Day 1316 a ratty day but ending with a lovely dinner with lovely ladies!

Oooh I’ve been a ratbag today. I’ve been so ratty… I don’t know why, but I’m snapping at everyone and everything that’s not going my way.

I know I’m better than this.

I don’t want to be that person…. I just feel a bit meh just now. This is the week of my birthday and I usual count down the days in November. Not so much this year. I cannot believe it’s a year since my 50th!! Where has the year gone?!

Listen to me sounding all Eyore…

I’m sorry. I want to be full of sweetness and light. I’m not living in wonder at the present moment, I’m just just a bit flat.

I went round to the beach while I waited to meet Andrena and Linda for dinner at Gro Coffee. It’s dark and mean and moody…. The sky is full of passing rain showers. The Isle of Arran invisible behind the clouds.

Gro looks lovely in the dark with all of its lovely lights. Very inviting.

I came in early and it’s such a lovely space and it was cold and dark in the car. This was a very good idea. I’ve ordered a decaf coconut milk latte.

There are good tunes playing and it’s immediately lifted my mood. I’m excited to catch up with the girls and hear all about the Fit z body Farm.

I guess we can’t all be happy and full of the joys of spring (🤷🏻‍♀️) every day.

The key is how you manage the less happy days. Being aware is half the battle. I’ve been apologising to everyone all day. 🥺😬 One day I hope I will be able to keep calm and not get flustered. I have set myself high goals eh?!

Spending time in a lovely place with lovely friends is always going to help lift your mood.

We had a lovely wee catch up and the loveliest food.

We shared a Cajun chicken pizza, buttermilk chicken strips with BBQ and Siracha sauce, bread and oils and Caprese salad.

Gro Coffee is just so pretty.

This is really blurry but I had to get a cake for Craigie! I didn’t have one as I couldn’t have fitted anymore in. 😂

It was a lovely evening with lovely people who are good for my soul!!

I’m also hoping there’s some cake left over for tomorrow…. 😆

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
