    Forgot to say Mr SA has some cream from the hospital to put on his face scab that was pre-cancerous. It has to be kept in the fridge. He covered it in harissa paste by mistake 😬

    Happy Friday 🥳

    That’s work done for another week. Worked in the office today but finished early. 

    Mr SA is driving me nuts. He’s got another bee in his bonnet about getting his drivers licence back. He just thinks it would be a case of him phoning them up. In reality he’d have to go to an assessment centre in the next county and prove he is able to drive safely. Then he’s entirely overlooked the cost of buying a car, the expense of running it plus having a car wouldn’t magically make him able to walk so he’d need a folding scooter. Where does he think the extra money is going to come from. I’m trying to cut down on bills not add to them 😩

    I’m trying to keep out of his way as I don’t want to argue about something that’s not going to happen. 

    It’s so warm today, I can’t believe this time last week it was snowing!
