I think there must be a particular feeling to being ninety - I've known of a few people who seemed very proud of it, and why not?
SA, I'm sure by the time you reach ninety, this year will be counted as 'in my youth'.

😂😂😂My Mil banned anyone mentioning her 90th….no 90 cards or ANYTHING mentioning the number 😂😂😂😂 She didn’t want her toy boy who was only in his 70s to know how old she was 😂😂😂😂 The fact she had a daughter in her late 60s might have been a give awayJanuary spends - £587.587

That's Wednesday done.
Worked in the office today, got soaked walking there, the weather was wet and grim until about 10am then all of a sudden the sun came out and it's quite warm now.
Not a NSD as I had to buy some emergency L*dl own brand cat food for my very fussy cats who seem to have gone off the more expensive branded one they usually have! I'm having to mix their food with a bit of each 🙄 Bloomin' cats!
Today's exercise was walking to/from work and a Zumba session at 6pm so will be well over 20,000 steps by the time I collapse on the sofa later.
Tonight's dinner is an old favourite Harissa Prawn Orzo.
In gardening news I have loads of French beans and chillies. I also have loads of tomatoes but they're not ripe yet. I was late planting because of the April holiday so I guess they're a bit behind schedule. The peppers have started appearing but are very tiny at the moment - I did really well with them last year.

Morning all, happy Thursday.
WFH today. Mr SA is up and about already unfortunately so not the nice quiet start to the morning I usually enjoy. I hate it when he gets up early as it throws him out for the rest of the day and he starts thinking about his lunch around 10am!
It's a lovely sunny start to the day so will get some washing out.
Exercise is a dog walk later this morning, a lunchtime stretch & tone session and as there's no Zumba tonight I'm doing a cardio crusher session from my FitOn app.
Tonight's dinner is a stir fry with udon noodles, tofu and peanut sauce - I actually have some udon noodles now, never had them before but have seen them in a lot of recipes, they were in L*dl as part of their taste of Asia week. I had a good stock up of things like miso paste, edamame beans and various sauces.
