Saphy making herself comfortable ready for a good night’s sleep. Little does she know she is not getting one because that is my pillow she is on. In about 90 seconds she is getting relegated to the foot of the bed. Amber is in the room but not in the photo as she is in […]

I walked down to the end of the hydro road and back today. It was 0.7 miles there and back so that is me somewhat on the way to my target of “five miles by Christmas”. It has been a nice day and after babying me back to the house, J went on a further […]

I managed to rescue a little robin from Saphy today. She had brought it in to the house and was crouching over it in a menacing fashion. I picked it up and could feel it moving so I shut Saphy in the room and took the robin outside. I stood with it on the palm […]

I am walking pretty well in my shoes now, although I do not officially discard the boot entirely until next week (ten weeks after my revision operation). I walked most of the way down to the main road along the “hydro road” (which is what R and I call the bit they tarmacked when they […]

R recently went to a conference in Slovenia. He managed not to visit the famous Ljubljana Dragon bridge (in the great tradition of R never visiting any famous monuments in the many exotic places he visits). He did, however meet up with a friend from the Internet he had known for years but had never […]

This is me back on my personal food hobby horse again.  I was making a dessert for a dinner party and one of the ladies is a vegan (sigh) – so I made an apple crumble.  None of the ingredients are animal based apart from the fat in the crumble part, and the cream or […]

After I wrote that I thought “Fnarr, fnarr” which if any one remembers “Viz” which was the catch phrase for the immortal “Finbar Saunders and his double entendres” .  The hole in the ground I am talking about now is the excavation work we have been having done for our garage base. Actually it is […]

I saw the consultant yesterday for what I hope was the final time.  That was eight weeks from the operation and he had asked to see me two weeks early because the first set of X-Rays had looked good.  I had more X-Rays and the good news was that this time the bones are in […]

You’ll remember the mystery hole in the garden which we were hoping might be the den of some aquatic creature?  Well R brought the trail camera in and we got the photos off it… Here is some wildlife investigating the hole. And half entering in! It is Lucky.  So from that I think we may […]

I washed R’s sheets and towels while he was away and put clean ones down on the stripped bed for ten minutes before coming back with the intention of making the bed. But Saphy was already on guard, making sure that everything was safe for her Lord’s return.
