Bones and Views

Daft dog ! Daft owners :-)

Constantly new areas of problem solving. Working through Joanna's bone pain. Think it's from a combination of being off her feet, light sensitive so avoiding sun, use of Pregablin for nerve pain, then the final straw was taking oral cortisone this spring for the asthma. She was already on vit D supplements, now taking calcium which helps within the day. Amazing how our bodies work normally as fast as our bones are worn away they're being rebuilt !

Today's helper loves taking things to pieces to clean them. I hurtle to get the instruction books out and we manage to get them back together again. Today she has attacked, with unbridled enthusiasm, the washing machine and the dish washer. She ran her finger behind the door seal of the latter and produced something ghastly with the pleasure of a child fishing in it's nose to see what it can find !

Had a lovely time sat with Joanna on the balcony yesterday eating Marmite toast in the late evening sun.

Then Ruth called us through and we watched a wonderful aerobatic display by the starlings from her bedroom window. Being well off the ground we get particularly good and uninterrupted views of things like that, and the town annual firework display at Easter on the bridge over the river. 
 

 Back and front we've got lovely full spread display of autumn colours by the river bank and on the hill sides.

There's water in the river now we've had rain
