Going downhill!

The knee wasn’t good during the night and today no improvement, in fact getting distinctly worse! I did walk to Bel’s, she lives quite near, but even that was probably too far. I have done some household chores and as it was bright and windy got some washing dry outside.
Jean came here this afternoon, Terry dropped her off and collected her. She was in pain with her back so we were a right pair of crocks!
I heard from Sher and hope to go and see the new shop which opens officially tomorrow.
So not a lot to tell but did put a new mechanism in a clock I made a long time ago. Probably twenty years or more go I made clocks for family members for Christmas. I had a book showing how to paint the shape to look a bit like marble. I didn’t make one for myself but when I was hoping Rose clear the house she said she wouldn’t keep the clock which was still on the wall in the hall. The mechanism was broken so ordered a new one nd got around to fitting it tonight. The old mech had a hanging hook but the new one didn’t, so hand put it on a small easel for now.

I managed to stay in the bed last night, but think it could be the recliner tonight!

  1. Things do seem to be getting worse for you at the moment. The pills don’t appear to be doing much good at all. Maybe something different might help? If the hospital waiting lists weren’t so bad and you could expect an op sooner rather than later it might be bearable. But with the money grabbing doctors going on strike, trying to hold the public to ransom it could be any time.
    I remember you making the clocks very well. I still have mine. That one actually looks quite nice on a little easel. Good to see it’s back to working order and with serve for many more years.
    I hope your night proves to be a bit better, wherever you end up sleeping 🤞

  2. It is nice to have one of the clocks, I think they turned out well, makes me think I should get myself into gear and do more crafting!
    Will be getting in touch with the surgery on Monday and try to get the pain relief sorted.
