Went to buy suntan lotion today even though I don’t usually use it - vitamin D versus cancer, I know - but nothing’s under €25, most were €30, like what?!! Didn’t buy any needless to say.

Have to go to my friends funeral in the UK whilst at the same time it expires in July so I’ve had to apply for an emergency travel document for £100 and this means they cancel my passport immediately. Ok 😕

Second January living on a houseboat and you suddenly remember all the storms and the fact you live on water … winds have blown off 2 metres of protective covering & the river entered the boat part of the boat, fun times! 😤

Reminded how much safer it is on the street then on a boat in this weather, almost got knocked out as I walked in the ‘house’ cos the wind is rocking it so much it’s like an episode of some fisherman in the North Sea.
