So yesterday, one of my long-time (18yrs) girlfriends called me up to ask if I had plans tonight. My brother had came Friday to stay for the weekend and I told her as much and that we were just planning on watching football. She says she hasn’t seen me in a while and wants to come over if that’s ok. Of course, it is... So we are sitting here watching one of the games about 5 this evening and I hear my front door open. Here comes my friend with 3 more of my friends. They are all from Arkansas so no short trip for them. She starts unpacking an ice chest of wine & beer and then proceeds to light candles on these amazing carrot cake cupcakes ( my favorite) . I ask, who’s birthday? “Yours” she says... I’m a little confused cause my birthday is in June... but she says she didn’t get to celebrate with me and it was better late than never...LMAO—- that’s a true friend!!!IMG_1567911407.471107.jpg

If you guys ever want an inspirational piece of listening, and assuming this works outside the UK, this is about my best friend’s niece... the Team GB paralympic cyclist Liz Clarke-Saul who had her leg amputated age 12 due to a very rare form of bone cancer called adamantinoma.

Mortality: Liz Clarke-Saul

Good mornooning and Happy Sunday everyone.

We spent yesterday clearing out the loft space. We have been in this house 20 years and done it once before... it was long overdue.

So much stuff sorted for charity, boot fair, freecycle, recycling and the remainder was taken to the tip.

I swear that empty cardboard boxes have been breeding up there! [emoji23]

Have a good day!
