    Is it possible for you to keep the key or is he using the scooter without you around? Hope you enjoyed your cocktail.
    Until I get him a lanyard it’s staying in the  back of my purse with the safe key. He isn’t really ‘with it’ enough to use the scooter without me being around. I didn’t get a cocktail but enjoyed a gin later.

    Sorry about your day. Maybe it's a stress reaction from Mr SA?

    I would see about a laundrette or just using hotel laundry this once, and ask reception for a fresh towel for you. I'm sure they'll have spares.

    The common denominator in his tummy upsets seems to be stress or physical effort. I think he’s out of his comfort zone away from home. 

    I would be too embarrassed to send his things to a hotel laundry but will look out for a launderette. 

    The hotel brings fresh towels every day so I’ll manage this once. Today I’ll hide a couple of towels just for myself so it doesn’t happen again.

    It must be incredibly difficult as you are not getting any form of a break when that's what you so desperately need.

    Hope you manage an uneventful day x

    I can certainly see the stress link, though I wonder if there might be an infection as well. I really, really, really hope things improve for the rest of your holiday.

    Would something like this help? https://www.ageukincontinence.co.uk/incontinence-shop/incontinence-by-gender/mens-incontinence-products/washable-pants-for-men/men-s-protective-pant-x-large-black.html  It won't absorb it so you'd still need the pad and anything else you use, but it might help contain it enough to protect his clothing whilst you get somewhere to change?

    I hope you manage to get a rest and relax at some point!
