Just Above Eye Level!

The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with a light on - Anon
I was up far too early for a Sunday🎈
I got dressed...
Down the stairs I went..
 I left sleeping beauty in his warm bed.
I gave Sexy Beast a run out↓
 I just pulled up at Tesco Express.
They were closing for an hour.
I went further down the road,
To the other newsagents.
I got my newspaper and headed back home.
Had tea and a lovely hug↓
 I had my younger brother come round.
I made sure the 2 meter rule was being used.
 He can't believe the Prodical brother is trying to screw us over by those questionable invoices.
He left with some empty boxes from Friday's delivery.
Now for a light lunch↓
 Getting tanned↑
After an hour of the sunshine.
Time for a nap.
Felt a lot better after that.
Not to do the evening meal↓

It didn't help the red light started to flash!
