Sending sympathy to your knees and dignity! At least the litter was clean, that's a silver lining (well, grey and chalky round the edges of the conservatory 😁)
Hope you all have as good an evening as can be, well done for your rapid hostessing response1 -
If it's any consolation I pick axed my shin whilst tidying up earlier but the gash is offset by nice sunshine on my short clad legs.
I hope the evening went well and gave them both some comfort.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

Thanks @PennysIntoPounds, @beanielou 😊
Owwwww! @redofromstart - wowsers! Is your tetanus current?
It went okay. MiL seems much less stressed than when she has been here before, always with FiL. We walked the garden in the rain ☔️ and chatted about this and that and what I am doing out there. She loved the LCs and their catio ❤️ and then she got lost in my shelf of craft books …. 😉 Overall I think it went well 😊

It's a scrape rather than a hole happily, it'll be fine. I applied some cold water and kitchen towel after all.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

How’s your leg this morning? My knees are functioning again, albeit stiffly. I think the anti inflammatories and anti histamines (I have a hawthorn fly bite on my elbow as well 🙄) helped 😊redofromstart said:It's a scrape rather than a hole happily, it'll be fine.

Really foggy here this morning. Can barely see the garden.KKAs at 15.08.25:

Glad the visit from MiL went well. I'm sure it must have been a nice distraction for her (and Mr KK) too being away from her own home.
