{walking} because I can’t run. The pain level in my back/ leg is manageable if I take painkillers regularly, but that leaves me without my exercise outlet.

Unless you’re Small, Smallest or Tigerboy, who all thought it was inedible. Cat was happy though 😉 {watching} Warehouse 13 Season 5 which has popped (back) up on Netflix. It’s a bit strange. And there’s only…

{looking at} maps. Lots of maps. And starting a board on Pinterest. where I now have a business account, but as it won’t let me verify my website, I don’t think it makes a great deal of difference. Do let me know if you’ve any creative boards I can follow though 🙂 {sitting} in my…
