    SA - I have many questions! 

    1. Would Alexa get podcasts? 

    2. Should I get Mum a halogen oven?? 

    XX
    I’m sure you can ask Alexa to play podcasts. I’ve never had a halogen oven but if you think it would make your mum’s life easier and she’ll be able to use it I’d say go ahead. I love my kitchen gadgets and have 3 Ninjas that I use everyday.

    Scooters are just way way much more hassle than they are worth.

    Raining here! 
    Have a lovely Friday off. I have Monday, so next week will be a confused mess of ‘what day is it?’ once I’m back in work from Tuesday onwards 😁
    The virtual wine tasting sounds like so much fun. 3 open at once would be a challenge!

    No rain forecast here today but I wouldn't rule it out. The sky looks quite dark.

    Going to get the grass cut while I have the chance and it is dry enough.

    I opened just the red wine. I was late joining the event as Mr SA had made a right mess in the bathroom. At least he made it there this time but oh the mess ☹️ Also finished work later than planned as people started asking me questions via email just as I was about to log off so was running late anyway. 

    The dog is being a little bu$$er tonight, she’s buried a chew stick in the garden and is guarding it from the cat. Every time the cat gets within a foot of it she chases her off 😩

    Anyway the red wine is lovely and didn’t realise it retails at £15 a bottle usually 😱 I got all 3 for £25 including 2 wine glasses and the event. The others are a white and a Prosecco. My favourite reds are Campo Viejo and Casillero del Diablo which are less than half that price and just as nice to be honest. 

    I’m shattered tonight so it won’t be a late one. Having said that I’m rarely awake beyond 10pm so no change there 😆
