    DH is on his last day today and so will also be on leave after lunchtime. It makes a change for us all to be off at the same time.

    Me and the kids are off swimming this morning. I've also been out and walked the dog.

    I've got tonsilitis 😒 Explains why I've been feeling a bit grotty. It's not stopping me though, we're off to check off some miles today. I'm going to weigh and go
