Workout of the day
This week’s blog posts have been sponsored by Sash shots (follow that good C**T on IG), Oppo, Watson and Fraser! Who doesn’t like a week full of three dogs.

We are closing in, not only to the weekend but unfortunately to the scabby change of time. The clocks going back to ensure that it’s dark when you go to work and dark when you come home.
The good news about the whole bullshit though is that you get an extra hour in bed (unless of course you are on a night shift - then life truly sucks) and… it is another day closer to the legendary time of year when they go forward again.
