Good morning tooters. I got a wee sleep in today which was nice, but always puts me on the back foot & out of routine. Not that it’s a bad thing though. It’s 18c at the moment & we’re heading to a warm 32c, not too bad, a little warmer than I’d prefer but . #Weather
I’m heading to Beechworth again today. My niece & husband want to go while they’re here & have asked if I’d like to go with them as well. I’m always up for a wee day trip, so I said yes . I quite fancy a gelato & there’s a pretty good ice cream shop up there. #Relatives #DayTrip #Beechworth
No formal exercise class or activity for me today but I’ve done well this week as it is. I’ve stripped & washed my bedding already today & remade my bed & am about to water the garden & that’s today’s jobs done. Easy peasy .
Wishing everyone a great #Friday #HereComesTheWeekend.
