    Glad your IT is back up and running. I don't envy you 3 hours training online, I lose the will to live after the first hour doing anything like this, it's just not the same as face to face. Happy Birthday to DGD 🎂

    I hope DD stays safe until she goes on maternity leave. Your parents have a very positive attention, well done to them :).

    I hope your IT training isn't too mind numbingly dull.

    I endured the three hours of training this morning and it was quite helpful to be fair. I had a walk in the rain for 30 mins at lunchtime. This evening I intend watching bake off and avoiding the news 😂. 
    My DGD is in the big shopping centre at the bear place spending her money , mummy says it's very busy and wishes she hadn't gone but promised DGD they would go . Rather them than me . 
    Tomorrow I have my week.y trip into work which I look forward to greatly as it's a change of scenery. Whoever thought a trip to the office would be the highlight of the week . 
    Off to make my evening meal. 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
