Look what I got!!!!

First up from Jan – thank you so much for this imperial cat. Utterly scrumptious and rather imposing, I’m sure you’ll all agree!!!

Secondly, from the Sailor, who, like Jan, understands my longing for a feline friend, and who has two lovely cats – Mia and Kittensies. Here is Kittensies, making full use of the bed…

And here’s my cushion. Nuff said!

Motivation on Sunday? Just gearing up for my walk. Every day. Must walk. Stride out ladies. We sit in front of that monitor screen for far too many hours each day. WE NEED OUR EXERCISE.

And to get you in the mood – here’s my favourite recipe for that ‘stiff gin’ I talked about, which you can reward yourself with when you arrive home. If mobility is a problem, do chair exercises until you know you’ve done enough – no shirking either way!!!! You know better than me when enough is enough, but get those muscles working every single day.

GIN DELIGHT: Elderflower cordial over ice – and plenty of it. A good slug of gin. A slice of lime. Don’t be mean – squeeze that sucker -( just don’t suck it, unless bitter’s your thing)…then top with soda water and stir. Pop a straw into the glass and siphon it up.

You can use fancy gin, but unless I’m mixing a martini, of which more another time, I use a bog standard gin, as the elderflower, or whatever I happen to be using in a long drink, tends to overpower the subtlety of an expensive gin (of which more in another post)

Love to all on this fabulous Sunday up here on the Yorkshire moors,

Susan xx
