    Bit late but happy Saturday 🥳

    This morning gave the live salsa class yet another try but unfortunately it’s still not for me, too slow, the same steps over and over 😐 I’m sure it’s great for anyone new to exercise just too slow for me. Did my abs challenge afterwards. 

    Took the dog on the park before it got too hot. 

    Gave the house a good clean, did a bit of garden tidying then sat on my hanging chair for the rest of the afternoon. Also got some time on my sunbed and fell asleep it was so comfy 🤣

    My feet are striped where I’ve had my sandals on, same with my wrist where my watch has been 😆

    The dog isn’t enjoying the heat though. 

    Tonight’s dinner has been pizza and salad. Just opened the rose cava to watch Glastonbury with 🥂

    Forgot to say the French rose on offer at Lid! for £6.99 is lovely. Very dry and pale which is just what I like. I plan to pick up another bottle on Monday if there’s any left.

    Also today has been a NSD.

    What a pain about the breakages. I'm frustrated on your behalf.
    Lovely that you had a good outing seeing people though, and when you retire your pumpkin coach will have extended parking hours!
    I didn’t have to go back to work just that I have to get back for Mr SA 😞
    Ach but you'll be able to start earlier 😁

    Enjoy the cava and Glasto 🥂

    Cava and Glasto sounds good and you'll have your own nice loo to use...I don't have TV but I think I will do that next year  :)

    Don't know how you can sit outside in this heat. Its far too hot for me. I was up at 5.30 today, hoovering done, watering the garden done, exercises on the patio and now doing nothing strenuous and certainly not going in the garden for any length of time. 
    I don't envy you if you have to walk home with your lap top.
