    @Brie You are most welcome to keep posting on this thread. This is about my journey in my 60's.

    The cat does not go outside, so no funny presents.

    So today has been wonderful ,sunny and warm.(time to get out the summer clothes?)

    I did 2 loads of washing which I will remove from the line soon.

    I have cleaned the bathroom floor and also cleaned the vents on the cooker hood.

    Hope everyone else got a share of the sunshine.

    Thank you for letting me stay! Not that I'm very good at keeping out of places I find interesting.

    And as for the cat - there was no suggestion that s/he had gone outside. The bird/mouse/boa constrictor could have been on a suicide mission and breached your perimeter.

    Yes ,I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 days of Sunshine that we had. Loads of washing done.

    Yesterday I was out all day with a very good friend of . Had a lovely lunch and a walk around, Great to catch up.

    Today my washing went out, it rained, bought my washing in.. Then the sunshine came out again. Typical April showers. The washing is on the heated airer.

    Today finished my moms yearly financial report - I find it is a pain to complete, It is done for another year.

    After I have browsed the forum, I am going to have a shower and wash my hair-I may even paint my nails.

    Tomorrow we are off out to meet up with my hubby's sister and her husband, For lunch and a mooch around a large store,

    Hope everyone is ok.

    Monday I go back to work after 2 weeks holiday.

    Not long until the next break😀

    Evening Everyone,

    Had a lovely meet up with my sister in law and her husband. I treated myself to a bright lime t-shirt which was in the sales. Then when I got to the till, there was another 20% off.

    The weather is cold and raining here.

    Back to work tomorrow.

    have a lovely evening everyone 😀

    Back at work today. Doesn't feel like I ever had the 2 weeks off. Been asked to do a few extra shifts this week- extra money will come in handy.

    Lovely sunshine here. Washing outside drying.

    I have an early shift in the morning, So I better go and cook tea. Also bin day tomorrow.

    Hope everyone has a good evening
