    Not one today. 

    It was going to be but Mr KK is still very down about losing his ‘special spatula’ that he uses when going away to vehicle shows with a cut out moustachioed smiley face - think frozen potato face type image (I know, I know … 😂) so I have ordered one from eeetsy for him, with his name on it this time(!) as a surprise. Not expensive, but not an NSD 🤷‍♀️😉 (and yes, I’m a soft touch! 🙄😉😂)
