    Ouch! 😖. Sorry to hear of Mr SA's fall. He must be one big bruise lately!  Hope you're both not too shaken up.

    Sounds like the bedroom is getting there SA.  Ouch to Mr SA falling again and to  messing up the curtain pole.  You gave him a chance but probably best to get a professional in from now on.  He obviously has difficulty accepting his limitations now.  Sad but you don't need the aggro of sorting out bodge jobs.

    Happy Monday ☀️

    Just been out for a walk in the glorious sunshine before starting my working day. Warm already.

    Today will be NSD3 of June. At a bit of a standstill with the bedroom until the furniture arrives tomorrow. DD is going to have the chest of drawers that were previously in our bedroom and are too big now. They’re in really good condition so it would’ve been a shame to skip them.

    Tonight’s dinner is butternut squash dhal left over from Saturday. Cleaning is the kitchen. Have messaged the odd job bloke to see if he can do the pole and bracket. If he can’t there are a couple of others to try. 

    Trying to incorporate some strength training into my workouts to see if I can get myself a bit stronger.

    I ordered a Moroccan style mirror online, it’s just arrived but has a massive crack right across the glass 😩 This bedroom will get finished one day!
