Yes that is what I was told to do by the surgeon. I had to sit across the back seat with my leg elevated on pillows. I couldn't wear a seat belt like that but I was following medical advice.

did that myself a long time ago when I broke my leg & went to visit family 4 hrs away. I rode in the back of our station wagon hoping we didn't get rear-ended

Peanut butter and chocolate spread is better.

So's peanut butter and marmite. Although I might get shot down in flames for that...

Hall cleared out and all the coats taken off the hooks so the electrician booked for this afternoon had a clear run at the consumer unit repairs/replacement.

Shame he then phoned up and cancelled until the 19th 😕

Very pleasant day. Lots of sunshine with just one heavy-ish shower. I managed to buy 3 tubs of my favourite Fage Greek yoghurt and some mushrooms. It`s so strange meeting up with neighbors I haven`t seen for a year and not do our usual handshaking or cheek to cheek kisses!

It's turned into a fine, sunny if rather chilly afternoon. Well, the sun has just about set, and the breeze is a brisk northerly. Maybe I might get to see something of the aurora this evening, as I'm just about far enough north according to the news / weather.

Anyways, I've spent the afternoon moving the lumps of cut mulberry to the log store, although that'll need at least another year or two of seasoning before it is ready to burn. Admittedly mulberry is no great shakes - well, not like ash, hazel or fruit wood, but it's there and it's free, so I'm not turning my nose up at it...

I am cuddling a very purry tortie.

poor Georgie! sounds like a close call! what from, do you suspect?

One of the neighborhood cats. Next door has an angry female cat . I stopped then fighting a few weeks ago . There used to be a chocolate brown male which used to come round but I haven't seen him for a while . The number of cats here has decreased from what it used to be .

The girls are incredibly territorial, and woe betide any other cat come into the garden, whether that's one of the ferals from a nearby colony, or whether it are assorted neighbours' cats.

AFAIK none of the "incidents" have ever come to blows - the other cats will do a tactical retreat in the face of aggressive posturing and some seriously bad language...

N.B. I do see fewer ferals around now that some of the entire males in the area have had a pompomectomy. My hedge doesn't smell of Eau de Tom Cat anymore.

It has been nice and sunny here all day . It would have been nice to go for a cycle ride but I have been busy concreting the base in our fireplace and then working outside lopping our hedge back .
I think I might have pulled a muscle in my back .

Getting old shattered after a cleaning blitz.Shower room and bathroom tomorrow,there was a time I could do it all in the same day.Next year will be interesting decorating from top to bottom.This should be the last time I do it,they say a room should go five years before it needs tarting up again,well by then we might be heading for the Northumberland coastline.

@Reynard .... Pompomectomy

 

[Reynard]

Right, it's near enough time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Georgie seems to be interested in watching the Hornby programme on the TV , he's sat in front of the TV watching it right now !
