Thanks @beanielou 😊 I am pleased with how I am keeping the pace up this time. Targeting just two rows a day seem to be enough to keep the momentum going, or if I miss a day, not too much to catch up on to be intimidating, iyswim 😊

Was nice to my boss today. He seemed a bit flat so I asked him if he was alright. Apparently he didn’t sleep well last night as ‘the cinema’ in his head wouldn’t shut up. I taught him the 4:7:8 breathing technique, had to teach him what a colon was too …! 😉 😂 (He’s German and only been in the UK a few years so sometimes these things elude him … ).NW £200 has landed! 😊
£80 had already been used for our wedding anniversary meal ❤️
£60 went to OP 🥳🎉😊👏 plus a 93p TT
£60 went into the house DIY savings pot for the bathroom works …
Harvested lettuce for lunch tomorrow and parsley for dinner this evening from the greenhouse 😊🥬
About to put my radio on and get my two rows knitted before dinner 😊

I figured he was German if he was talking about his Kopf-Kino keeping him awake. For future reference, Darm is the word for colon - unless you were talking grammar ...then he would give you a very strange look.

@Brie - she is good isn’t she 😊 I love her colours and the ways she uses them.Thanks @PennysIntoPounds and @skint_spice 😊
@f0xh0les, your German is better than mine! 😉😂
I was talking grammar! i.e. “:” 😉
It’s cold here! I put the heating on as soon as I waked in on getting home and Mr KK immediately lit the wood stove. We had curry for tea and for the first time in days I could actually feel proper blood circulation in my feet! 😳😊😂
Taken out a month long sub to nflix so I can watch series 3 of bridgey 😊 I have ended up starting at the beginning again … happy sigh … 😂 I will reduce my pocket money by £10 next pay day to cover the cost 😊
Clean sheets!! Such luxury ❤️
