    We've had a lovely afternoon at my mum's 65th birthday afternoon tea. Lots of family there which was nice. 

    We came home and I cooked enchiladas for tea, one each was enough. I've still got some wine and chocolates from my birthday last week, so it's not been the healthiest food day! 

    Now just chilling out with the pups and a bit of diary reading. I'll continue with my book as well tonight, to help me sleep. 

    Here's the cross-stitch card that I made for my mum, she is a big lover of sloths!
