Starting to stress now about my operation next week.  I've been practicing with crutches for the past couple of days and just cannot seem to be able to use them correctly.  I have very little upper body strength and am somewhat overweight - the combination is not good for non-weightbearing mobility support.  I think I am going to have to get a knee scooter so that I can move around once I am back from hospital.

Now that the fire restrictions are off there were lots of burn offs the past week or so.  Hope you catch yours before it runs away on you, K Atie

Keeping in mind that spiralised zucchini are called zoodles ... today I made poodle and sweetpoodle soup (clue: think of potato)

Out to dinner last night to a restaurant (Indian and Hungarian mix on the menu) we had never been to, and will never go to again!  The food was very mediocre without much in the way of taste or interest.  Ah well, at least we know now.

Chookie, that pair of long socks that are imitation sheep wool lined sound like just the thing I will be needing whilst I am recuperating.  Can you recall where you got them from?

Just bought a new laptop computer and it's taking a bit of getting used to.  So many ads, driving me mad so I have got to suss out a decent app to get rid of them ... or at least cut them down before I go completely batty!

Ouch, Marina. My GP waits 2 weeks between each injection.
Hair cut and blow wave, Gym, afternoon tea with Probus friend and off to Melbourne to stay one night at The Royce. Tomorrow, morning shopping and dinner at Farmers Daughter’s. Home.
Your GP has undoubtedly got it right, Chookie, but it is getting too close to my operation now to allow that amount of time between the various injections.  I cannot imagine it will be much fun, but hopefully it will serve its purpose and keep me protected during my night in hospital and subsequent recovery at home.

Enjoy your visit to Melbourne, it's a bit dreicht at the moment, but will hopefully improve whilst you are here - I'll let the weather forecasters know you are coming and see if they can do anything about it for you.

Visited my GP today and made arrangements for 2nd shingles shot plus flu plus COVID injections next week (that should be a fun visit) prepping for my hospital stay.

I love the dried mango from The Source - it can be a dangerous shop for me to visit!

Made meatless meatballs (Mab, I am sure this was a suggestion from you quite some time ago - it is from one of the Revive Cafe cookbooks).  They are really good and easy to make.  I think I will make them into sausage rolls next.

Day 1 today for a work experience student - you never know how that will go.  To my great dismay, the last one we had would not answer the phone calls, she didn't seem to know what to do with them, had no grasp of phone etiquette.  Hopefully this one will be better.

A slightly belated wish for a happy birthday, Chookie.

I've been tackling a swathe of documents from my surgeon prior to the operation on my ankle in May.
