Happy Sunday 😎
I’ve been up for over a hour, I was wide awake so decided to get up and read my book. Reading Do Not Disturb by Claire Douglas it’s really good, can’t put it down. Lots of chilling twists.Weather looks to be nice again today so will get some more gardening done. Did a fair bit yesterday. I finally mopped the floors 😆
Today should be NSD 5/15. Should get another one in the bag tomorrow then every day will be a spending day until next Sunday unfortunately. Tuesday is the dentist so will have to pay the lab fees for the crown, Wednesday is the trip into town with Mr SA, Thursday I’m in the office and I need to buy some coffee bags (ones only Mr S sells) Friday is the hairdressers and Saturday is always a small spends day. Will have to do a fair bit of cramming in the last 2 weeks of October to hit my target of 15.Need to sort out something for tonight’s dinner.Have a good one.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Nearly finished my book, I love it when a book keeps throwing out curveballs you didn’t expect.Did loads of tidying up in the garden. Planted what seemed like 1000 bulbs. Also planted some sweet pea seeds in the greenhouse.My road has been like a car park today. There was a football match on the park across the road plus the church next door was busy. Could hear the footballers shouting from my garden. We took the dog over and Mr SA enjoyed watching some of the match. At least the dog didn’t 💩 on the pitch like she did one week, so embarrassing, cue me running on with a poop bag 🙈
Thank goodness I’m WFH tomorrow. Told them Mondays in the office are a no go as I have to do the work figures first thing and need peace and quiet to concentrate. I also need to talk to myself while I’m doing them 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -
Cats are so silly, look where mine is, I’ve never seen her sit there before 🤣 She’s on the stool under my dressing table. The dog is on the bed so she might be sulking because she wants to sit there 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)9

Knowing cats, @Sun_Addict, I'd say that's a sulk over the bed!
