Another nice day today, and I'd quite like to carry on as yesterday, but we are going out for a bit to get the kids off their screens and getting some fresh air!
The dog is much better, so we feel ok about leaving her for a couple of hours now.

A lovely day and two beaches visited We also went to a NT place for a picnic lunch. It was lovely to be out and about in the sun "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee6 -
