Driving in my car

For the last two fill ups i've been driving my car rather slowly and carefully - mostly due to my dodgy knees and now right hand. I normally get 220 miles out of a tank - the first careful fill up I managed 280 and the second one 307 - that's almost 50% more - a staggering amount. Makes me wonder how much money i've wasted - but then again its pretty dull driving like an OAP.

I'm almost feeling a bit better today - i'm rattling with the amount of pills i'm taking - 10 this morning! The cortesone injection seems to have done the trick though - for which i'm grateful as I've been agony for most of the week.

Not got much on this weekend - so I have bought a whole load of garden seeds for us all to plant and watch grow - should be a lot of fun. Some of the tomatoes in the green house are already knee height and the broad beans outside are in full bloom.

I've got a Vista problem which I cannot find the answer to on-line anywhere. Everytime i open a new window up - for example on Messenger, it always goes top left above the viewable screen - i can move it ok but it is really irritating having to do it every time - anyone know how to fix it so it doesn't keep doing that...

Here's a photo of the family at the weekend at home in the joys of spring that has finally arrived. Lovely week this week.

Good news and bad news

Well i can walk again, both knees are now movable. Its a shame its now switched to my right hand - agony!

Visit to Bekonscot

Welcome back!
Been rather busy with work and trying to repair my immune system recently. Today is the first day that I can just about walk ok - though i'm still hobbling a bit. I have an appointment at the hospital in 10 days so its bound to be better by then!!

Looking forward to a quiet weekend this weekend - not really doing anything - so the garden might receive some welcome attention. Planted a few broad beans out in the garden that have been in the greenhouse and some growbags now have tomatoes in them.

My parents and sister and clan came up last weekend - and we went to Bekonscot in Beaconsfield. Here is a photo of Sarah and R & J on the mini train they have there. It was a freezing cold day!



Below is a photo of Uncle Martin who brought round a football goal and mini football for James's birthday.

Quiet Weekend

A quiet weekend was had - well relatively - as I couldn't actually walk as both knees are so swollen - so spent most of it on the sofa - eating anti inflammatory drugs.

This is a great story - made me laugh out loud - whilst sitting here with red hot knees which are sweling up radidly....

Still labouring

Still labouring under my body attacking itself - been a week since this started. My neck glands are ok but my left knee is struggling now d'oh. Feeling very very tired still as well and sore throat. God i'm dull.

Anyway, something to look forward to is Jamie's birthday which is in the next week so we'll be celebrating this weekend and next weekend! Good job it is going to be very cold and snowing!! Saying that - he'll love to be in the snow if it does snow.

My plants are not exactly bursting through in the greenhouse - despite the fact i've put an air heater in there to keep them frost free. I was going to go down the garden club this weekend and buy a load of grow bags and compost for the garden - but think i'll postpone it until next weekend...
