I bought a set of 4 lovely wine glasses and broke one when I washed them before putting them away 😭, so now I have 3!I’m also a tablet dodger 😁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Fantastic the cream and antihistamines have worked so well so quickly.
Very pleased you have nice things in the diary 🍻
If the larger glasses rarely get broken maybe the universe is telling you that you need to drink more wine 🤷♀️😁

Happy Friday 😎
Beautiful warm sunny day here, forecast to get to 30 degrees.
I'm working in the office today but have forgotten to bring my laptop charger so I'll be here for as long as the battery lasts. I was planning to finish around lunchtime anyway so hoping it will last until then. Better not work too hard and drain the battery 😆
Today's exercise is walking to/from work. Tonight's dinner is stir fry. Still haven't had time to sort out the freezer and do a meal plan but it's on the to do list for Sunday.
Looking forward to getting back home and sitting in the sunshine with my book, got to make the most of it while it's here.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -

I bet you're loving this weather, @Sun_Addict. It's even been hot in our murky old neck of the woods today, hasn't it?! Too hot for me & Soot tbh, & defo too hot for Mr F, but we have a shady courtyard leading off our conservatory so I do love to sit out there on our 'coffee bench' in hot weather with my book, or atm, with the huge pile of magazines a neighbour gave me.
Hope you get some time in your dangly chair.

I made it to 1pm before the battery died. It was quite chilly in the office with the damned air con. When I got outside the heat hit me like walking off a plane. Several people have complained about the air con, you shouldn’t have to sit inside with a coat on when it’s 30 degrees outside.Managed to get some time in my hanging chair with my book.Picked my first yellow courgette for tonight’s stir fry. Also picked some raspberries and strawberries.Have been awarded 3 days free super Duolingo, finally on a weekend 🥳
Going to be super busy tomorrow as helping out with an event on the park across the road. Got to be there for 9am, it finishes at 3pm then have to help pack away. The things I get involved in 🙄I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -

I think the forecast is nice for your event tomorrow.
And well done for getting the three days free Super Duolingo! I keep on the lookout for that but as you say, that bird seems to alight when we are busy and can't give him full attention.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
