    I haven’t got one just yet. I’m not keen on Angela though, granted she can kick her leg up high which is impressive at her age, but the rest of her body doesn’t appear to move much 😕 That said I like to have one to boo when they go through to another week 😆 How much did I shout at the TV when Jeremy Vine kept going through 😆

    As the weather was so nice did some gardening instead of decluttering as it’s a shame to be indoors today and now we’re heading towards winter you have to make the most of good weather. 

    Got two loads of washing dry, mowed the lawns, tidied the garden, filled the garden waste bin and gave Mr SA the task of planting the pansies while he was sitting there doing nothing. I also tasked him with planting sweet pea seeds then realised I don’t have any. 

    Speaking of Mr SA he’s wandering around muttering about finding a comb because he’s trying to grow his hair spiky - his hair is almost non existent so not sure how that’s going to pan out 😬 He’s driving me potty! 

    Now relaxing (well trying to) reading my book and listening to Rylan.

    Mr SA was being a right pain tonight switching over to rugby while I was watching Strictly 😡 I’m in bed now watching the TV up there as apparently the match isn’t going the way he wants and he’s shouting at the TV. Honestly he would watch paint drying if the words World Cup were attached to it 🙄

    I’m sure the poor dehydrated footballer soon recovered after a couple of post match pints 😆 This isn’t the first time I’ve been chastised by a football manager. Many years ago I was told off by a very famous football manager for distracting the DJ at an event 🤣

    @Sun_Addict - Lol, I wonder if it was the same manager as the one to whom I accidentally showed my pants on the embankment bridge......
