    Oh my gosh, look at all your work! 👏

    Annoying about pp but nn does seem the type to get what he wants. Is it worth asking council for FOI on how that decision was come to when there where so many objections?

    I watched the meeting online so heard what they said.
    That was bloody scary my neighbour had a medical episode and another 15 mins and it would’ve been a different story. Helicopter was needed. Not sure how well I’ll sleep tonight.

    DD1 ran the half marathon yesterday, she did really well and her knees behaved. In other good news neighbour came out of hospital.

    Not sure what today’s plans are but I think it will include a dog walk.

    DD1 has returned home 😟not sure she had the best week as the weather has been truly awful.
    Wednesday we went to Plockton and then did Eileen a donan castle on the way home.
    OH has been in a strange (annoying) mood for the past couple of days. He says he’s fed up of working, which I completely understand as he’s worked since he was a teenager (a very long time ago!). I suggested he looks into dropping to part time to which he replied we can’t afford it, he does have a point but we would make it work. I could try and find some extra shifts. My issue is, he doesn’t have any hobbies and either sleeps, constantly watches the news on a loop repeating itself and eats crap. I refuse to be his project. I sometimes struggle with boredom but do pull myself out of the fug.
    Currently trying to sell the boat but goodness me that lead to another argument. Anyway hopefully out the worst of it till next time.
