My partner who is normally away Monday - Friday for work, was here today… and I was able to have a TWO AND A HALF HOUR NAP! So needed after solo parenting a 2.5 year old and a 7 month old all by myself in the week. I woke up feeling … drum roll 🥁… alive! 😂 So that’s made me feel very happy! Before children I’d call myself the nap queen, I could nap any time, anywhere, for hours and hours and still sleep so well at nighttime ha ha. I miss them so much and am so pleased I got to have one today. Hope you’ve all had a lovely bank holiday today. X

I feel like we've done absolutely nothing all weekend except be super lazy yet the house is spotless for the first time in forever, the skips full and the garden is cleared of mess. So I'm happy! I don't know how like 😂 my brother also visited today and finished the electrical work in the bedrooms which was a nice bonus 💜

We got a box with our Aldi delivery, my cat Sue absolutely loves it. She has two other boxes but this one makes her so happy she swiped at her brother for daring to smell it.

He is her actual brother, not just a cat sibling. He's twice her size but she'll still give him a smack when he needs one.

My son had a hospital appointment and all signs point towards him being in good health and the Doc seemed really chuffed with how he’s doing. We also had 5 people tell us how great his hairstyle is. It’s pretty great to be fair!

Oh little friend Susan, never change 😂 my little girl has developed an obsession with coffee, every tike I make one (which is often) she insists on smelling it, recoils in disgust but then insists again. Cata are so odd 😂

Having a witchy chat with other dialysis patients about being on the machine and how it affects all of us.
Also eating a Biscoff cheesecake.

I’m so sorry you’re on dialysis. I’m glad you can all have some solidarity together though. And yes to biscoff cheesecake!

I went to the pool today for a swim for the first time in months. I was really nervous about it as I've scaled back exercise wise since I had my stroke. Anyway, I went with the plan to do 20 lengths but only went and smashed it by doing 40 in just over 50 mins (allowing 5 mins for a chat with someone I hadn't seen for ages!) So pleased with myself and even more so because I didn't struggle like I thought I would.

I would like to say that I'm motivated to do it again tomorrow morning but I can't be arsed with the faff of getting wet and having to wash and dry my hair again🤣 maybe next week!

Swimming cap? There’s a few tricks online of people who have protected their hair when they swim! 🥰
Well done to you!

Made some progress with decluttering. To someone else, it might not look like much, but I know it is. It's overdue but I will get there. 😁

Sir David Attenborough turning 100,, which is quite amazing really. It's nice to hear some good news in the media , and it's refreshing to hear the general public saying nice things about someone for a change.

He's done more for the earth, ecology and animals than anyone else. I'm very happy I've been alive at the same time as Sir David.

Driving past a field of horses and one of them had a zebra print coat on made me chuckle 😃

We had a David Attenborough birthday party tonight, surprised the little ones who absolutely love him. Decorated the sitting room with balloons and banners. We watched some of his shows whilst we played past the parcel 😂 we played a board game with life in colour on in the background and we all really enjoyed the night. Going to sleep they asked who's birthday it was tomorrow for us to celebrate - started something now 🙈 I'm so happy they enjoyed themselves!!

Awww I love that and something they’ll remember for the rest of their lives! You sound like a great mum !

Also, Sorry to bring down the mood but are you going to throw a funeral when he passes? Xx

I made some cheese scones this morning for our lunch today, and they are actually the best scones I have ever eaten.
(I’m not a big scone baker because they’re never great unfortunately but if you want the recipe it’s the Taming Twins one).
