Prynhawn da SSiW family! I really hope that each and every one of you are keeping safe and well. We seem to be enjoying glorious weather in the UK at the moment, which helps a great deal. Spring is alive and kicking all around us and the cuckoo has returned here to North Wales.

One garden border fully dug over.

Not having to make excuses for doing everything in slow motion.
5) What’s the happiest song you know?
‘Why’, by Anthony Newley. It would be considered pretty cheesy by today’s standards, but I first heard it in 19…er…summing when I was a kid, and even today it still cheers me up when I listen to it.

What is the answer to the meaning of life? 42
1) What do you have this week that you didn’t have last week?
An understanding of how to hand spread pizza dough. We managed to make some very very tasty pizzas on Thursday and not a rolling pin in sight!!
2) In which way have you surprised yourself this week?
Last weekend I managed to run 15km, which was very surprising!
3) Considering some items are difficult to come by, what would you trade me for half a dozen eggs, three fingers of blended whiskey and a sachet of bread sauce?
I’d just be looking for your eggs, but I have some lovely 00 Italian flour. Perfect for pizzas
4) Finish this sentence - as crazy as it sounds, I’m really enjoying…
running! I’ve really enjoyed picking up the kilometres whilst also trying to get faster. I’ve beaten my 5km and 10km records. Still a way off my targets but it’s been really fun to do some non-gym based fitness.
5) What’s the happiest song you know?
There are many that make me smile. The single happiest song is a tough one to answer. I love “Here comes the sun” by Steve Harley, and “Sebona Fi” by Yws Gwynedd. Songs I love to sing along to or have on when I’m doing something like clean the house: “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner, “From Now On” from The Greatest Showman, “High School Never Ends” Bowling for soup, “The Best” Tina Turner, loads!
