Ahh joy, Miss S wants to go out but not in the rain, lots of meowing but not going out the open door.
So today is gym, lunchtime dance class, shopping and housework and more dancing this evening.

Day off today, went for a walk with bestie then taught her how to sell on vinted over a coffee. She was chuffed to sell her first item before we finished our coffee😂 so obviously there is now a competitive element and we are trying to see who can rid themselves of the most items by the end of the year😂
