Also, have you read 'Wakenhyrst' by Michelle Paver? My sister gave me her copy when she was having a tidy-out & I really enjoyed it. Some of your interests are similar to mine so I thought you might like this book, if you haven't already read it, of course!

F xI've read both the above and loved them; they are very different subject matter. I grew up in Suffolk (where Wakenhyrst is set) and it made me want to explore the locations when i next go there.
I enjoy your diary

I've earned lots of brownie points today 😀 DDs gaming computer broke and the repair place is in town, she is working all week so won't get up there until Saturday so I took it today for her, I had to get a taxi because it was too awkward to take it on the bus but she will pay for that, hopefully they will sort it out and she can pick it up on her way home from work at some point,of course the minute I went to step outside it chucked it down so I had to cover it with a bin bag 🙄
I had to go into town anyway to pick up my prescription and some cat food and while I was there I bought some paint for my living room and hall 🎉🎉🎉I was going to use the same colour I've already used but really liked the lighter colour that DD picked so I've bought some of that. I am off on Wednesday so planning on making a start on it then 😊
So far today I've been out with B and in town but nothing else, I've got to sort the🐓🐓but I'm having a break because my legs are quite painful today,of course I have a couple of loads of washing to do as well.
It was weird seeing people in the coffee shops and the pub in town today but nice all the same. I will be able to meet my mum for a coffee again now which will be lovely.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8946 -
