Treated myself to proper tea brewed in the pot this morning ☕️

The reality is that I have run out of teabags and had to turn every kitchen cupboard upside down looking for the tea pot which was eventually found under the sink.

Cold, dark, rainy. Feels like the perfect evening to start a rewatch of Detectorists. Again 😊

Son has bought a load of 90’s club classic/electro/rave vinyl. Oh the memories 💃

2 missed calls from UHMBT this morning likely meaning I missed out on a cancellation slot for shoulder surgery.
That does mean I must finally be somewhere near the top of the waiting list though🤞🏻

Festival weekend in town meaning road closures & less street parking. I have managed to nab one of the prime town centre residents parking spaces at the bottom of my street.
Can’t move my car until Monday because of the Ferris wheel in front of it but I don’t need to so I am a total winner today 💪🏻

Been out for tea to celebrate how ancient I am, what with having two now 23 year old children.

Watching Stranger Things with sons GF this evening. Turned the big light on afterwards and, I kid you not, it flickered so bad it was like we’d fallen into a real life episode! 😱

Been out pedalling in the sunshine. The very low, blinding sunshine 😬
Also it was cold.
Worth it though 🚴🏼‍♀️

Monday down ✅
Late finish and grey, cold weather killed any motivation I had to cycle after work.
The sun is supposed to shine tomorrow though and I’ve clocked up a few hours overtime to cash in…

Started the weekend with a bit of a wobble but heading into Sunday night on an even keel again. Bring on the new week, lots to look forward to 😊

No to do list this weekend. I went to a party last night, had 2 drinks and was up past midnight.
This is so very far removed from my usual Friday night routine, I am tired today.

Rode my bike up over t’moor this afternoon. It was chilly!

Written a ‘to do’ list for today. Have ticked off the first item so it’s time for a coffee break.

We are Friday night ready 😁Pyjamas on, I have one of those little single serving bottles of red and have ordered pizza delivery from the restaurant that’s a 5 minute walk away from my house.

I have my car back! There’s been an element of guess work involved over the last few weeks so fingers crossed this time…

Early Years is sometimes just brilliant. I’ve been walking to/from work and when taking off my socks and shoes to put on my thicker socks and boots to walk home a little boy looked at my bare feet, somewhat incredulous, “you got feet” he said. 😂😊

This lady caught my eye as I stood under the shelter of a tent at a running event last weekend.

I started a note in my phone ‘Good things are always happening to me’. I try to add something every day. I am really struggling today.
