I have suffered the grammatically challenged in my formative years it's true, and yet survived - if living in South East London can be called survival.

Living in South East London defines survival.

The local yobo's must have had a good Friday night, I've just spent 10 minutes picking up the bin they knocked over and sweeping up broken glass.

I'm back in bed again....

Lahnden. I think you'll find. Geezah!

Or as you'd know it, The Ghetto, as sign posted on the pavement in Fordham Park.

Ooh, I've never seen that and I go through it fairly often east - west. It's just a straight ride from here. I'll have a look out for it next time I pass.

Meanwhile, a big toenail has just catapulted itself into a pile of unsorted papers and has disappeared. Even after taking a bath to soften them up, it still requires a fair bit of force to cut them so they can escape with a fairly high velocity. It's a form of nail bomb.

SE London expanded to include my childhood home, I did, however, spend much of my teenage years at some distance.

Is that good or bad?

I think. The bed is more comfortable than my OAP chair, but not as 'social'. My muscles are currently objecting to being a position they have never been in before as a result of the fusion pulling my body into a position it has never held before - the correct one! It is objecting big time. I am literally counting the minutes till the next dose of morphine (12pm), have the heat mat on (which is too soon after the op but the alternative was an out of hours GP but it is away from the op site, mostly on my buttock muscles right now which feel like they have done 10 rounds with a baseball bat), and I'm in a more lying down position. I'm hurting. It is to be expected, but it does not help. It is going to be a hard few days whilst my body adjusts and I may have to talk to a GP about getting some diazepam... (or more accurately using the spare I happen to have from the first op when I went through something similar muscle spasm wise).

Going for walks helps but is exhausting me. It frees up the muscles and stops them complaining for a while, but other things complain instead not least of all my ability to control my legs! I have a feeling it is going to be a rough/tough few days. the physio exercises also help to a point, the point being my ability to do them. This next dose of morphine might be early! As could a dose of codeine. it helps a touch but not much sadly but right now anything that helps even a tiny weeny bit is needed... and then the paracetamol might also be due soon... need to go off and check my chart...

I have been painting skirting.


Sympathy for SatNav too.

Have a gentle virtual hug from me.

I've got a mate who is a time served coach painter who 'specialised' in signwriting for his City & Guilds. I do the emulsion and the undercoat on the woodwork, he nips round and does the gloss/cutting in.......................they look like glass when Geoff has waved his magic brush at em. compared to my efforts.
EDIT - Geoff can get a better finish on a car/commercial vehicle or a bus with a brush than anyone I've seen can with a spray gun.

Now you tell me about Geoff, if you had mentioned him yesterday we could have sorted something

@vernon - my Swiss friend Gaby has just sent me a picture of her rhubarb tart

I think she'd be prepared to post one to Leeds

Tell her that she's made me crumble.

The statement is nothing without pictures.

By a stroke of luck I found it. Also, my shoes now fit better and the life expectancy of my socks has increased dramatically.
