    Got a couple of friends coming over this weekend for a Marvel marathon. Think we're going to watch the Iron Man series. :smiley:

    Today we got another washing machine delivered this time with its transit bolts (thanks Sophie!), and a second ironing press to make light work of our b&b's laundry. Might go out in the boat and net some fish this afternoon. The sea is as flat as glass.

    Earlier I got some super fruit and veg bargains at Alcudia's market so this weekend we'll be making some great food! :p

    Happy birthday @BubblesGoesBoo! Hope you have lovely day and nice time away :) 
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Meeting friend tonorrow. Quite excited :) 
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Since my hospitalisation from a nasty cellulitis infection, my doctor gave me the all clear and ceased the antibiotics. Also after three ecg tests, I was weaned off the beta blockers. So I'm loads better now and can continue my gym routine. At last, all's good.

    Been given a military grade anti-insect repellant to spray on my legs. The mixture combined with a pleasant high SPF to ward off dangerous sun's rays, it's not as hard on my skin as I expected.

    Another nice bit of news is The Musicians Union have sorted my complaint, enforced that massive refund I was due and also my agent has got me some nice concerts. I feel great!  =)

    I'm planning on going to the library soon. Hopefully having some new books to focus on will help to improve my mood, although I've enjoyed being at home anyway  :)

    28C with humidity of 80%. Outside it's an oven. Inside though, it's bliss. =)

    Hey @Aife, Thank you!! My birthday was a tricky one sadly but cake and beer to end the day. Unicorn cake was a Friday find in the end. You are correct it's a lovely cake. Maybe a red velvet cupcake might beat it later tonight? Hope your well.
