Good luck tomorrow, Ali. I hope the new cohort are a lovely lot and not too “wampy” after their odd start in life. It will, indeed, be interesting to compare them to the “normal” intake. I imagine there’ll be a bigger difference between them, depending on the input from parents!! One day before the weekend sounds like an excellent way to start the year! 
What colour are the comfy boots, KTC? Can you dye them/tone them down by polishing in a preffered colour? As you say, though: comfort is the main thing. I hope they continue to be comfy. Don’t you just hate those shoes that seem wonderful in the shop and turn into weapons of torture once you’ve worn them too much to return them? 
Amble on Tuesday was drizzly but good to be out. Car needed fuel so I was forced to go to the garage on the way home…and buy myself a sandwich and fruit…to delay going back. I’d left OH’s lunch ready so I didn’t feel guilty.
Food shop yesterday in T**** (rhymes with al fr**** = outdoors). He came with me, pottered about then waited in café where we had tea and a Danish pastry. I had a panic when I went to pay. No bank card!! 
Because the food shop was over £100, I’d had to put my card in the machine and I’ve not done tgat for so long I forgot to take it out. Doh! Went straight back and it had already been handed safely to customer services. Phew!
Just coffee, this morning, with a friend. She didn’t know about ES until she emailed to arrange a catch up, so it was a bit emotional today. 
I didn’t want to go home after so I bought more takeaway sandwiches and tea and sat on a bench in town. (Again, I’d left him his lunch “just in case”.)
I’ve been enjoying the paralympics - especially the Boccia!! I’m obsessed with that. Tempted to steal OH’s wheelchair and find somewhere to play it. 
K&N tomorrow so there’s been something every day this week and i feel better for it. Only sewing and swimming next week so I’m constantly checking the weather for Colwyn Bay for my seaside day out. Decidedly cooler and damp here today so I hope I haven’t missed my chance. 
Determined to go though, before it gets dark too early even if it means walking on the beach in the rain!!
