    Thanks everyone, I'm well pleased 😊

    Saturday doings:

    Could tell my CPC was going to be bad today even before the soreness hit as got up and had the dizziness and disorientatedness that comes from it being extra hard work for my body to pump blood etc around a body that's not connected properly

    Shower and hairwash but it was a big effort, good to get it done rather than spend ages dreading doing it though

    All the admin
    Lots of tidying

    Did an hour walk getting free vegan burgers from Waitrose and picked up their free paper too

    Then got a free slice of pizza and free can of beer from a new pizza place

    And got a free sample of Lancaster SPF cream in the post

    Tired out by 1pm though 😁

    Comping
    Other small bits off the to-do list

    Have spent the last hour trying to work out why mum's laptop microphone isn't working so she can use zoom and have not solved it but have lost the will to live

    Sorry you haven't been feeling too great. You did well to get out & about. Hope the freebies brought a little cheer.

    Thanks @foxgloves, it was actually sunny for a few hours so I didn't want to miss that rare event!

    I hear from a mate that people in Hastings and surrounding areas have no running water, hope none of you are affected

    I hate it when tech things don't work for no logical reason. Hope it fixes itself magically (as they do)

    Great news on the wins, and the freebies, and on getting stuff done even though you were feeling up against it - that’s impressive.

    South London never beats North usually - it just does a good line in pretending it does occasionally! 😂
