@KajiKita, sounds lovely, hope you had a good lunch x
The lunch was okay, but the company was lovely and then we had an amazing carrot cake when we got back to my friend’s 😉😊

Spendy day for me..I know that I am going out for a drink later so while it is a spendy day I have purchased a swimming costume and verruca preventative socks. If fits well I may take up swimming. Sometime later...I rescued a large aloe vera from the bin, with its babies and potted them all so I went and bought everything I needed, also plant for MD and strawberries. It was me that threw it away, however After three days in the bin I fished it out and tried to save it, I had enough of looking at it, I should have given it to MD in the first place, she now has the new pots, soil and re-potted plants, also I re-potted some of MDs plants. After my exertions I feel a little tired. Off to see friend soon, yay! 😁
