    Glad the cat's vet trip went well.   MrSA's very early pub lunch suggestion with you and the cat made me smile.  I do appreciate that it's probably far less amusing for you having to manage his expectations!

  • What a pain about the breakages. I'm frustrated on your behalf.
    Lovely that you had a good outing seeing people though, and when you retire your pumpkin coach will have extended parking hours!

    Glad you had a nice time with colleagues.  Sorry to hear about the breakages.

    I didn’t have to go back to work just that I have to get back for Mr SA 😞
