Underused

This morning when checking her e-mails SWMBO announced that my "Weesback" is being delivered tomorrow.
My what?????
"Your weesback"!
After racking my brain I asked  "Do you mean my beeswax?".
"Yes".
After I explained what she was actually saying she collapsed laughing (she actually spat her mouthful of tea out).
It isn't often she finds it funny that her brain sometimes cannot get to grips with words she wants to say since her stroke - but this morning she found it hilarious and every now and again later she would still break into a snigger.
It was good to see.

The picture is of the climbing frame/tower at the local playpark, taking on our morning stroll.
The Cygnet was the first member of the public to use it when he was 4 or 5.
We were passing when it was all still fenced off and there were a couple of Council workers checking all the equipment and tightening some nuts.
asked what they were doing and when the park was going to open. The 'boss' came over and explained it was the last check and it would be opened soon. The two of them them got into conversation about the climbing frame/slide and the man explained that the rope frame going up to the top of the slide was made in Germany from one length of rope and it was him who had designed it.
Squirrel asked if would be safe and the man said 'Yes' but it might be an idea to actually try it out buy he should be the first one 'just in case he had got something wrong'. As he set off to start his climb he told the other guy to open the fence and let us in so the kids could be the first 'customers'.
He was a fairly 'robust chap but got up to the side no problem.
We;; - when he came down the slide he shot out the bottom like a bullet out of a gun, flew off the end, bounced on the bark put down as a soft surface and ended up with his legs over the boundary of the park.
I found it rather funny - but worrying at the same time. He was unhurt and had a think about whether the boundary needed to be moved further away ... but decided it probably didn't as he was bigger and a lot heavier than the people who would be using it. SO ....off went the Cygnet and after a bit of direction about how to climb up he managed and was the first member of the public to do so.
