    Have you thought how you are going to be able to stop Mr SA going exploring in the loft with the new access?
    Don’t make me think about it 😬🤣 To be honest I’m hoping he won’t try as he’s not very stable on ladders 🫣

    Day 2 of the Busy Week done ✔️ 

    Worked in the office until 1pm then met my friend for a catch up and book swap. It was lovely to chat and relax for a couple of hours. 

    Got back home and Mr SA was complaining about his very stressful day. He thought he had a nurse appointment for 10am which turned out to be 9am. This upset his IBD so he had to go back home and rearrange the appointment. Then he had a bad headache all afternoon. Honestly I feel like I can’t leave him on his own! 

    And he still doesn’t know I’m out for the day on Friday 😬

    The waterproof/snow boots arrived last night and they’re just what I was hoping for. Will see how they fare when it next rains and/or gets icy. 

    Today’s exercise was walking to/from work. Tonight’s dinner was veg chilli with potato wedges.
