Good morning everyone 🌞 I was supposed to sleep a bit longer this morning, but Grant has hurt his back - sciatica it looks like - so I got up and took over when I heard him groaning and yelping downstairs 😊 I have sciatica myself and I know it can be painful when it flares up.

So, I'm sitting with Ziggy now, not fully awake yet, and contemplating the work day ahead. And, it's to be a warm one I believe after a zero degrees start. They are talking around 17-18 C for here! Quite a change, but I could believe it after we had sun, wind, rain, hail and snow on Sunday there 😊

Right, Ziggy is demanding "Come! Come!" and I need to get ready for work and have a very large coffee to wake up properly first!

Remember, it's the last week to enter my latest competition to win a customer crochet toy as I'll be drawing the winner on Friday.

Have a very lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗
