- It has not been a good health week. I had a flu jab on Tuesday, I’m having an ongoing issue with my GP about my HRT, and I banjaxed my back. Anything I managed to do from Thursday on is a testament power of over the counter co-codomol and Deep Relief patches and gel. I’m doing some exercises that should help in the long run but it’s been pretty ouchy
- Some sunshine. The weather has been very autumnal and wet, but there have been some beautifully sunny mornings
- A big cupboard clear out at Mums. I’ve needed to do this for a while but it had to be done this weekend because Mum’s wheelchair arrives next week and we need somewhere to put it. I needed to move various bits of furniture about to make it happen and no it was not the best thing to be doing with a sore back! But needs must! We found Mum’s Christmas decorations, which we be useful because we’ve ordered a tree (I refuse to spend Christmas in a house without a Christmas tree!). For those of you wondering yes that is the mattress I sleep on when I stay at mums and yes I do realise that it’s not the best choice for middle-aged people with back issues…
- I bought an amaryllis, I’m not sure that it’ll flower for Christmas, lets see…
- Some kale for a friend to plant!
