What a lovely day

Out of the house again and walked round the community garden and the river walk (1.5m). I was hobbling a bit by the end of it, but I’m making progress. The weather was really beautiful and our plan today had been to go to the Tree Shop at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar and buy […]

More Progress of Maz

Ye Saga Continueth… Now having formally discarded the boot, my target is to be walking five miles a day (ok – most days) by Christmas. Actually, by a sheer co-incidence, a further ten weeks from the second operation takes us to Christmas, so this will be five months from the operation and I am hoping […]

The progress of Maz

As you will have probably gathered, my nickname is Maz (this was from when my brother was a little boy and couldn’t say “Marion”. He said “Mazion” instead – so Maz is short for that). I made this progress chart when I came out of hospital after the operation. It is probably very sad, but […]

Ready for Bed

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 […]

Out of the house

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 […]

Robin Rescue

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 […]

A new piece of wildlife

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 […]

A Slovenian Platter

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 […]

Another food rant

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 […]

A different sort of hole

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 […]
