    Morning All

    DH had a proper look at the dog's paw last night by me tickling his belly so he'd stay on his back! It seems ok and he has been for a short walk this morning and has done some running about. He is still favouring that leg sometimes but not all the time so we're going to see how he is later after he's rested it again today and if he's still favouring it this evening we'll take him the vets. The cut itself though looks fine and clean. Thanks for asking Dusty and for you as well LW.

    I have a day home alone today! My school is closed for voting and my kids are at school! I'm going to my friend's house for lunch but other than that I have a few hours free!

    WM is on, I haven't had breakfast yet but I'll do that shortly and then make a start doing something. I've got about 2 hours before I need to go out.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning everyone

    I am on the mend thankfully but still feeling fragile. Out of my pjs for the first time this week! I might attempt to take the poor dog for a little walk later. Bit cross that OH hasnt walked him all week but thats another story! Julie glad it sounds like your dogs paw is healing, mine hates anyone messing about with his paws.

    I am also going to do some washing. Just shout at me if I sound like I am doing too much. I need to get better.

    Oh and Pigpen - you must be so tired!!! Hoping no-one else catches the bug.

    Wm1 on the line
    Wm2 just finished so will put that out in a minute

    Walked down to vote, decluttered some wood stains back to a neighbour enroute and checked another is happy for street party drinks in their garden.

    I was going to garden but it has gone cloudy so think I'll do some kondoing instead.
