    I'm not one for heat, as you know but that is a lovely photo. Glad to hear Mr SA managed to get himself up. Important for him to keep his arms strong to help with that.
    Back in your home county, I can tell you that it's dry, but thick grey clouds & getting very windy. You are defo not missing anything weather-wise.

    Beautiful sunset.

    I hope Mr SA is okay (and you too). It's seems positive in that he could get himself up again. I suppose that depends partly on how he falls, but the fact he could do it is cheering news.
