I started round the yukka and filled the garden truck with cuttings before rain and exhaustion stopped play!
May not get out there tomorrow but will try and finish the first cut at the weekend..
Before midday Tina and I headed out, we had lunch before going to hospital for me to have my physio appointment. I carried the crutches and the physio was pleased with how I was walking and kept the crutches to be recycled. The bend has improved form 64 degrees to 82 by her measurements. Not quite where she would like it to be but not concerning her. I have a couple of new exercises to do but she doesn’t feel it necessary to see me any more.
We called in several different shops and got some bits, including some old fashioned oven gloves, but more of that in a bit. Saw these dyed orchids in Homebase.
When we got home the new lawn man was waiting. The main lawn looke pretty good now.
As Darren a and Tina are both working tomorrow and were all heading out early evening we had a celebratory meal for my birthday at the local Indian restaurant . That was really nice and then Tina took this photo as we got back to the house.
When we came indoors I opened my gifts form then. A few really lovely bits but especially this great little pot with a hand made lily of the valley I,
Back to the oven gloves, the latest torture for my health! Have to work on getting the leg really straight as well as the bend. So ankle on a chair, leg straight and oven gloves with weights in!
Managed a couple of minutes and then did a bit of pedalling, also recommended! Birthday tomorrow but usual visit during the day.
The front lawn does look better where you’ve cut it, but I really don’t think you should be doing it, specially with a hand mower! You’ve not got many joints left now that you can wear out!
ReplyDeleteGlad your physio appointment went ok. Will that 82 degree bend still eventually get to 90 or is that it? I suppose if you’re still exercising, and with oven gloves 🙂 , it can only get better.
Did the lawn man do the edges of the lawn this time? Does look nice though.
The pre birthday dinner was nice. I hope it wasn’t too spicy 🌶️ The lily looks lovely. Tina always manages to find nice things for you. Although it could have been Darren I suppose 🙂
I hope you have a great day tomorrow, and Happy Birthday 🥳🎂
Was good to get the physio appointment out of the way, and ai am hopeful that the bend will improve with the new exercises, got to convince the consultant that all is well in a couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteOne of the guys did do the edges, but was really only tidying up what ai had done myself, but a good job this time.
I am sure I will enjoy my birthday.
