The amount of joy and positivity in the U.K. this morning is wonderful. People voted for community, for inclusion, for collectivism and togetherness. This election has been a complete rejection of division, othering and nasty politics

My husband brought a gilet home from work, I scoffed at it. Shoved it on to nip into the garden and actually...
Hmm.

Went for my first senior swim today and they didn't query my age! 😭 My fantasy of cutting up and down the pool in efficient laps dissipated pretty fast. God I was stiff..followed by the contortions in the changing room trying to keep clothes dry, I'm worn out πŸ˜†

Merry Christmas from our household. Barry was caught mirroring the expression on the kangaroo tree ornament!

Had a muddy walk but managed to stay upright 😁 lovely day.
Returned to the vets with the extra medication I'd got yesterday- wrong dose! I opened them and wondered how the hell I'd get them down the cat they were huge. Gave me 400mg instead of 40mg! All sorted now

A Christmas garland or wreath made from greenery from the garden

Threw my Christmas wreath together yesterday. I was pleased to find the local garden centre were giving away tree offcuts for a donation to the hospice I already volunteer for 😊
Enjoyed clipping bits from the garden and putting it together. May wear thin after the next 3 I need to make
