It was super windy this morning when I woke up at 7am. I was late in bed last night. We had a lovely afternoon and evening and Mum and Dad’s and I’ve just realised we didn’t take one single photo!! Special family time together.

So back to this morning, I got the dogs up and outside early and I sat in the garden and watched the sky turn pink before sunrise. The photos look orange…. Honestly this was very pink!

The ivy looks beautiful with the pink sky reflecting on it.

We sat out for a bit then I went back to bed for an hour or so. I couldn’t get back to sleep though. I did a Morrisons food shop on the app as I there.

As you do.

Food shop done without leaving the bed. We had a £10 voucher if you spent over £50 so that was a bonus!

I think I mentioned before but I use an app called “Lucky Bitch” which allows you to log all the money and value that you receive in a month unexpectedly. The theory is that you focus I gain rather than lack of money. I’ll be adding that £10 off the Morrisons shop as free food! It’s a great way to focus on the positives.

I took the dogs up the hill for a good run around. There are no photos of that either as I was updating to iOS 16. Check me leaving my phone at home.

The weather just continued to get worse and it’s now driving rain and really dark outside.

I tried to eradicate some of the dog hair again….. hoovered up as much as I could.

I’ve spent the day crocheting and then Craig and I popped into the pub next door for Steak Pie. The food shop doesn’t get delivered until 8pm tonight and I couldn’t be bothered heading out to the shops.

I also did a face mask! Sorry for the scare 😂😂😂

Thought that would give you all a laugh. 😳😂😘

I’m now back in front of the fire all cooried in and don’t intend to move for the rest of the day. There are things that need doing but they will just have to wait.

Time flies when you keep busy and I’m not used to this. I’m enjoying it though and just need to remember to build in some time for me.

I hope you all have a great week!

I know this is a lot to ask but many of you know how special the little gift shop is. I’ve dragged so many of you too it. Well Gayle had already won The Best Independent Retailer in the Ayrshire Business Awards and now she is a finalist in the Scottish Business Awards. If you can spare a few minutes, please could your vote for the little gift shop in Beith.

Shameless plug over…. I hope you all have the best week. Remember we’ve all got this and can take anything the week throws at us. There will always be those things that hit us from left field…. It’s how we react to them that counts. Says she who is great with advice… just doesn’t always take it. We’ve got this!!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
