    Thankfully I managed to mend the door. There’s a split in the wood surrounding it but it’s not too bad, a bit of filler might do the trick.

    Ouch to the collision with the door. It sounds as though the door came off worse than Mr SA. Is the heat affecting him?

    So sorry for your door. Have you thought of tying him to his chair in one place? :D

    Morning, happy hump day.

    WFH today. 

    Have just been out for a walk around the block just to start off the step count and get a bit of fresh air before I start work. I've got a dental appointment later this morning (ugh!) so another walk and a live FitSteps Dirty Dancing Special at 6pm.

    Still feels very warm but fresher than it has been. It will be better for working in today and better for Mr SA and the dog.

    Mr SA is a nightmare, he won't sit still for 5 minutes when the weather is good. He wants to be outside in it but the heat doesn't suit him. The trouble is when he's on the move he stumbles about everywhere, even when using his stick and frame. This is when the falls happen. He hasn't got the concentration span to read he either watches TV or just sits staring into space.

    It will be NSD 7/12, nothing to pay at the dentist as I'm on Denplan.
