    It sounds like a productive day, and a lovely walk. I'm within reach of the town centre and the countryside too: it really suits me.

    I hope the shoulder eases overnight and you're all right for work tomorrow.

    That app sounds really interesting, could you keep us updated on how it works. I might think of investing in it if it works.

    You are having some productive days. I can sympathise with the tired child. my little one was tired yesterday and did I know about it. Just whinging over nothing, being clingy- totally clingy, and not really being herself. At one point I put her on the sofa to relax and hoped she would have an hour just to get her back to normal!

    Have a good day today. x

    Have just found and subscribed to your diary OBL :) I'm not far from Derby - 16 miles. Sounds like you're in a good area now for the best of everything, town, countryside and beaches :)
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Been catching up again as not posted much lately. Sounds like you are doing ok. Does sound nice where you live. I would love to be closer to the coast...we are about 2 1/2 - 3 hr drive away from nearest sea. We do have a canal we can walk along which is about 15 min drive away. And we could get to Foxton Locks which is a bit further. I do miss the coast as I was brought up near Portsmouth, but been near Leicester for the last 28 years....can't believe its that long.

    The pain app sounds like its teaching you a similar thing to the Law of Attraction philosophy. Positive thinking is the way forward. :) Hope you find it works for you.

    I would like to live in the town where my nearest beach is but it's would be too difficult to get to work,so I make do with being a short hop away,I do t tend to go down there in the summer much because we can't take the dog and it's packed but in the spring autumn and winter. I try to get down there as much as I can, the last couple of years have been a bit hit and miss with beach visits but I'm trying to make it more of a habit, I love walking along the beach or paddling in the sea

    Can't believe it's Saturday again:j
    I worked yesterday and it was quite a pleasant day,no stress or drama for a change, the day was only spoiled by my shoulder throbbing all day and having pins and needles in my arm and hand
    I was going to do some more to the bathroom today but my shoulder is still throbbing away,it wasn't too bad when I got up but the dog wrenched my arm while I was out walking her so now it's back to square one again,I've taken some brufen and that seems to be working at the moment

    I'm being a home bird today so I'm tidying the house and doing laundry,the laundry seems never ending you wouldnt think there was only two of us living in this house,it's really cold here today but lovely and windy so the perfect day to get the washing on the line

    The chickens are out pootling in the garden so I can go and poo pick their house in a bit,the dogs been for a walk and the cat is fed and asleep on DDs bed,everyone is happy:rotfl:

    Myself and both DDs are going out for meal tonight,it's for DDs birthday because even though her birthday was in March and we went out for lunch her sister was unable to come so we decided to go out later when we were all free,tonight is the first night that we are all free and able to be in the same place at the same time, I am quite tired though so not really looking forward to it and I'm also being tight as I don't want to spend the money:rotfl:

    This month is a bit spendy actually because we are also meant to be going to the zoo on Tuesday with DGS,DD who lives with me wants to take him out so that's where we are going,I'm hoping the weather is going to warm up a little bit by then:D

    I was on FB earlier and noticed a post my sister had shared,it seems we are getting our very own zero waste food shop,it's in the same area where my sister used to have a shop,the street is full of indie shops and it's lovely to have a look round,my favourite craft shop is there as well,I'm hoping I will be able to use the new shop but it will probably be beyond my price range sadly
