    To add - PA wise I realised I hadn’t completed my profile which probably explains why I’ve not been getting many surveys. All done now and already got more coming through, although none I fancy, I’m quite fussy 😆

    We watched a few Glasto sets last night. Mr SA has decided on an old Christmas episode of Only Fools and Horses which is his current obsession - he watches it all day!
