My laugh for today. So I ordered my nephew this car he liked as part of his Christmas present. I’ve got him cars previous years, they’ve all been F1 kits that he loves making. I thought this was the same thing. When it arrived & I seen the size I laughed for 5 mins πŸ˜‚ 1)

Happy Monday! Just seen my knee surgeon for review after my tkr. He was very happy with my progress, said I’d done so well considering how bad my knee was before surgery. Hubby & I then went out for a quick lunch at a local Turkish cafe. We had this yummy Gozleme πŸ˜‹πŸ₯°
