Could be much worse… Afternoon Fiona. All good here, thanks. Stupidly busy and not much else. I’m looking forward to the middle of January when I think I’ll have some free time back! In the meantime, all the coffee. Glad your lurgy is departing. And thanks for the thoughts. ☕️🤗x

Thanks Tom. Yes, I spent many a happy day there. Had a Saturday job for a while and met people from all over the world. Famous stage magicians to hobbyists made it their home. It’ll be missed!

Morning Fiona. Feet up, as instructed. Will save the dozing for later. I’ve got an important video game to play first. 🤓
Happy Sunday! ☕️😇x

Thanks. But yes, many others have it far worse. We’ve still got our livelihoods and our health (more or less)! It’s just the end of a long and important chapter. On to the next!

Thanks Fiona. It’s a huge place and he really can’t keep it after the stroke. Retiring to a lovely house with a bluebell wood at the bottom of his garden. He’s going to love it.
Happy Saturday! 🥳🥂x

Morning Fiona. Glad you’re feeling better! Hope the cough doesn’t hang around as long as mine did… All is well over here, ta. Too much work at the mo so I’m not very sociable but at least I’m busy. And getting paid! Happy Thursday.

Morning Fiona! A short walk sounds like a good plan. Bit of fresh air. I’ve got some garden stuff to sort out which is more than enough fresh air for me… Hope you’re feeling better. 😎x

Thanks. I’m, like, a journalist or something. Maybe I could be an influencer and earn millions!

Whoever invented the guitar tuner probably made a lot of money… so maybe I’ll invent a lurgy tuner. You can be my first test subject! Although it seems this nasty cold is everywhere so I don’t think I’ll be short of help. Hope you’re feeling a bit better! 🤗xx
