Mug Muffin

No gym for JR this morning, as she had a morning session at the nail bar instead. It’s not something she usually indulges in, but felt she deserved professional treatment for all these posh champagne glasses she’ll be chinking next week.

I took Archie round the block, but happened to co-incide with the primary school coming out, most of them decked in tin foil helmets and shields. I think they’ve been studying the Romans, maybe…

JR then made a banana & blueberry ‘mug muffin’*. Our pal in NZ reminded us of these delicious breakfast treats. Takes 90 seconds in the microwave, and just pops out. 

I then watched another episode of ‘Better Call Saul’ - just reminding myself of what happened so that I can carry on with the next seasons. JR and Archie had a walk to Astley Ainsley hospital grounds, which are looking splendid with all the rhododendrons in bloom.

Hazel came over in the afternoon to go over the travel arrangements and to get our boarding passes organised. I baulked at £6 each for ‘Fast Track’ boarding… Hazel laughed and said I reminded her of her father, who was always very generous with money, but would want 20p back for putting air in her tyres. I’m spending a small fortune on this holiday, but I would rather stand in a queue for hours than spending an extra £6? (Each way.) 

So we’re booking ‘Fast Track’…
