    Mr SA still in bed feeling rough but I'm ok. He's moaning about not being able to paint today but I think it's a blessing in disguise.

    Should be NSD 1/15 today, no plans to go anywhere other than walk the dog.

    So glad I made the decision to break up from work last Friday instead of Tuesday. Going to pack the holiday toiletries tomorrow then if I need to buy anything I can pick it up on Wednesday when I go to have my nails done. Hoping for a nice relaxing day today just pottering and reading my book.

    Mr SA is talking about having roast pork for his dinner tonight so must be feeling better.

    Just took the dog out again, we walked round the local streets, it's so quiet today, like a ghost town, hardly anyone about.

    Made a list of everything in the freezer and a meal plan to take us up to holiday.

    Mr SA's scooter has been booked to be delivered to the hotel Thursday afternoon.

    Weather has been gloomy all day but mild and mostly dry.

    And last but not least NSD 1/15 :)

    Just a quick update to say, after spending all day in bed watching F1 and the Blaze channel, Mr SA is up and drinking beer. So he can't be that bad!

    No work tomorrow - happy days :j:beer::j

    Happy days indeed :)

    Is Mr SA's scooter a Mobility one or did you buy it?
    Apologies if I have asked this before.

    Beanie it's on Motability. Didn't want to buy one outright as he doesn't look after it and it's forever going in for repair which is included in the scheme. For holidays he hires one in resort.

    Mr SA still not 100%. He's feeling sorry for himself and announced "what's happening to me". Told him it's just a bug for goodness sake! To say how poorly he was 4 years ago, and how he miraculously recovered, he's such a wimp with little things like this. Man flu!!

    Just watching the news and the awful shootings in Las Vegas :(

    I know, the news is horrible isn't it? Oh I'm sorry Mr SA is ill, although yes I think it probably is a blessing in disguise if it means no more paint on your coat!!
