This is the best time of year. Flowers in bloom. Strawberries. Daylight hours still increasing. Hot sun. Okay I live in my sunglasses because sunshine gives me headaches and heat makes me nap but it’s all good. ☀️ 😎
Saw The Corrs at Scarborough Open Air Theatre last Saw The Corrs at Scarborough Open Air Theatre last night thanks to winning tickets from TK Maxx. They were SO GOOD! 🥁🎤 It was great hearing them play all their instruments and sing so effortlessly.  Runaway and Breathless were *chefs kiss* 👌🏻Dreams makes me think of being 16 again in the 90s, well, before the crap part. 
Awesome night. Teeth chatteringly cold in my little dress but brill experience.  Now I have a dehydration headache cos I was too anxious to drink. 😆

Oh how I WISH this was today 😂😂😂 Actually Oh how I WISH this was today 😂😂😂 Actually went to the beach the other week, just never posted about it. I’m layered up with a knitted jumper and cardi over the top while I wait in hope of this week’s *warmer* forecast. But right now, I AM FREEZING MY TITS OFF! 🤣

I’m not good at getting myself out in my car. La I’m not good at getting myself out in my car. Last week was half term and I went out once. 😂 Went to Mum’s though which is a big trip for me. I find anxiety and hypermobility pains a bit of a mix behind the wheel, and I’m hoping the painful knee I have right now isn’t a result of driving cos that’d suck. But I’m soldiering on. 😅  I’m fine with tootling about to the shops and doing the school run. 🌸
