Probably a good idea to stay where you are with your work set up....who knows what Mr SA would get up to if you were out of the way 🙀mind you he must behave when you're at the office I suppose.

Happy Tuesday
Have been out for a walk this morning down to the big Mr T. Bought myself a sweatshirt, I'm a bit short of long sleeved tops although I do need to start thinking about getting my autumn/winter clothes back out and see what I've got. Done almost 7k steps to start off the day. Dog walking at lunchtime and a FitOn class after work and that's my exercise sorted for the day.
Mr M delivery coming soon, sending all but 1 of the subs back. Will be going to Lidl later in the week so can pick up the missing items there.
Today's cleaning is the bathroom. Making a fish pie with cauliflower mash for tonight's dinner using up bits from the fridge/freezer. Mr SA is having slow cooker chicken stew.
Not a lot else happening.

Happy Wednesday
Have been up since 5.30 the dog woke me up growling at the cat. Had to let both of them out so thought I might as well stay up.
No walk or run this morning as I'm taking the dog to the vets for her booster vaccinations this afternoon and it's an hour's walk each way. I hate taking the dog to the vets, she gets stressed and has to wear a muzzle. Then Mr SA insists on coming because he knows there's a Costa in the area. I don't know why he gets so excited about that particular Costa because we've got one just up the road from us and he rarely goes there. So I'll have to contend with the dog getting stressed and Mr SA desperately seeking coffee. I shall cash in on him being there and have a look round the shops in the retail park, he can sit outside with the dog and his precious coffee.
I'm finishing work at lunchtime today, will have to leave the house at 1pm to get to the vets for 2pm.
Determined to get around to booking the holidays today. There are rumblings of changes to travel requirements tomorrow and prices might start to go up. A job for when I get back from the vets I think.
Anyway I think that will be enough excitement for today.

Morning, oh I bet you would love a full day to yourself no pets or husband to bother you lol.You certainly get a lot of walking done, not driving definitely has excellent health benefits for you.Hopefully you’ll get a holiday booked give you something to look forward to for next year. I had a look at holidays and they’re more expensive but not as much as I was expected them to be.Enjoy your day.5
