Friend Makin’ Mondays – Five Things ….

Another Monday and the first one in February, where is the time disappearing to?

Following a chilled weekend I managed to be more productive today and tick (well half tick!) another February goal off my list. I attended a health check appointment at my Doctors Surgery. It will be interesting to see what the Doctor has to say at the follow up in a few weeks time.

Anyway, now onto FMM ….

Each floor is designed by a different designer, architect or artist including all the corridors and lift areas.
