It has been a trying week.....Phil had a fall the other night and took more than skin off an elbow and a knee. Fortunately he was wearing a thick coat and trousers so could have been far worse. I've told him to remember he is 85 and not a youngster any more and not to take short cuts when returning to the car but 'walk around any obstacles'. He is mending fine.
He also grazed our little car too when parking close to one of those monstrous concrete pillars and with the cost of car repairs these days!!! Off to the panel beater for a quote next week to decide whether to claim on insurance or not. Depends I guess on the excess on our policy.
I am truly loving our new windows and wondering why I didn't do it years ago. Guess the back of the house was never that important.
Our Candy is as beautiful as ever and enjoys wandering around our front garden where she is well shielded from the street with a fence, gate and lots of shrubbery. We love that cat so much and, no, she is not in this picture. I must try and capture her on film (no we don't use film now do we?) one day.
Hopefully will be back next week firing on most, if not all cylinders. Hope one and all that you have an enjoyable and restful weekend. I will be checking your blogs even if I don't perhaps leave a comment. I enjoy them all so much.

So sorry to hear about your shoulder not getting better and Phil's fall too; I hope you both get better soon. Not typing will rest the shoulder, but don't forget to keep moving it, however slightly, so it doesn't freeze again. Take as long as you need. We'll still be here.
ReplyDeleteThanks River for your concern. I am sure all will be well "in the fullness of time" as they sasy.
DeleteMy should is still partly frozen and although I try to exercise it as much as possible it's difficult not to make it worse, and it's also damned painful to boot. I am using a heat pack too.
I guess it's just another one of those things that come to try us as we age. Shouldn't complain as you could say it's good to still be here to complain. (*:*)
So sorry Phil had a spill. Surely hope he is feeling much better now. It's just hard when your joints don't work right, your eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and first thing you know, you are on the ground. My best to him.... and to you.
ReplyDeleteHe is OK now. Actually he moves well and his eyesight is fine. Silly fellow decided to take a short cut in the dark and it proved to be his undoing.
DeleteWe are both doing OK today so the rest is doing me good.
Thank you for your good wishes and great to have you drop by.
Oh dear...sounds like you've had 'a week'. Hope Phil heals up quickly ... the car too. Take care. Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeletePhil is mending well and today I am enjoying the 'break'. A very quiet Sunday mainly spending time on the computer with breaks in between. Thanks for your good wiehes.
DeleteHari OM
ReplyDeletethese things do all mount up... good plan to kick back and watch the footie!!! Healing hugs from afar... YAM xx
Footy results to our liking although one game far too close for comfort.
DeleteThanks for those healing hugs...I am sure they are working well as we are both feeling better today. xx
I hope you and Phil both feel better! Your garden is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your good wishes.
DeleteOur garden is a bit of a wilderness but it suits us.
Great to have you pop in.
Oh Mimsie. What a week.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Phil feel much, much better. Quickly.
Love your garden.
The rest is working. Phil is healing well and I will be OK till I decide to get moving again. Physio on Tuesday for some more good work. Neck, knee, shoulder, back??? What dreadful choices to make and she is on holiday the following week.
DeleteThe garden looks good in the sunshine but it truly is somewhat of a wilderness. Not beautiful like your own.
