Happy Birthday! Isn't it a windy day in our neck of the woods today?! Already had a short power cut & at least 2 roads in town have trees down.
Don't blow away!

Happy birthday SA! Hope you have a relaxing day with much prosecco x2

enjoy your birthday. Quite right to avoid pots, pans and cooking on your birthday and opt for Prosecco and someone else cooking and clearing up for you.2

Thank you all ☺️
Ended up going to a garden centre quite a long walk away. Got fed up
of constantly losing Mr SA and having to keep ringing him to ask where he was. The garden centre is amazing, already decorated up for Halloween. I may have bought a pumpkin coaster 😆 I also bought a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a wind spinner. No plants 🤣
We stopped off at a pub on the way back for lunch. My salad was mainly a bag of lettuce with a few bits of beetroot in it but to be honest it was nice. It was lovely to sit outside in the sun and quite warm despite the wind.Sitting with my feet up now as I’ve done 22,000 steps. Luckily the local pub where we’re going tonight is 10 minutes walk away. Mr SA is in bed asleep.Some sad news from DS, his cat was hit by a car yesterday and although he’s still alive is quite badly injured and may have to be PTS 🙁 They are going to have to make the decision is it worth spending a lot of money they can’t afford on him only for him not to recover.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Forgot to say I also bought a calendar. Photo of this lunchtime’s salad.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3
