!

    Today will be NSD 1/15 for July. Have been for my run, went a bit further today, have done 4 miles.

    DD has paid her board so that has gone into the holiday pot. I now have enough saved in there to pay for a holiday and spending money should the current restrictions be removed. It would be lovely to go to Lanzarote September/October time if we can't get to Zante in August. I'm prepared to wait until next year though if there's still faffing about with covid tests involved.

    I'm going to finish work early today to finish off painting the bedroom cupboard. I've got loads of flexi hours to use up. Should be a fairly quiet day work wise, just got a few bits to finish.

    Today's cleaning task is the dining room, it needs a good tidy up more than anything. Making a stir fry for my dinner tonight.

    TGI Friday 🎉

    I love the surprise seedlings. 

    Does Mr SA 'own' these things or deny all knowledge? 

    Good job you are in charge overall even though I'm sure you wish you didn't need to be quite so much.
