    I hope the coffee and a wander worked out well. It strikes me as the perfect mini-escape.

    PS. Could you tell Mr SA that replacing broken items comes out of his beer money?

    Would giving Mr SA a list of jobs to do during the day stop him getting bored?

    He won’t do housework, he says it’s women’s work, yet when he was well, he always did the cleaning if he had a day off work and he always used to help me blitz the house at the weekend. 

    Since he does not like "womens work" wold it be worth getting anyone within earshot to say how good it is that you have a girlie seat for the garden - that may put him off trying to use it  :smiley::smiley:

    Love the idea of telling him it’s a girlie chair 👍 Bet it doesn’t work though 😏

    Pink covers and cushions? I hope he is ok after his fall but you must get so fed up with his antics. At least the chair survived.

    Your step count is amazing.

    Glad your meeting went well - you're a high flyer now!

    I second pink cushions for the chair. :)

    I like your style. In fact a cattle prod could come in very useful for most of us too 😬
