So, Wednesday…I was up on time, but I did sit in my armchair with my dirty cuppa reading a daily newspaper on Readly. Still time-consuming, it doesn’t take up as…

After a relatively active Sunday, I did think I’d be in agony Monday morning. But I wasn’t. Always good to start the day with a bonus. Even better to start…
