Phew, quieter today - except it's the weekend, so there's no surveys around 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️! C'mon guys!
Good weekend. Two runs, tried not to drink too much (although BF mixing up about 3 1/2 pints of piña colada for the two of us didn't help - he did send me home with 3 portions of leftover dinner though, so has redeemed himself 🤣), ordered some new trainers as they were the last pair in stock and there was a good reduction on, and just been researching recipes for my January new recipe (also had a browse of local "sights" earlier, but not yet decided where to go for January). Cleaning and jobs in town rolled over to next weekend though - whoops 😳!

I find jobs tend to roll over too...
As for finding local sights, just pick one. The reason being you ever know and also it sometimes just takes a push to start the thing you want to do.7 -
