I went outside to feed the birds.
Then I put the breadmaker on.
Coffee time!
Added more tunes to my playlists...

Over 500 on the other....
"Alexa play my playlist please!"

He brought the rest home for pudding later.
I had drop off Sexy Beast for its MOT on Monday.
I dropped it off, and wasn't going to wait for half an hour in the cold. So I started to walk and bumped into an old friend who was walking down to the local Aldi's.
I actually reached my lollipop spot.
I texted my hubby on where to pick me up.
Hubby picked me up.
We went past my dad's house and the drive was still filled up with cars!
Back home.
Empty space greets me where Sexy Beast normally parks.
Dished up the tea.
