    Oh @elbree that’s so me… ‘that would make a lovely gift…I’ll take two (one for me)’ 🤣
    it does seem quiet around here today. I took dog for a longish drive this afternoon, logged on to work to send something time sensitive I needed to get off, made food, attempted to crochet a granny square following a tutorial (that’s a nope from me, but I’ll keep trying) and that was about it! 
    Disneyland 😮😮😮 how lovely! 
    I’m going to have a mooch around the diaries now 😁
    How annoying to have to work on your day off! I can't crochet either, it's SO hard but SO pretty. I can knit but also basic stuff. 8yo gets a scarf every Christmas 😂
    Maybe I'll revisit crocheting, I love it but also like doing something fairly easy in the evenings, late evenings and learning new skills are not compatible with my old brain.
    Yes, v excited about Disneyland - a real once in a lifetime for Princess 8yo. Will hand over tickets tomorrow, it's a surprise!

  • Happy Tuesday and hope you enjoy your lunch :)
    Nice sunny day here but i hope not to consume any unnecessary calories which means not opening the leftover box of Xmas chocs or big triangle bar of deliciousness  :'(
