Maybe Coke Zero has more caffeine in it than Diet Pepsi?!? I was “pure buzzin’” all night last night. At least it felt like it.

It’s another beautiful day. We were up early as Morrison’s were delivering the food shop between 8-9. I managed to clean the fridge and the kitchen before it arrived. I’ll say it again…. I always do my best work when I surprise myself. Had NO intentions of cleaning the fridge today. But It did need cleaned. Done.

The Morrison’s delivery guy was so lovely today. We chatted about how cold it was and laughed that it’s alright for me in my Christmas jammies in the house. He’s looking forward to getting home and playing in the snow with his 8 year old. ☃️⛷

I’ve actually started writing this at 9am as there are so many lovely motivational quotes today. I swear I attract the quotes that are reflective of the mood that I’m in.

This is very difficult for us all just now. It’s hard not to criticise what others do just because we can’t do it ourselves. Everyone is different. Everyone chooses what they believe to be right and wrong… it’s just more visible during a pandemic.

This really made me think as despite all my positivity (on the good days…) I am still critical. For me I think it comes from jealousy which is not a good emotion to have. There is no need for it as we all live diffident lives with different upbringings.

We took the dogs out for just shy of a 5 mile walk and my legs are gowpin’ (I put this through my usual English translation on google and it says gowpin’ means not nice. My legs are not nice. Ok…. what I’m really trying to say is they are jumpy and achey all at the same time. That is my use of the word gowpin’. So dog walk photos… here goes…… actually I’m writing this after I posted the photos and maybe dog walk should be renamed gate watch?!

Back home for lunch and had a lovely FaceTime with mum and then decided to head up to Home Bargains. Now I’ve not been out much at all in this lockdown but Craig needed hair gel and I forgot to order toothpaste with the food shopping. Any excuse really. I met Claire’s mum and dad on my way out the shop. Was SO lovely to see them. Had a lovely chat as it just seemed so normal to bump into people that you know. Did wish I could just bump into my mum and dad but one lot of us would have to move!!

Of course I stopped at the little coffee caravan for an Oat milk latte.

I need the sun to stay out forever. Nothing makes me happier than taking photos of our wonderful countryside. In pure blue sky and sunshine of course.

Just when you thought I might be done…. I went another walk…. with Claire this time so there are more photos!

I feel like I have written this blog all day. I’ve loved it. Life is good. I am so grateful for everything.

Oh I forgot….there is football on tonight…. I draw the gratitude line… I might just crochet.

Stay safe everyone 🧶🧶🧶
