Good news on the achilles

After struggling for six months with the pain, I finally went and saw someone yesterday. He said my alignment is out which he straightened and that it is only the sheath round the Achilles that is inflamed. He said I can go training in 3 days and see how it is!! Just need some ice for tonight though to put on it. How great is that - just wish I'd gone in March and been able to keep my fitness throughout the summer - oh well. Only problem now is balancing hockey between Sarah and I and looking after Rebecca and James which could be a problem - so we could be playing for random 3/4/5's I suspect. I'll go to training on Tues anyway and see how it is - assuming i'm allowed to go to 1/2's training.

Popped in to B & Q on the way home last night and bought a load of stuff with which to try and keep the badgers out and stuff for inside the house. Looking forward to seeing whether the grass has been ripped up again last night or whether my bodge it yourself has worked.

This weekend we've got Ash and Debs and their two kids coming on Sat and then Mum and Dad for Sun / Mon so busy. Need to do the shed roof which is leaking quite badly too - and spray it - bought the latter yesterday.
