I had a day off the little gift shop today and I’m not gonna lie, I really missed it…. Sad huh?!?

Instead I headed directly across the road to my neighbour and hairdresser, Elaine, for 9am.

Today was new hairdo day. Just a fresh set of balayage highlights and some babylights… who knew that was a thing?!? I have some babylights…. Bless 😂

Horrific huh?!? 😂😂

More importantly I got it cuddle this little gorgeous pup the whole way through! She fell asleep on my knee through the blow dry 🥰

I’m really pleased with the end result. So natural but it’s just a bit brighter than my natural colour. It just gives it a wee lift.

It’s now 4.30pm and the last 4 hours have disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I’m sat in the bedroom watching soppy, girly movies and crocheting.

My blanket is coming together nicely. Craig has the dogs watching football in the other room. Every now and then one of them sneaks out and bounds all over the blanket 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂 don’t know why I have a laughing emoji….. 😂😂

So the update on HRT…. My patch is still in place and hasn’t come unstuck. I’m a lot less aware of it now. The progesterone is helping me to sleep like a log.

So many lovely women are sharing their story and it means so much to me. I hope this encourages us all to talk about it. If someone has suggested this to me a few years back I would have been all over it.

I think the biggest learning for me is that finally I feel like I have an answer as to why all this happened to me. I’ve finally accepted that the past is ok but it’s the past and it’s what I do now that matters.

We’ve been on the pub this evening for a few… alcohol free gin for me! It’s been lovely to catch up and have a chat with our lovely neighbours.

Here’s the boy himself… we’re just home now, comfies on and a bit of tv until bed.

Been a lovely day off!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
