Oh thats a shame, but not terribly unusual, depending on the break, and the state of his bones.I.E, if he is arthritic , or on any drugs, that will weaken his bones. It does take a long time to recover from such a break, on the ankle, because of the weight put on it, and other issues, sometimes one just cannot stop from moving! Rest and move when appropriate. Hope he recovers soon x 

Yes, very cold here too, my son wants a onesie, but too tall. It nips in places 
Keep warm , moonie x

Won't ask want places Skylark 

Fankoo I shall endeavour too keep meself warm. You too xxx

He will probably need orthopedic boots. The problem is that he works in a M&S store so should be wearing shoes and wearing shoes is much more painful than wearing boots. M&S have been very good to him keeping him on their payroll for this length of time.

 

Ah, yes, good for M&S. He can see orthopaedics , and hopefully they can help him with appropriate footwear There are appropriate shoes and work wear for disabilities , such as his x

No prizes for guessing which film though.

 

The article has now been amended to include the sale for $3.07m of the costume for the most loved feline in Hollywood film history.

Again no prizes for guessing the film. The two films are amongst the most loved films of all time.

One of the first phone numbers I barred on my phone was 02037695528. They still try ro ring from time to time. Besides the normal Windows Technical support scam the other one they try is to claim that they can stop you getting unwanted phone calls. They expect you to pay for this and will ask you for your debit or credit card details. Obviously it's a scam but it could catch some people out.

Hi El

snow? I hope that doesn't happen

Hi El

If it does, it would only be temporary and be on places like the Cotswolds in my part of the country.

Cheltenham Town have just sacked their manager following 4 defeats in League 2, the last but one a thrashing by 1 goal to 5, and the most recent by 1 goal to 4. They are now looking for a new manager,

When Sergio Leone approached Clint Eastwood to do the spaghetti westerns, Eastwood's agent advised against accepting saying that it would be a bad step. Eastwood ignored the agent's advice and accepted the films.

A few years later in 1968, Eastwood set up his production company, and, remembering his agent's advice ironically called it "Malpaso" (Spanish for bad step is mal paso).
