    Reading your diary makes me think you would enjoy this one:


    I will ‘fess up here and tell you that I still have a 9 pack of loo roll stashed in the cellar from when we had that huge run in the stuff during the pandemic ….! 😂 I really should bring it back into the house and use it up! 😉

  • Delurking, I hope to retire early, no great plans just time for the garden and long dog walks with good coffee.  The tin of salmon, I used to work overseas, came home for Christmas and always got salmon cucumber (little bit of vinegar) sandwiches for the ferry trip back, it is a bit of a tradition now to have them at some point after Christmas.
