Month: March 2021

A beautiful sunrise to accompany Rhys’s early morning run.

It was such a warm day (about 24 degrees) and so time to give Ellie a bath. She does like it but it is a bit of an effort for us both. Of course once done she runs out and rolls all over the garden!

Mal went to the allotment in the afternoon, another 1 and a half pounds of rhubarb.

Football in the evening. England beat Poland.

Hearing from Lou and Rhys yesterday, we hadn’t realised this coming weekend is Easter!! I think in lockdown our days have just merged into one.

I haven’t driven since I hurt my leg, so tried today and it was OK. We decided to go to Deal as it is a straight road and not much to think about.  Ellie came with us and Mal had a short walk along the sea front.

Of course by the time I arrived home my leg was aching but I have to keep moving. In the afternoon as promised the physio from the hospital phoned me. He explained the whole anatomy of the leg, told me I have torn my calf muscles and initially he would have given me exercises to do and also to use a cold ice compress. A shame I wasn’t put in touch with him before! He said it will take 6-8 weeks to heal, not to rush things, gave me exercises to do and will phone me again next week. When I said the surgery could have been a little more helpful he laughed and said they are only interested in medicines!

Early evening the surgery called me and asked how my face to face went with the physio!! I told her she had arranged a phone consultation but said they were very helpful. She also said my blood pressure was “on the edge”. I told her I have always had white coat syndrome so I have to get a blood pressure monitor and phone the results in. As the physio said, “they are all about medicines”. I would rather lower my own blood pressure if it is high.

Mal walked Ellie and then when they came back we had a slow walk to the allotment again. I just sat and watched Mal make a whole new seed bed in his new allotment. He also chopped back the buddleia and blackcurrants in my allotment. A nice sunny day. Ellie found her spot in the shade. For a Cypriot dog, she really hates the heat.

Mal took Ellie.

I decided to try walking to the allotment. It was slow but I managed. I wasn’t much use when I got there, I just sat down but at least I got there and back. This is the first of the rhubarb in my allotment. I have another 6 plants and there are more at Mal’s new allotment! I’ve a feeling there will be more rhubarb wine. Mal planting some seeds in the wobbly cold frame he has inherited and Ellie who is just content anywhere.

In the afternoon we watched the football qualifiers.

An interesting article concerning Deal in the Times. I guess now the DFL’s have taken over Whitstable and Margate, they will now start on Deal! I really hope not as it is a lovely town.

So progress this morning, I managed to walk to the cemetery and back. It is only round the corner but hey, I couldn’t even walk this time last week!

Mal went to the allotment. I did some baking and we had another go at the free £50K ITV 7. It’s free but we put a small bet on Royal Commando and yes it came in. As for the ITV7, I think we were out after the first race!

Mal walked Ellie and then to the allotment before the rain started. I practised using the stairs very gingerly. I also walked across the road to the field.

Rhys was out for his early morning run and sent me a lot of lovely photos. A good thing as I can’t go far!

I did slowly walk to the field opposite with Mal then he walked Ellie and I came back home. Steps/pavements are a problem.

Ellie and I sat in the garden in the afternoon and Mal went to the allotment.

England played in the evening. Nice to see a game with so many goals. There could have been more!
