    Today I am grateful for getting what I needed in the supermarket, for a positive swarm (?) of sunflowers growing, for podcasts to sit and relax with, for doing my workout, for dd playing out (round here, it's the kids who are outside playing, plus a couple of dog owners who sit on the small green chatting at a distance)

    Morning all
    I've had a lovely couple of days without sitting at my computer - enjoying time in the sun and with the kids, plus yesterday I saw bestie for the first time in 10 weeks - at a safe social distance outdoors. It was very good for the soul and much needed after a few days of feeling in a bit of a rut.
    I have lots of gratitudes… the exam board I work for, the gorgeous weather, C00plands the baker delivering the most amazing food package and saving me a trip to the supermarket, dd deciding she likes a late evening walk with her mam, getting crochet done, and having the choice of whether or not to send ds back to school tomorrow.

    Thank you for providing a much needed May distraction during lockdown Apple. Much appreciated. 
    Came in under budget and with well over 20 NSDs.  So definitely a win for me, even if I am b-o-r-e-d out of my tiny mind.....
