    Drank the bottle of wine won last week in a raffle.  Shared it so only half, and a nice evening.  Probably the last of the evenings to sit outside and just be.  Still 12/20
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    I volunteered a parkrun today, as tail walker, and chatted to a chap who is 79 and does parkrun most weeks, and swims 3 times a week - inspirational.
