Having taken a week off work last week managed over 25K steps 3 days, watched another B&W film, entered another competition (no wins so far), read 2 translations (both Folio collections of fairy tales bought from Oxfam a while back - Perrault and Hans Christian Anderson), celebrated a friend's 75th, another donation to the food bank, another run, some gardening every day ('Just One Thing') and 2 new ways of cooking eggs, a call to DD and another litter pick which means I'm back on target with 388 overall.
