“Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak.” – Steven Wright

Another night enjoying the king size bed instead of the sofa....\o/
We were up early to do our daily walk..

We drops off our sons for their little walk.
I visit and tidy up my parent's grave↓
Then off to Asda↓
 They sold out of their Ham Hocks.
While my hubby waited in the car, I got two lovely plants from B&Q.
Then we drives to Sainsburys.
 We waited for the rain to go.
We got a Ham Hock for my neighbour.
Enjoyed a much needed coffee↓
 Back home in the sunshine↓

 Husband woke up after the second episode had finished.

Hubby got his things ready to take to work tomorrow.
