Hanging on by a thread.

To my sanity that is. I have a twitch in my left eye, a sure sign in stressed.

Steve won't wear his hearing aids in the flat as he thinks "I just need to speak up". If I speak up any more the entire estate will hear me. Three times today I told him I'd already fed Beano but he fed him again anyway.

One of the residents has sanded down a garden bench and re-varnished it. He's done a good job and it looks great.

Not to be outdone another resident tried to persuade Steve to do the other bench with him. Having been blamed before for a job poorly done, by this neighbour, Steve refused. Said resident set to, lost interest after a very short time. We now have a bench in the garden that looks like it has leprosy. This is also causing Steve a great deal of stress.

Hope you can get out and about with family or a friend to give you a break and help you relax!

Here Mr is "Stressed" about E V e r y T h I ng - His words - I am b****y well stressed too - by him - Only thing I find useful now is to busy myself in any other room - Since his retirement and me wasting my time and energy trying to pacify him - I've given up - realising I'm out of my depth - and I don't feel guilty either x

BBQ in the garden.

Steve's in the garden, manning the BBQ, I did go over but the only seats left were in  the sun and it's 30 degrees. It's far too...
