    Hope you manage to repair the light…..I’d be tempted to find it a safer place to live where Mr SA can’t knock it over.

    There isn’t really anywhere else it can go. It’s a set of three and they look so nice in the fireplace when they’re lit up. I’ve glued it together it’s setting now 🤞

    Aargh Mr SA has now broken the grabber stick I bought him 2 weeks ago. I’ve lost count of how many that is now. He crashed his scooter into a bench on the park this lunchtime just because he was distracted and not looking where he was going 😫 Then he suddenly decided he wanted some GB stickers for his scooter and was going to set off for a local car spares shop. Told him they’d be expensive in there and I’d order from Amazon. He kicked off a bit, he doesn’t want to wait for delivery he wants them now. Eventually made him see reason and Amazon it is. Honestly it’s like having a blooming giant toddler 😳
    They have changed it now. He needs UK not GB.

    In fact you have reminded me we need to get some new number plates made for the van at some point as well.

    I told him that but he insisted on GB. It’s only his mobility scooter he doesn’t go out of the country on it 😆 I have no idea why he feels he must have them all of a sudden. He sits there scrolling through his phone looking for things to buy. Talking of phones he has just informed me ‘everything’ has disappeared on his phone 😩

    Would losing the internet on his phone be a good thing? Maybe L plates for the scooter would be more appropriate 😬

    🤣🤣 Unfortunately he also has a Kindle that he uses for the internet. He definitely needs L plates for that scooter or a danger sign 🤣 It's a frightening thought that he thinks he should be able to have his driving licence back.

    Happy hump day ☺

    Should be NSD 4/15 today, no plans to spend anything today. 

    Nice sunny day out there so shall be off out for a walk shortly. Now the mornings are darker first thing, I've decided to log on to work for a bit until it gets light then take some time out for a walk. I work flexible hours so can take breaks whenever it's convenient. I'll take the dog on the park across the road for a ball run after lunch then do a Pilates session after work.

    No work meetings in my calendar today - bliss. Hoping to be able to cross a few things off my work to do list.

    Today's cleaning tasks are sort out my herbs/spices/ingredients cupboard, mop the floors and clean the bathroom. Having a stir fry for tonight's dinner. Got a portion of the veggie meatballs for lunch, won't bother making them again, they're ok but not worth the faff.

    The dog woke me up just before 4am to go out, she can knock that on the head, that's 2 days running.

    Have a good one 😎
