July 18th From above

From aboveFrom above – feet in the chippy.  C feeling dreadful the TN is back with a vengeance so it was off to the chippy for me.

Bit of a mixed day off, breakfast at the Tom, little light shopping and then back.  Day was a mix of showers and sun.

Lunch with herself.  Then a kip.
