     Cheers xx
    Unbelievably I’ve never seen the Sound of Music 😱 I remember my mum had the LP on vinyl so I’ve heard the songs a fair few times 🤣

    Hope you have a relaxing Christmas. You might like the Muppet Christmas - they aren't acting as Muppets but as real characters. Even my male roommates like it!

    Thank you for all your Christmas wishes 🥰

    Well it’s just me and the dog at the moment as Mr SA has gone up for his siesta and DD still hasn’t emerged to open her presents. Watching James Martin with a 🍷

    Took the dog for a run on the park earlier, it was busier than usual with people we don’t normally see. We decided not to go to the local in the end as we have enough wine/beer to sink a battleship here. 

    Starting to wish I’d made the effort to go to Lidl or Aldi yesterday with the reports of 75% off fresh stuff - not that I’ve got any room in the freezer so maybe for the best! 

    Mr SA’s beef is in the slow cooker and I just need to prep the potatoes and veg for tonight.
