It's been a vaguely sunny but still rather chilly day here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept OK-ish. Back and foot still stiff and sore respectively. Met up with a friend for our weekly dog walk this morning. Lordy was it muddy. Not squelchy, but that thick, claggy mud that just sticks to everything and builds up on your boot soles. Still, we had a nice 40 minutes of fairly brisk walking. It had to be brisk in order to stay warm, as the easterly breeze was perishing. Car thermometer said 7C, but it felt a heck of a lot colder than that.
Had a lovely luncheon of a ham, cheddar & mustard sandwich, fruit and a
Afterwards, it was out into the garden to finish clearing up that cherry tree that Eowyn smashed up. In the end, I ran out of time, daylight, fuel for the saw and space in the trailer - with still the stump (5ft tall, about 16 ins wide at the base) to clear up. All the wood was cut up into logs, and stacked on the fence to finish drying.
I was SO cold by the time I finished, that I treated myself to half an hour in a steaming hot bath in the company of a good book. (Gene DeWeese's A Call to Darnkess).
Supper was a raid the fridge sort of thing, so beetroot soup, the last sausage roll, some cheese on toast and rounded off with another nice and a little individual marmalade cheesecake.
Oh yeah, and the beef bones I bought in the butcher are simmering for stock. There was enough meat on them to trim off a portion for Madam Lexi. Who had it for her supper.

More often than not because a) they think they know better, b) they care not for the fallout, c) it fills their pockets with dollars or d) they've their heads so far up their arses that, well, yeah...
In this case, I think it's all four.

When all news outlets are reporting on the same story, it can hardly be classed as propaganda. Regardless of the political slant. Or non-slant as is the case for the BBC.
And as someone who has had close family members murdered in Dachau and in the Katyń Massacre, not because they were Jewish, but because they were liberal intellectuals who were seen as a threat by both the Nazi and Stalinist regimes respectively, I have more cause than most to notice the parallels. And it makes me uncomfortable.

I'd go for clearance. Far less risk of smacking one's self in a rather painful area.

Not good. Xray showed nothing. Said they may do a CT scan. That got done. Two hours later doc came to see me and was staring at me whilst I was walking towards a bed. I got a bit worried. "OK you staring at me says I've done something". You shouldn't be able to walk. Three docs later and I've an extensive fracture of my pelvic wing, which they aren't bothered about now, but I've fractured my hip socket.
So I'm in overnight until they can speak to people at Salford. Hoping I'm a bit too far on for surgery. That would really set me back.
They have banned me from bearing weight on it. I've only been whizzing around on sticks for 6 weeks.
It was the look of horror on the doctors faces that really shook me up.
