Simple Pleasures

It's half term holiday here - and a long weekend for me ! Although typically yesterday was so busy - I forgot to blip !

Monday morning - trip to the fracture clinic for No 2's thumb checkup (all well - more physio!), then lunch for the girls and I at my sister's (and another birthday present for No 3!) - then shopping and a nice M&S coffee and chat with a friend 'J'.

Then it was dark and bed.

Back to work today. 100 mph. Took my camera - but it didn't come out my handbag.

THEN I found the chocolate hob nobs in the cupboard ! (my personal favourite!) - almost makes up for the 2 hours of ironing.

HAD to share these jokes that are circulating on FB !
