    A beautiful morning and what looks set to be a lovely couple of days, warm and sunny.....:wahoo.

    Summers on its way........I'm losing weight, have had my hair cut and feeling fab. I have been living quietly because of a mini fibro flare up but feeling much better thanks to plenty of rest and good quality sleep.

    This morning I am going to have A "salon at home" pampering and beautifying session then I shall just go out and enjoy the sunshine. Lunch al fresco and a gentle walk.

    Isn't life grand.....:D

    I had my hair cut and had a good two inches off and it looks a lot healthier. :cool:

    I did a hair treatment before the hairdresser came over and then went for a long walk afterwards. It's really Springlike now, there are some gorgeous flowers on the trees.:)

    The hair cut was very budget friendly as she charges us £20 for both of us.:money:

    Hello all you champagn-ers Champagne weather here for the last few days. I have taken over an allotment, which is going to need some monetary and physical investment to become productive.

    I have previously only grown potatoes and bags, and beans or tomatoes in the borders. Still it is a new venture. a chance to exercise and lose weight, and to bond with DS1 who is interested in helping and benefiting from the fresh veg. I have started digging over the weedy areas and the courgettes on the window sill are looking healthy.

    Happy days!

    I'm absolutely devastated, we lost Zeus today :(
    He was sofa vaulting this morning, then played out most of the day, came in ate his tea, n a while later started fitting.
    The vet said She's never seen a fit last so long, in such a young dog, n that He might have been brain damaged had he lived😭
    Me n Bonnie, are lost without him already😭
