debris4spikeI do find life so, so frustrating at present. However, when I look back on a couple of weeks ago life is so much more easier.
I have managed to have a walk each day, without the splint, and using the crutches. It's slow going, but I am managing it, so that's the main thing.
I have also managed to get a bit of housework done ... so another positive tick. Today my car is being serviced and MOT'd ... I was slightly worried as it was running out, and I am unable to drive. However the car company have collected it, so hopefully they won't find any major problems, and it will get returned OK.
Last Friday I managed to catch up with someone who used to go to the same Church as me. It was lovely to see her, and just have a couple of hours of gentle chat.
Well other than that, the highlight of the missing few days was a visit to the doctor to sort out the painkillers ... so nothing super-exciting.
I am going to gt some more icons made in a moment. Before that -
13. Have you ever played card games? Do you have a favourite?
When I was at school there used to be a group of us who played Solo Whist, a lot. I loved it.
I have enjoyed other card games when I have had a chance.
14. It’s National American Teddy Bear Day! Do you have any teddy bears?
I have loads! Including the first bear I ever had … and on my bed is the teddy that was my first Christmas present, and the one that’s my first birthday present.
But downstairs I also have the bear that Mum had as a kid
And, as I say, loads more.
15. Do you give names to inanimate objects such as your car, your computer or other items?
No
16. Are you a fan of ‘fast food’? When was the last time you visited a fast food restaurant?
When I am out by myself then I pick fast-food, as it's cheep and quick. Normally when I am in London that's my lunch for the day.
17. Do you use placemats when you eat at the dining table?
Yes.
Although Mum & Dad had a proper protective cover, as they preferred that with the tablecloth. I suppose it means you can move things around easily that way.
Right, let's see what you are all doing?
