Having a beer in town in the square. Temp has dropped a bit but everyone's walking round in t-shirt and shorts.

But lots of folk are pretending to be cold by wearing a woolly scarf as well :D

I just wear my fur lined flip flops.

Don't need a fleece till February

Getting up and seeing the sun come up....and it's not raining! :thumbup:

Goin' yompin' shortly...and the 'sports centre' (2 footy pitches/cricket pitch) café is open on Sundays. Marv, that's lunch sorted...the facilities are pretty bonzer for a rural playing field and they don't mind muddy boots. :D

Waking up from a dream where I can't find the place to get the thing that I need to fix the thing that I need to fix so I can do the thing the boss told me to do and realising that I'm retired. :thumbup:

Had some super good news today 😀

In February our little furry friend was very poorly.
Vet tests showed his liver reading was about 800 when it should have been under 200. Next week the reading was off the scale. So put him on strong liver tablets and completely changed his diet.
When the vet from Gran Canaria came over, she did more tests and found out the the bile duct was chucking out poison which was making the liver poorly.
So more tablets to solve that.

About a month ago the vet said that his liver readings had gone back to normal.

And this morning the vet called to say we can take him off the liver tablets now.

Who's a good boy 👦

A, Nearly
B, Almost

The whole week was more of the same. Over complicate a simple meal, then serve it late while whining about how tired you are.
Thursday eve, after dinner I took a couple guests to see Pink Miami at apres. I got fairly hammered and got to bed around 2AM. Friday morning, I'm up and at work listening to the chef telling me how she's so tired after a long week :roll:
