Thanks @Cheery_Daff and @debtfreewannabe321 😊
Had a more productive and positive day today, so hopefully, with being short of sleep as well, I will sleep like a tree tonight! 😉
Did an MSE thing for my quality engineer today. He happened to mention that he wants some houseplants (where he was living before was so dark all his plants died) so I potted up a baby spider plant that Mr KK had accidentally broken off and has been quietly rooting in a water pot for the last wee while and also cut some ends off a purple, variegated, dingly-dangly plant I have and wrapped those in wet tissue. My QE was delighted 😊

Thanks @PennysIntoPounds, I will be able to give her one, maybe two of the squares she asked for and a promissory note for the third! 😂😉
I have had THE most indulgent evening in a VERY long time …
Bung in the oven lasagne, with green beans (Mr KK moans) and a whole garlic flatbread to myself with extra Parmesan and salt, followed by three back to back episodes of R1ot Women on iPlayer.Absolutely flicking brilliant.Great writing, acting, cast, sound track, grounded setting, and gathering up of all the rage and energy of being the wrong side of 50 and not giving the f***s we used to! Glorious …
