I make no apologies!!!!😄 As you probably know I am already kind of disabled due to a severe accident. One lower leg /ankle useless.... Well last night I caught my good foot, which drags slightly on the corner of a mat. To stop myself falling I flung myself sideways and landed on OH very ungracefully in a heap.. I frightened him almost to death. It was very sore this morning with a small bruise but because it was my only good foot I decided to pop into Minor Injuries just to make sure. Ooooh *^*"!^*** it's fractured. They decided not to plaster today due to my mobility but I now have a giant boot and must rest it for six weeks at least. The hospital only had small crutches but they weren't much good so we went to a mobility shop and bought some. I didn't know they are so scary to get used to. 🤣 I will not moan, I will not moan😱 Oh no, what a thing to happen. Hopefully it’ll mend well, so just put your trotters up for the time being 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted November 4, 2021 #27179 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Good morning everyone hope everyone is ok and happy, I’ve been very busy sorting mums clothes out for charity shops etc and still unpacking a few bits of my clothes now that our wardrobes have arrived all be it one is damaged so awaiting for replacement but can’t see that coming anytime soon after waiting 5 months for these 😤. Anyway I’m a bit concerned I haven’t seen Avril posting for a few days so I hope you are well Avril and everything ok . Have a good day everyone, we are off to see the sun rise down the beach now . 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted November 4, 2021 #27180 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Yes, I noticed our Avril was missing in action and meant to put a shout out yesterday but never got round to it. So, here I go now - Avril … are you and Frank OK? No need for a long post - just drop by and say Hi 👋 It’s too early to judge today’s weather. It’s dry and cool just now. I think the wind has swung north, so it’s likely cooler. Anyway, I’ll stop wittering and get on with it. Enjoy your day everyone. Try to stay upright 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, but just a pub lunch. Fussy, aren’t I? Looks like the burger is poking it's tongue out at the fish and chips.

As an ad, it would not inspire me to shop there, even if there was a branch within 50 miles of home. Edited November 4, 2021 by pete14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to pass through it many years ago on my way back from the City, but I suspect it's changed over recent years. Gentrification, perhaps? Knew a barrister who moved there not so long ago when it started to change, but he was mugged on his way home from the station and has moved further out. Sure he wasn't a Barrista in Costa?.

Guest ccpm Posted November 4, 2021 #27197 Share Posted November 4, 2021 After a good start yesterday the heavens opened late morning and yes the dachsies and I were out. Upshot 4 drowned rats. Today starts rainy and no way Hose are those dogs getting up off the floor today. I am treating myself to an oven clean by a very nice man. Yes I really know how to live here. That and the Tesco shop will be the highlights of the day. Avril I also hope you and Frank are well. Indiana I hope that your foot gets rested and better soon. Just a hopeful note re the cruise on my last voyage 2018/9 a very nice lady had done similar and had only had her boot for 2 weeks. She was mainly parked up in the Glass House in the mornings so her husband could go off and walk round the ports so we got chatting and wine drinking. Then after he had scoped things out he used a P&O wheelchair to get her off when they could. Em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
