Oops

 Yesterday evening when was going to take the garden bins out when I heard a different bird singing, so got my phone out to find out what was singing. A song thrush which was lovely. I was on the porch and concentrating on the phone I missed my footing and really jarred my ankle on the step. It was a really sharp pain but I hoped it would be okay. I cut down a compression sock and put it on when I went to bed.

I was supposed to be catching the 7.30 am train into Edinburgh with Tina, but it was obvious I wasn’t going to be doing that as the ankle was very painful. I haven’t felt too bright for a couple of days nd actually went to bed for the morning today. It has been raining here on and off all day but Tina sent a picture when she arrived in Edinburgh.

I did make it into the garden to take the photo of the two saplings now in bonsai dishes.
Tina had worked on the jigsaw yesterday evening and I did do some this afternoon.
I put my backless garden shoes onto go and collect one bin and put another one out. That was about as much walking I could manage as the ankle is still very sore. I won’t be able to go to Pitlochry tomorrow for my Covid jab as I don’t think I could get proper shoes on and it would involve quite a bit of walking.
Tina sent another picture from the train on her way home. She had good day at her course and she brought me some chocolate!

  1. Yes, they are the plastic pots but very good quality and they look good.
    I got rid of so many bonsai pots when we were moving little thinking I would start starting more! The ceramic ones are very expensive. Maybe we will find some at a boot sale when Darren gets up here.
    The ankle is weak, I sprained it several times when I was a teenager but have managed to avoid problems for a while.
    Hopefully the ankle will heal before too long, I still want to get into Edinburgh before I travel south.
