    That is no age at all these days is it. We're definitely allowed to keep that sort of thing!

    And that’s Easter and the long weekend done. Back on the hamster wheel tomorrow 🙁

    What a beautiful day so warm and sunny. Got two loads of washing dry and got out my hanging chair and sat for an hour in the sun with my book. An early taste of summer. It was lovely to see bees and butterflies out enjoying the sunshine.

    Gave the kitchen a good clean this morning as DD was off work but went to the gym. Too good an opportunity to miss.

    Had to go to the little Mr T for milk. Can you believe DD came back with milk too!

    Went to the charity shop with 3 bags of donations but they weren’t accepting them today so had to take them back. Good job they were on Mr SA’s scooter as they were heavy.

    Then took the dog on the park. It was really busy.

    The storm blew a roof panel off the covered area at the side of the house and it ended up in a garden across the road from us! Imagine seeing that flying through the air! The lady who lives there is away but Mr SA still went to retrieve it. I wasn’t too happy about him doing this while she’s away and wanted him to wait until she’s back. I know she won’t mind though and she’s been away for a few days so never knew she’d acquired it. We’ll have to wait until DS is next here and can put it back on.

    I did quite a bit of gardening this afternoon and filled the garden waste bin.

    Today’s exercise has been almost 16,000 steps so far and I’m doing a live strength training session at 7.15.

    Tonight’s dinner is spicy tofu noodles with tahini sauce from the Deliciously Ella app.

    Back in the office tomorrow but meeting friends for lunch so won’t be so bad.

    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    Your mum was very young. I get emotional too when I see my mum's writing. Actually I'm getting emotional now thinking about you and your mum's writing and me and my mum's writing. I don't think we will ever stop missing them.
