Happy Friday to you too Beanie 😁
Mr SA took his dog to the park on his scooter this morning. Got a call from him saying he was stranded half way down a hill, his scooter had broken down. Had to abandon my Joe Wicks workout and go and rescue the dog. He was on a different road to the one he'd told me so had a bit of a panic 😒 The scooter breakdown got him a taxi home and are picking up the scooter and bringing it back here. At least I got a good workout walking up a very steep hill back home.
The day can only get better....

Yes it does Beanie, it was a fuse last time. It's not charging up at the moment which is what happened before.
Well Mr SA won't be going anywhere for the foreseeable as the scooter shop is closed until the end of the month. He has been offered free taxis to do his shopping but as he doesn't go shopping that won't be necessary. He's ok with it as he knows he shouldn't really be going out.
Well that's work done for the week, earlier finish today. Sounds like Sunday is going to be a nice day so will get some gardening done. Once I've been to the local shops tomorrow I'll be giving the house a good clean. Only need to go to Mr T Express so shouldn't be too bad. The rest of the things I need can wait until a weekday when it's not so busy.

I hope Mr SA gets his scooter fixed soon . Good job you were at home to come to the rescue. The shops I went to today were well stocked, so hopefully your shopping will all come. The exercise is going well for you .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.7

Thanks all xx
Did a freezer inventory and have meal planned until the next online shop. Will only need a few bits mainly fresh stuff so that’s a weight off my mind.The neighbour I go to WW with phoned tonight. She is still going out despite being over 70 and past history of stroke and ongoing diabetes. It’s what she wants to do to keep herself sane. I’m still noticing a lot of older ones out and about, it’s what they like to do, I don’t think the virus will stop them especially if they’re fit and well.
My insanity instructor is doing a live workout on You Tube on Sunday so will have a go. I love it how there are all these online things to keep us going. Whatever it takes to get through 🙏I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7
