It’s only that tidy because it’s a new shed. How long it lasts like that is another matter.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s intolerant to something. I think it might be gluten as he has a lot of bread and it’s also in beer. He doesn’t have much milk but he eats cheese so it could be lactose.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2 -
Went to the park with a nursery and bought some plants. They had some great bargains, some of the plants were only £1. They grow all their own stuff in peat free compost and everything is very well looked after.
Finally got rid of Mr SA’s old drills 🥳 He wasn’t too happy about it though.
After that stopped at Aldee. I picked up a few different things they don’t sell in Lidl!. I haven’t been able to get veg stock cubes in Lidl! for some time but they had loads in there so picked up a couple of packs. I also got a replacement pair of short wellies as my old pair leak.
I got most of the jobs done on my list. Everything else can roll over until tomorrow, I’ve had enough now.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
We discovered this secret garden at the back of one of the park’s greenhouses.

I think you have made the right decision to WFH on Monday, Greenbee makes a good point about making a list in advance of the items you want to mention, questions to ask. Do you keep any sort of diary of his accidents? They could find this useful.

SA can't tell from photo, but I am concernd that shelving might not be fixed to walls, mental picture of Mr SA blundering about in there and bringing the whole lot down on himself, or liadinf it up with junk so it is not stable, perhaps your DS could have a look, or ask your nice shed man about it. I mention it 'cos I have seen it happen.Take care.x

Yes I’d had colonoscopies previously but when they wanted to do an endoscopy also, I insisted on a general anaesthetic.

That’s why his stuff is in the tool boxes in front of the shelving. He also has a toolbox he keeps in the house. He doesn’t garden or paint so there’s nothing on the shelves he’d need. At the moment he’s struggling to get in the shed at all as it’s too high a step up for him. The shed man is coming back after his holiday so I’m going to ask him to put a step up to the shed.

Forgot to say a woman shopping at the park nursery asked me for some advice about plants 🤣 I had to admit to her I didn’t know much and just bought plants and hoped for the best 😆 I did mention the staff in the nursery are extremely knowledgeable so to ask them.
