Catching Up

debris4spikeI ended up having a lazy Sunday ... and felt better for it. The trouble then was that I ended up doing extra cleaning in the kitchen ... and payed for it!
So the rest of the day was lazy, and so was Tuesday morning ... then yesterday afternoon I had my physio appointment.
She was very pleased with progress ... but said I still have a way to go before I can either drive, or start to get rid of the crutches. I am frustrated, but there again she pointed out that the haematoma is still there, and reminded me that I came very close to needing surgical repair of the muscle. So, overall good news, but still a way to go. I am still walking every day, and really need to get Christmas organised ... I can only do bits at a time, so it means that I shall need to do a bit every week ... so that helps me with my walking exercise, as well as with Christmas. We have our family get-together in 10 days time ... I need to get someone to collect me on their way to Tim & Claires. I might be able to walk there OK, as it's only about a mile away, but, I can't walk and carry Nick & family's pressies (when I get them bought!).
As well as getting some Christmas letters written (I have ordered Christmas cards), I am doing some knitting ... and made some icons. The icons are something I love doing, but I can't sit too long without the leg raised, so not something I can do at my computer in my study.
This set were made for "favourite musician" and it has been an easy choice of favourites.
The first 2 are of James Marsters, and if you don't know, he played Spike in BtVS. I took these photos back in 2009.
The other 2 are of the original Glenn Miller Orchestra, taken in the 1940's. I love the music (although find it really hard to play!). However I had to share these early images, as one of Mum's memories was of hearing him play with the USAAF Band in Northamptonshire, not long before his final flight. So a favourite musician ... and a family memory.

So I need to get the leg rested ... so ...
24. Do you have throw pillows/cushions around the house?
I love cushions ... both to add personality, and to support my old back injury.
25. Is lunch a snack, a light meal, or your main meal of the day?
If I am able, I prefer it to be the main meal of the day ... but if I am out and about then it's more of a snack. In other words, I don't mind, providing I don't miss the meal completely.
26. On National Cake Day – what is your favourite cake?
I love most types of cake ... except heavy/dark fruit cakes ... and carrot cake is not really a favourite either.
Right, let's get on
Will try and catch up with you later - but will admit it will probably b tomorrow now so I don't stress the injury too much.
