COLD DARK ROOM

Here is a pic of another grandson that was here about a month ago. View attachment 269358

He is a handsome guy.

Now that I am all caught up, I think my cat is pregnant! And her brother might be the daddy. We will see a vet after this litter.

Oh dear and congratulations.

Nice, he is really good!

I wish he could understand that. He says he's the world's greatest artist. Just ask him but he won't really pursue that as his only job. He also has to work menial jobs or he's not happy. Sooo...

Interesting indeed... good luck! Hopefully you’ll return in even better condition

Yep...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

Good mornooning everyone.

It’s my turn for physio today. I have to head back to A&E at the hospital this morning so their physio can review my progress. The back of my calf is bruised like someone kicked me - I was warned this would happen. It will be interesting to see what the verdict is.

I hope the verdict is a good one.

Very true.

Ours aren’t quite the same - they are just starting to go over.

Very beautiful.

Good afternooning. Ecologist daughter and her flatmate have a new friend to share the flat.

Meet Basil the Brown Long Eared Bat. Basil got caught up in netting and injured and is now recovering in their care until he is ready to be released again. You need to be licensed to handle bats in this country... Daughter’s flat mate is the one with the qualification.

Oh poor thing. It looks very cute though.

Still prepping for the big secret adventure trip that commences Friday....

Here’s another clue - somewhere here....

Is there a tunnel to kiptopeke? I may have been there once upon a time.

My physio went well. I have two more exercises to add to the list. The physio has confirmed the Baker’s Cyst in the back of my knee and the rupture of it that has caused the pain, swelling and bruising in my calf.

I am off crutches and using a stick if necessary. She reckons that it will take 6 weeks for the swelling and bruising to clear and probably 3 months for me to be back to normal.

It seems very slow, but I am fairly upbeat about it. I need to work at the exercises, I am allowed back swimming if I avoid breast stroke as the leg movement is too much strain on my knee, and hopefully I will see steady improvement

I am so much better than I was this time last week.

Very glad it went well. 3 months will be over before you know it.

A better photo of those ears!

Wow. Adorable.

 

[CarolM]

Great dismal swamp national park sounds umm... unpromising? [emoji23]

That crossed my mind too.

 

[Cathie G]

Oh please don't feed me to the turtles?

I can't do that. I'll never get my Monday(funday) update again.

 

[CarolM]

I don't blame you. If I have a bad dream, it's about my tortoise. I woke up crying one morning. In my dream I couldn't find him. I'm really sorry you're going through this.

Thank you Cathie. I really appreciate all the kind words everybody has said.

 

[CarolM]

Out fetching goods & vittles & provisions for the big adventure. But, took some time for some weed picking for Sully.

A snack..

Yummy.

 

[CarolM]

Hi hope you are now better.

Oh yep, rain is certainly good; even though personally speaking, I do not like it. Here, prayers take place each and every year for rain.

Thank you. And I love rain. Just not on washing day [emoji6]

 

[CarolM]

Good evening. And a.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your son!

Oooh. Happy happy birthday JoesBrother.

 

[CarolM]

I can't do that. I'll never get my Monday(funday) update again.

Lol. o-O I better work on it for next Monday.
