Wow

 

As promised, I'm writing this in Tenerife. Costa Adeje to be precise. The weather thus far has been lovely, hopefully it'll continue to be warm and sunny. It's quite a posh hotel - bingo is played digitally on your phone! 

I was very much surprised the other day when I received a message from a friend. Not only a message but she PayPal'd some money to me to enable Ellie and I to enjoy a bottle of wine! I won't disclose who this lovely angel is as I don't think she'd want to be named, that's not her aim. She was simply sending us love which I thought was really amazing. Love with a drop of alcohol. Her only stipulation was to read the 5 daily reminders. To be honest I would have been touched to get this message let alone anything else. So, I've read them daily as implied and they are starting to sink in. I don't need to tell you want an amazing person the sender is and I promise you she is an incredibly special person. In all my life I've never met anyone like her. And I truly hope she'll always be in my life. 

Now it's time to talk about socks. If I'm repeating myself I apologise as my socks have been on my mind for awhile. I have a drawer full of socks, and it's not a small drawer it's a proper, proper drawer sized drawer. It's overflowing and I need to sort it. There are socks, there are trainer liners, there's tiny socks like trainer liners but tinier, there's hiking socks and bed socks and Christmas socks and holy socks (sorry, I mean hole-y). There's snuggly, soft socks. And the truth is I probably only wear half of them. At the side of the chest of drawers I have a pile of odd socks - the ones that seem to get separated in the wash socks. There must easily be at least 30 odd socks! I'm guessing when I go through them I might have a couple of pairs in there but most are without it's partner. Where the hell do they go?

I hope you all have a great weekend. And if you need to sort your sock drawer better do it before it gets out of hand. How many socks are too many socks? 

Love you, bye.
