Things can only get better

Does sound a bit nuts. Poor Robins! and poor you in the middle of it all

I now have an image of your garden set up like something out of Wipeout!

I'm sorry about Mr SA falling and about him breaking the bench. Hopefully the walking frame will help, but only if he uses it! He shouldn't wear pool sandals in the garden of course but I'm sure you've told him that many times. He doesn't help himself does he?

It sounded like a tiring afternoon with the GKs but it must be lovely to have them and see them . Did DGS like his wooden garage?

I hope you have a good Sunday.

If a person has poor balance for whatever reason there is a limited amount that can be done to help it.
Mine seems to go through wee phases of being relatively ok & then being dire.
That is having physio at least once a fortnight & having attended a falls clinic & using a stick most of the time.

he was wearing a pair of pool sandals when he fell - I know!!!!! The garden is 100ft long and he puts obstacles there himself, such as he leaves the hose pipe all over. He just gets up to all this stuff while I'm at work, drives me nuts.

:eek: I expect you have eyes in the back of your head. Several pairs.Could you hire him out to Health and Safety courses for the bit where people have to spot the hazards?

Just caught up with your diary. I'm so pleased to hear that Mr SA's results confirmed he is clear. I was heartened to read that he announced a cut back on the beer but then you reported he has lapsed......:(

Such a shame about his mobility but you've had soon good advice on here. I'd hide the pool sandals though!:eek:

Sorry - the kamikaze robins made me smile......

Have a good weekend SA - more wine and gin is required methinks!:)

Sorry to hear about the falls and the broken furniture.

Hope today is more relaxing than yesterday. Must be something in the air, I’ve been writing ‘To Do’ lists too Xx

Happy Sunday folks

I think Beanie's hit the nail on the head re balance issues. He's had several referrals to physio and the falls clinic but they admit there's not a lot they can do.

Anyway first thing first - I've booked Lanzarote for September :j:j I've been pricing up various dates/options depending on when DD can get a week off work to look after the dog and to make sure I don't clash with my co-worker as we can't leave the big chiefs PA-less it would be chaos We're going back to a hotel we've stayed in before 3 times and we know is suitable for a scooter, has a fantastic sea view and is right in the centre. It was just as cheap to go all inclusive, although we will only use it for breakfast, lunch and the odd drink. Remembered to book the insurance straight afterwards this time. Something in the pipeline to look forward to anyway

I'll probably book a week off in the summer too if I get wind of a hot sunny week coming up, then I'm off for a long weekend for my birthday in August.

Finances done, will be a tight last week of the budget but it's payday on Friday. VSP is £265.96, got another £13 on its way from TCB and will make it up to £300 by the end of the 4 week budget period if it's not quite there.

Went to a local food and craft fair this morning - on my own as Mr SA didn't want to go. It was ok but not worth the £1 entrance fee they charged, didn't buy anything, I was only there about 20 minutes.

Weather has been a bit mix and match today, raining then sunny. Very humid though. At least the robins haven't had to scare us off today

GS was going to a butterfly farm today for his birthday treat so will ring later to see if he liked his wooden car park.

Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday so far

Good news on the Lanzarote booking. Something tangible to look forward to and as you've been there before all will be fine for Mr SA. Sounds like an excellent price too.

Is it just the two of you going away for your birthday or more of a family trip?

Hope DGS had a lovely time at the butterfly farm and he likes his present.

Yay to another holiday to look forward to Xx
