My money is on the keys being in yesterday's coat pocket.2

Finally he found the keys down the side of his chair, one of the places I suggested and he assured me he’d checked 😐
Thank goodness for that! I feel like putting his keys on an enormous key ring that he can’t accidentally mislay.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Can you put a tracker on his keyring?What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?2

It’s been a glamour filled day for me today. Knee deep in sludge in the pond with a spade and a bucket wearing Mr SA’s size 12 wellies. Don’t ask!
Didn’t you just know I was going to end up finishing off Mr SA’s project 😐
I think I’ve done all I can as I started to disturb frogs who were happily wallowing in the sludge. Mr SA is going to start filling the pond back up tomorrow and set the pump up to clear the water. Or maybe I’ll be doing that job. The huge pile of sludge I’ve extracted will be used at the bottom of planters as I’m sure it must be rich in nutrients.Found 7 of the dog’s balls at the bottom of the pond!This morning we went to the big Mr T with the soft plastics recycling and walked the dog at the same time.The GK’s were meant to be coming but the visit was cancelled as DIL was unwell. Not seen them since January.I was covered in sludge after the pond clearing so had an early bath. I can already feel a twinge at the bottom of my back so expecting to be sore tomorrow.Tonight’s dinner is veggie burger, wedges and salad. Prosecco has been chilling in the fridge since first thing.Oh and happy March 🙂I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Oh my life, @Sun_Addict, I should think those size 12 wellies just about came up to your ears! Sounds like quite a day. Hopefully a hot bath might have helped with twinges, but I expect you'll still be achy tomorrow. Hope it's not too bad.

Frogs and the dog's balls - what a day! At least there's free sludge for the planters (or compost).
Happy March and have a good evening.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
