My lovely Gran would have been 103 today.

Here she is with our baby Freya when she was still a puppy.

Awwww I miss my Gran. 💜

She left me with a lifetime of sayings….

I credit all the sayings to her when I’m not even sure they were hers.

“Who’d a thunk it” is probably still my most used, where “we worry about the day we never saw” no longer serves me!

She didn’t like my long hair….. we had lots of conversations about eh impracticality of it!

It was getting in her face in this photo. 😆

Bless her.

So back to my day. Awake at 11pm for the loo and again at 3.54am….. I could not get back to sleep. I stuck my fingers in my ears in the hope it would drown out my thinking but no….

I was wide awake.

I ran with Lynsey at 5.45am, as we do on a Wednesday.

It had been TORRENTIAL rain all the while I lay awake. I was sure we’d get soaked so I left my glasses in the house.

Not a drop of rain at all….. not one.

Mars was clearly visible even to my blurry eyesight!

It was lovely weather for a winter run.

The traffic was busy on the Main Road and we had to stand for a while to let traffic pass.

I obviously use that time to try and get my breath back. 😆 It was a really fast time, considering how long we stood still.

Strange teeth action in this photo 😬🥴

So work has been super busy today. It was stock check day but I feel like people said a million different things to me and I have no idea if I’ll remember them all?!?! 🫣 I’ll try to recap in the morning with a fresh head.

The day went really quickly.

You’ll be pleased to know I tried cooking again tonight, after last nights disaster!

This time I had all the ingredients…. But it’s taking an hour to cook in the oven!!

I’m due to meet the Crochet Hookers in the pub, next door, in precisely 12 minutes.

I will not burn my mouth….. 😆

Sweet potato and chickpea curry.

There is a very good chance this will be nuclear temperature 😆

Stay safe everyone 💜💜💜
