    Refund received from Mr M.

    My passion flower has grown a fruit for the first time ever. Google says remove it as it saps the energy. Technically edible apparently but tasteless. However this plant has had aspirations to be a bindweed this summer and has wrapped itself around several other plants so I guess it has plenty of energy 😆

    Good productivity and charity shop find, love a pleasing glass.

    Bah to the scooter seat. Is there somewhere you can submit a complaint to, as they do not seem to be on the side of disabled people and their carers. The length of time you waited was ridiculous without it being returned broken!

    Hope Mr SA seems better soon, is it possible he's got jetlag? I know you shouldn't usually get it Ibiza-Britain but as the part of his brain that deals with time passing seems to be impaired, maybe he suffers from small time shifts worse than others?

    There’s only a 1 hour time difference but flying even just for 2 and a bit hours is tiring given the faff either side. He wouldn’t have his usual afternoon nap either which hasn’t helped.

    The scooter seat must’ve been either broken on return or on its way out as he only used it once. It’s happened before so hopefully it’s a quick adjustment type fix.
