A month methinks

 Possibly.

Bazzy is not amused

ROFL I could have predicted that!

Lol El that's great! What if no one claims it though?

I'm on course for a swift finish from work, for once
See you in a bit

*pretends to have missed that post about baz*

 See you soon.

That's good news Sweet

Have a swift and safe journey home

I'm off now Yogi. Have a great evening and will see you soon. Take care and stay warm and safe

You too, Moonie. Hope to see you back with us very soon.

Well done that very sensible lad, much more courageous to do what you know is right even if you go against the flow.

 

Why doesn't Baz like giraffes?

I don't know why Many many years ago when we went to the zoo at Bristol, one of the giraffes bent down and licked my brother's face

 I bet it had a big tongue.

I wonder if it was rough! friendly giraffe then
Baz does like giraffes, she just doesn't doesn't approve when we let them loose in her house.


I'm home, and I beat the rush hour traffic so was home in time to start our walk in the last of the daylight! It'll only get better from now on

Hopefully see you soon moonie

 It's much better walking in daylight. Well done on beating the rush hour traffic.

Thanks yogi
Are you having some tea tonight?

We're cooking spag Bol, one of my favourites. I just wish I could eat it without splashing it over my face

 It's hard to eat spag bol without making a mess. I love pasta dishes.

I had a bowl of chicken soup at lunchtime and a poached egg for dinner. I'll stick to boring simple, bland food for a couple of days, to be on the safe side.

Summer, remember you have a 9pm curfew - no forumming after that time tonight.

I'm off to watch DCI Banks, then sleep!

Goodnight Summer, Ros and Moonie, sweet dreams everyone.

A little later than planned but I am tucked up in bed
Sweet dreams yogi i wish you didn't have to eat bland, and that you can soon enjoy some tastier foods again

Sweet dreams everyone
Leaving hugs for our absent friend

Good morning everyone

 

Some rain here overnight but is fairly sunny here now, there may be showers later. Tomorrow's forecast is wet.

 

Yogi, I hope you continue to have recovered and will soon be able to eat your normal diet, and Summer, I hope you had a refreshing full night's sleep

Good morning everyone. Weather is overcast, atm.

Thanks El and Summer. I'll stick to bland food today, then I should be able to move on to tastier food.

Summer, I hope you managed to get an early night and slept well.

Back at physio this afternoon. I don't think the exercises have made a difference yet, but it's early days.

Have a good day, everyone.

 

Yogi, it's important to persevere with the exercises and you will start to notice improvements

 I will keep doing them, El.

Good morning everyone, our weather is like yours I think EL it's nice now but we will get rain later on.  I hope your meeting with the physio goes well Yogi.  Summer I hope you had a good night's sleep after your early night.

 

Have a good day everyone

Good morning
Sun breaking through clouds here, a pleasant surprise.
I feel rotten for Somerset, surely the rain has to ease soon?! Those poor people.

Yogi, I hope your appointment goes well, keep at it and you'll soon notice a difference

I've been shopping early and tomorrow I'm going to attempt to make broth

Someone said on the TV that they had seen the long term forecast for February and it is wet all the way through, it's almost unbelievable to have rain lasting this long.

 

Hope all goes well with the broth making.

That's not the forecast we want to hear is it how's your area squiggle?

Thanks my colleague has written me her recipe and I can call her if I get stuck. The green grocer had to point me in the right direction because I don't know the difference between parsnip/turnip- I never cook them!

Summer, sadly the weather in the south of the country will remain wet for at least the next 2 weeks - on average about 2 inches of rain a week. By then we will have had about a third of the total rain which fell during the whole of 2013 (admittedly 2013 was a bit drier than average) but it gives you some idea as to the seriousness of those communities most affected. Tomorrow's rain won't be helpful but there is a fear that the storm which may be arriving Friday night/Saturday may be a lot worse.

 That reminded me of a young lad on a supermarket checkout, who had to ask me what the parsnips in my shopping were, so he could find the price per kilo on his list.

I like a nice broth - great to have hearty soup in this weather.

Thanks Summer and Squiggle, I think the physio might be pleased with one improvement I discovered half an hour ago. I was able to get up from my knees from the floor, without hanging onto anything. My hip might not feel any better but my muscle strength must be improving.

It has started raining again, up here.

Morning(just) Buddies

We have sun atm but not looking good tbh

Yogi, hope the physio visit goes well

Sweet, good luck with the broth What is the difference between a parsnip and a turnip?

Squiggle and El, have a great day

See you later

 

Yogi, that's encouraging news

 

Good afternoon (as it is now) Moonie

Turnips look like this:

Swedes look like this:

Swedes are a cross between cabbages and turnips and are also known as yellow turnips. So it is very easy to confuse the two.

 

Thanks El It doesn't take much to confuse me

Good news about the exercises Yogi, a definite improvement in that short time.

 

Summer I think our weather forecast down here is similar to EL's, it's showery with heavier rain forecast for later on.

Such a guilty face

 

Aaaw lol at that little dog
Bramble pulls some brilliant facial expressions at times, I wish I could video them all!

Yogi, that's progress well done I should think the muscle strength will ease the pressure on your hip, in turn reducing your discomfort

lol Squiggle, that really is a guilty face!

 

Physio was happy with the improvement in my muscle tone. She has modified one of the exercises as it was causing pain in my right hip, and given me an exercise plan to strengthen the muscles in my lower back, too. I go back in a couple of weeks and hopefully there will be further improvement.
