    I like Beck’s Blue even though I don’t usually drink beer 😆 It feels like you’re having a proper drink but alcohol free. 

    Sounds like you’ve had a blast. 
    It was great. Met some really nice people who we are planning to meet up with again.

    I was drinking Thornbridge Zero Five. It tasted like a proper pale ale. Going to get some for taking away with us I think.

    The dog has got his fish fix in this morning.

    It was very nice. Morrisons sell it apparently.

    £393 sent to the motorhome loan this morning.

    Back at work again. A full week this week. Makes up for it that it is a short week for us next week though.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. We had toast for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is a BBQ to use up some stuff that didn't get eaten over the weekend.

    No jobs to do tonight. We are going to have a chilled out one. Will probably be an early night again tonight to have another catch up sleep!!

    We found him at the garden centre a few weeks ago but decided to go home and see if we could find him cheaper anywhere else or online.

    Turns out the cheapest place we could find him was the garden centre we went too in the first place so we decided to get him today.

    The other half has decided his name is Rod because he reminds him of Rod Stewart 🤣🤣🤣
    But can he sing?

    Another sunny start to the day. Although it seems that the sunny weather has brought out the wasps. Looks like we have a wasps nest in the hedge in our front garden. Will leave them be unless they become a nuisance.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is quiche with chips and vegetables.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • weekly shop

    I hate wasps, they seem to enjoy stinging me. We have to watch the dog with them as she tries to eat them!
