Another NSD today (my gym class doesn’t count as I deem it essential for physical and mental health ).
The meal yesterday was absolutely amazing. Feeling very old now.. 10 years of marriage is a long time!

Hi guys
Today is going to be a NSD making my total 10
Theres no way I’m leaving the flat today as I am absolutely shattered. We stayed over in York Tuesday night and did the Christmas market. York is lovely at any time but boy there’s a lot of walking involved. We went with OHs brother and his wife which was a nice catch up and got a couple of bits for DGDs Xmas stocking but today is definitely a lazy day.
