    I’m a nightmare with afternoon teas as I don’t eat meat or eggs, butter or margarine. I don’t drink tea and I don’t really like sandwiches 🤣🤣 The last time I had one they made me an individual one with no meat or eggs and coffee not tea but couldn’t understand why I just wanted dry bread with no spread not even vegan spread😬

    Afternoon tea was lovely , it was served outside which made a change. . I didn't sleep well last night at all , this keeps happening I think it's all the underlying things going on in RL. 
    Anyway today I am off to collect my Euro's for my holiday 2 weeks on Tuesday . Then seeing the GKs this afternoon for some more fun on bouncy things , but outside ones . Thankfully I am only there to supervise 😂. 
    Enjoy the sunshine whilst it's here .

    I usually have sandwiches without butter too although it doesn't bother me if I get them with it on if I'm eating out. 

    Hope you had a lovely weekend and the results from your Dad's tests are good.

    The breakfast sounded lovely. 
    I think the not sleeping is exactly what you say stress catching up with you. Not long until you fly away to the sunshine.
