Home Bargains had Sarah Jessica Parker – Lovely on sale yesterday for £18.99 so I thought I’d try it.

At first scoosh this morning (in dog walking gear…. yeah seriously!) I thought it smelled really lovely…. after about half an hour I wasn’t so sure. I have to state the obvious here but Eau de Parfum is so much better than Eau de Toilette. It is still lingering strongly and I have spent the whole day wondering what the smell is. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I really do like it. It’s just stronger than I am used to.

Can highly recommend a random perfume change during COVID-19 lockdown as it really is the gift that keeps on giving. 😆

I was very lucky in dog walk today to join my neighbour and his grandson on their daily Papi walk. He takes the wee one for a walk every day and I bump into them quite often. Today we did Papi puppy walk!! Took a bit longer than usual but lovely to see the wonder of a wee one splashing in puddles and in awe of every truck that passes… ♥️

I came home and booked two behaviour jobs and finished my puppy call presentation! Very productive!

I met up with my lovely friend Evelyn today for a quick cuppa at the little coffee caravan… and a big piece of millionaires shortbread. Today would have been our crochet Christmas lunch in the pub next door. We were so looking forward to it. Hookers day out was not to be. 🧶 🎄🧶

I thought the following articles were worth sharing as my blog is meant to be a record of life in covid days. Feeling a bit nostalgic about it all tonight.

It’s so sad to see what our world has been reduced to these days. I know that others have it way worse than me. I’m just feeling it for them tonight.

So at 18.44 I am waiting on our first Christmas dinner to be delivered from the pub next door. We would have likely been in the pub tonight for Christmas dinner and band night with all the neighbours. (When I think that through I would never have had the Crochet Christmas lunch and Christmas dinner all in one day…. with Holly’s portions that would not have been at all possible.

I’m going to hold off for photos and then publish. You can’t not see what we are about to eat!! 😆🤣🤣🤣

Starters saved for lunch tomorrow and mains already gone. Caramel apple pie for dessert. Wow. Missing all the company of those we would have shared it with but so very special.

Watched the last episode in the series of the Mandalorian at the same time. Wow. A breathtaking ending. We both stopped eating and stared at the screen. We both went back to finish. Don’t worry!

Stay safe everyone 🎄🎄🎄
