Fireworks going off around us and I'm anxious because it reminds me that Charlie isn't around to bark himself hoarse at them this year 😥😥😥😥 I miss him so much.

Present from the next door neighbours to say thanks for helping them pick up and deliver some beds on FB Marketplace. I think community is going to be vital if we're to survive the next few years, being there to help one another when our Governments don't have our best interests at heart.

Can't even remember which company this was because of the speed at which I unsubscribed after finally finding the button! This is also attempting SERIOUS magnification.

The sun & solar were kind so today's baking and cooking is below. Cooked a chicken yesterday & made stock so that's been converted into chicken & veggie soup for lunches from the freezer, sausage rolls AGAIN (child & hubby have a PROBLEM!) & chocolate muffins. Tomorrow figure out rest of chicken!

I've discovered a "done that" attitude since hitting 50, tattoos? Yep. Triple ear piercings? Yep. Pink hair? Yep. Pixie cut? Yep. (See below) Long hair? Yep. Colours? OH yep.Anyway, having it all cut tomorrow, I'll keep you up to speed. Let's not forget, it grows so what's the worst that can happen?

But here we are 5 1/2 years in & I'm bored (trust me, this is normal!) I actually got it to about 26 inches long & went back to blonde but had a chunk cut off last time. Yes, it does go that curly if I diffuse it!

In March 2020 Covid seriously hit & that chance to grow it out from the comfort of my home was wonderful! When hairdressers started again & I thought it was long enough, I went pink.

I'm having about 12 inches cut off my hair tomorrow. I'd always wanted long hair but suffered horrendously from the in-between stage so kept getting it cut back. In Jan 2020 it looked like this after I got it dyed brown & told hairdresser I was going to give it another go.

I've seen some seriously sneaky Unsubsribe buttons on emails in my time but this one takes the prize. This was after magnifying it enormously as well, MINISCULE typeface!

There isn't really a non UK equivalent except maybe damsons, a small plum? They grow wild in UK & I've really enjoyed foraging for sloes, blackberries, rosehip out in the fields my mum has in the New Forest, that's a National Park in UK

Branch from our Victoria plum tree came down on the neighbours side yesterday and they kindly delivered us the not yet ripened plums back to us. ONE branch. I can see why it gave up the ghost!
