Have been awake since about 4am after Mr SA woke me up crashing about in the hall. Laid in bed for a bit watching the sun rise and listening to the birds singing. This was the view from my bed. The sunrise looked redder than it does on the photo. Gone cloudy now though.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

4am is far too early for me
I struggled with 6am this morning!!4 -
Happy Friday 🥳🥂
I thought the week would drag with it being the first full one for a while but it’s flown by. Been really busy though.I’ve been down to Tesco this morning, picked up a Euros T-shirt for Mr SA, they didn’t have any in Lidl yesterday. Also got the book they do with The Mail, I always buy these unless they’re really not my thing. This one looks good A Day at the Beach Hut by Veronica Henry, short stories and recipes inspired by seaside life. I’ve read her books before, nice light easy reads. I’ve just finished The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn, it was good, lots of twists, wanted to read the book before I watch the film on Netflix (I think?).
I wondered what the pool of water on the path was last night, Mr SA said he’d left the hosepipe on. It was there again this morning so investigated to find Mr SA had crashed his scooter into a drainpipe and completely broke it in two 😩 So the water from the kitchen sink and dishwasher are going onto the garden path instead of down the drain 😩 He’s assured me he has a spare piece of drainpipe and will fix it. Bangs head against brick wall.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
We watched that film the other week. It was a good watch.

Goodness Mr SA is lethal with that scooter. He needs an exclusion zone around it to stop him damaging people or stationary objects.

Still not heard from the odd job man. I’m not chasing him up. I wish people would be honest if they can’t get. Mr SA currently has his drill and screwdriver on charge 😱 In other news he made a right dog’s dinner of the drainpipe repair. He ended up going to the local hardware store for a new piece. It doesn’t look too bad, it’s doing it’s job so far.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
