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! 😱

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…

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.

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.

Love the @lakelandtrails.bsky.social events. Stunning views, stone skimming, and a little bit of drumming of course.

On bonfire night Gwen is allowed a tennis ball in the house. It’s not a total distraction but such is her obsession with ball play it has proven more effective than absolutely anything else we have tried over the years. Including drugs from the vet.

And every time you open a new box of paracetamol it’s the leaflet end.
To the people letting off the fireworks that are terrifying my dog, I wish you a lifetime of having to wash up bowls that have had Weetabix in them but haven’t been put into soak.

Been on a course all day (a proper one with a qualification at the end of it!)
Saw this whilst stretching my legs at dinner time.
