Thank you all.I had a lovely day with my friend.I left my house a bit later than I’d hoped this morning as Mr SA had a bit of an accident with the bed sheet so had to strip the bed. That’s both sheets in the wash now. We are now down to the emergency sheet 😕
I only had time for a quick whisk round Primani and a coffee before it was time to get on the bus. It was only £2 bus fare even though the journey was to a different county an hour’s ride away. I thought the £2 only applied to city boundary fares so that was a bonus.The weather was lovely so we sat in her garden all afternoon chatting. I couldn’t believe it when I looked at the time and 4 hours had gone by.I’m shattered now though it took 4 hours in total to get there and back counting me walking to/from the city centre and the bus journey. My feet are killing me as I walked over 20,000 steps in sandals not trainers - a case of vanity over comfort I’m afraid.Mr SA survived but according to him he’s had a nightmare of a day 🙄

Morning all, happy Saturday 😎
I have a live Zumba class shortly then time for a quick coffee before I go to the hairdressers. After that I need to pick up a paper and if I feel like it I might pop down to a car boot sale that’s being held at a local community centre. So that’s the morning gone.
The dog needs to go out at some stage. I also need to complete the survey form for the Tryit box. Already got one load of washing out and thanks to Mr SA there’s another load to do. My washing machine deserves overtime money 😆
Cancelled a subscription to a magazine that’s been getting thinner and thinner each month. It’s about as thick as a weekly magazine now and really not worth the money.Tonight’s dinner is veggie burger and salad. Prosecco is in the fridge 🥂
Hoping to get some time in the garden this afternoon pottering and reading my book. It’s going to be a hot one ☀️I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Glad you had a nice day. You deserve it.
I'm sure Mr SA will get over his "nightmare " day 😀3 -

Enjoy your new hair after the hairdressers.
