Am off to practice my pirouettes :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

The agony of the injured toe is subsiding! Am off in search of chocolate and wine! DH said he was going out later but now decided to stay in and keep me company. Guess I'll have to converse rather than slobbing out on sofa with Sir Alan for company!

Send him out anyway!!

I am escaping to my nest to knit.. hubby is pricing a job in the frint room which means if anyone goes in there he will have a tantrum
