    A mixed week.

    Very very tired. Trying to do less but have a busy week.
    Slightly dispiriting visit to physio who is concerned by a lack of muscle strength & my continued falling. Pah.

    On the house front a good day yesterday..

    * One conservatory window replaced~~looks fabarooni :j :j :j
    ** Side garage door replaced.
    Well well pleased with that. Happy days.
    Door needs another couple of coats of buttonox.

    Swings and roundabouts. It'll get better soon. :grouphug:

    Why dispiriting?
    1. Physio lists problems.
    2. Physio fixes problems.

    It would have been worse for them to say "You're 100% fine." - it'll get fixed.

    How are you?

    I've been better. I'm currently recovering from an impromptu "mystery shop" of my local A&E at the weekend. I displayed my "displeasure" at what I perceived as their ineptitude by leaving puddles of blood around various parts of their establishment...

    Does rose remind you of me?

    I thought I was more of a fizzy booze kind of guy... ;) :beer:
