Spent on Saturday the 1st (groceries) and another day (takeaway) which was probably the 3rd. But 4 NSDs including today.

I don't know what will be tomorrow, I've sort of emerged from my cold surprised that I can go a whole hour without blowing my nose and don't know what I'm supposed to do with all this free time 😄. There's lots of cleaning to do but I'm used to ignoring that.
