Hello all.

Just a dailies, dog walk and paid stuff day here today.

Hello everyone. I haven't been on for a long time but thought I'd pop in to say hello; hope you haven't forgotten me. 🙂 Things have been a bit tough here as A's pain has really increased this year and his mobility has deteriorated and he hasn't been able to get out for nearly two months. He really struggles even to move around the flat with his walking frame. He's on pain management medication, which has been tweaked several times and for a while gave him some unpleasant side effects but they seem to have subsided, for now at least.

As he cannot get out he has a private physio who comes once a week (he had a referral for an NHS community physio two months ago but we've heard nothing) and on Monday a podiatrist is coming. He's had an OT visit and she recommended various aids/adaptations which we are in the process of buying/installing.

The hot weather has been a trial but fortunately we have a portable air con unit which we keep in the sitting room and so we have one room at least that is fairly cool. I washed a linen tablecloth and a fitted sheet this morning and the tablecloth dried in no time on the rack, so that was a hot weather bonus.

I hope that you are all well and enjoying life.

Good to have you back with us, @Cloth_of_Gold . Sorry to hear about A's increased pain, and hope the various aids and adaptations help. It's tough being stuck indoors when everything is greening up outside.

As usual, K has done a wonderful job on our house today and I should not need to do any more flying until the weekend if DH does his share of keeping things tidy. I gave Rosie a good comb this morning before K brought out the Dy$0n thingy, so she has been a bit cooler than yesterday. There's also been a pleasant breeze through the house with the windows open front and back.

Just had a catch up but have only just finished work.

Started the day with a 3.5 mile walk this morning, didn't feel quite on it and was slower and wasn't able to reach my morning target. Have been at the desk all day with a short break at lunchtime when DH and I did our exercise routine.

DD and DH have no idea what they fancy for dinner so I need to go and find some inspiration.

I plan on emptying the DW, doing dinner then nothing else today.

The weather is much cooler here even with the sunshine, which means I will need to find a hoodie or something shortly as the back of the house (and kitchen) is north facing and below my ideal temp.

Hope you all have a good evening, back when I can
