In the office today and the first phone call from Mr SA was to say the living room door has come off its hinges 😩 This is the fairly new door that he fell into and yanked completely off just a few weeks after it was fitted! It’s never fitted properly since.I’m finishing work at lunchtime to go for a drink with a colleague who’s retiring today.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

It was only the one but it was nice to catch up. The pub is by the canal and OMG I’ve never seen it so high!While I was in the pub Mr SA rang again to say he couldn’t fix the door 😞 However by the time I got home he’d fixed it in a fashion but it now doesn’t close!Stopped by Lid! on the way home for a couple of things.Got home and jumped straight in the bath. The dog got in after me so she’s nice and clean now.Having a stir fry for tonight’s dinner. Exercise was 21,000 steps walking to/from work.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Fortunately we live at the top of a hill 3 miles from the nearest river but my workplace is a stone’s throw away from where the river has burst its banks. Some places just a few miles away have been badly affected.EssexHebridean said:Hoping you’ve not been to badly affected by all the flooding SA - it really is quite a situation up your way isn’t it.Hopefully by now you are enjoying your very well deserved drink…s!
