That’s Friday done.The big work job didn’t materialise 🥳 I believe someone found a way to automate the spreadsheet rather than manual input 🤞
Managed my early finish I didn’t think would happen at one stage.Finished my current book which was slated on Good Reads but I couldn’t put it down, I really enjoyed it.Had a lovely soak in the bath with a face mask on. Put the dog in it after me as she has a vet check up tomorrow. The bath really livened her up and she’s been running around like a puppy ever since 🤣
Tonight’s dinner was lightly dusted yellowfin sole with potato wedges and steamed veg.Will be putting my feet up with a G&T shortly.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
If its any comfort you will quite often find me looking out of the bedroom window in the early hours when I need to get up for the loo. In my case I am usually looking for foxes.1

I do the same. It is usually for burglars though!

For me it's the moon or the aurora. No street lighting so I hear what I imagine are hedgehogs but it's too dark to see unless I put the house lights on, which I imagine would scare them.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Forgot to say the wheelchair Mr SA has had on loan since 2013 has been picked up at my request. To be fair it came in handy for me both times I broke my leg (not the same leg) more than he used it. I’m not planning to break my leg again now both have had a turn 🤞🤣He still needs a wheelchair but it must be lightweight and easy for me to push and fold up. The one on loan was self propelled and very heavy and cumbersome. We will need to buy one before DS’s wedding, he won’t be able to stand for long. A lightweight one would also be handy if we need to go anywhere via bus or train.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1
