Hmm, I can be @Birdofparadise8
I like to cook, and we like good food but don’t go out much, we prefer time at home together as opposed to going out for dinner, save our money for occasions so that when we do go out we can go somewhere really nice. We also struggle to get care for our kids without family nearby….

Same diff indeed; we have study units in gardening at university, and the guy who has been doing my lawn for the last decade had mentioned in the past that part of his essential theoretical reading before becoming a gardener was the foundations of practice in Occupational Therapy, I’m sure 😉🙌🏻 @ArraDreaming 😀

[ArraDreaming]
