    I’m impressed you only had 1 call from Mr S and that you had a relaxing day.

    Friday eve :)

    Mr SA not at his best today, one of his eyes not opening properly and he's extra confused :(

    Went for a run in the gym at lunchtime today. Budgets clinging on but should be on target which is a minor miracle.

    Glad it's Friday tomorrow :j

    Thank goodness it's Friday :j

    Unfortunately Mr SA had a bad fall today in the garden. Knocked the fence over between ours and next door :( He's not too bad at the moment, a bit shaken though. Honestly he's not fit to leave on his own.

    Good weather forecast for the weekend and no GKs coming so hoping to spend some time in the garden. I'm not a natural gardener, I like to see a nice garden but not keen on the work involved and I'm never sure whether it's a plant or a weed - I am trying though :)

    Mr SA falling over must be massively stressful for you SA. And he broke a fence. Blimey. Hefty.

    Hope you get in the garden for the weekend :)

    And I know EXACTLY what you mean re gardening.

    Sorry to hear Mr SA hasn’t been too good. Hope the fence can be fixed cheaply.

    Have a good weekend Xx
