I woke up at stupid o'clock this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. Of course now I'm flagging. I'm only watching men in lycra bodysuits hurling themselves down a mountain covered in snow so it wouldn't matter if I dozed off.

Miss B suddenly had a hankering to bake this afternoon. She wanted choc chip cookies but I had no choc chips. I also didn't have enough golden caster sugar or chocolate so our brownies are a bit of a mish mash of ingredients but I'm sure they'll taste fine.

Our local concert hall is advertising the BBC Orchestra doing the whole of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue which is one of my favourites. I should get a ticket, shouldn't I?

I watched Banjo and Ro's Grand Island Hotel and loved it so I bought the book. I live completely at the other end of this island but I'm sure some design ideas will still be pertinent.

When we were out for lunch with our friends on Sunday they were saying how they'd bought an ice cream maker and what fun they were having with it.
I think I need to acquire one.

Just back from having a lovely pub roast followed by sticky toffee pudding. Delicious.
We met our friends of 50 years (Mr B was mates with Mr G at Primary school) so spent the time putting the world to rights.

Mr B read something somewhere about 128hz being a good thing to help with Neuropathy so he's bought me a tuning fork. I'm really not sure how it works but worth a shot, right?

I found a toffee pecan meringue roll from Christmas in the freezer so I've cut us a slice each in the hopes that'll help to defrost quickly. I didn't want to wait three hours!😋

Had a great afternoon with my sister seeing Six the musical.
More like a rock concert than a theatre production. Sharp lyrics, great singers. Fun and energetic.
