Sprained me right ankle yesterday. And again this morning. Managed to drive 60 miles on it ok, and did a bit of work at the dottirs house, not too much trouble from the ankle while I was busy using it. But after half an hour resting it this afternoon, laid on the sofa ordering service items online for the family fleet of cars, it tightened up and got all hurty. After a working life which sustained many similar injuries, I resorted to wearing mostly hiking boots as everyday clogs, and for the past 20+ years have remained mostly ankle injury free. Sod this hot weather and the sandals I wore for the past 2 days :mad:.

Afternoon folks :).

Been busy doing not to much cos of the heat, but got to do a little bit each day.
M was off to the shops but because of a low looking tyre she got out our blowey thing we have in the back. Let her get on with it, came back in and said "needs a new valve, where's the valve kit?" Yep we have a valve insert kit. So I went and checked the wheel nope a valve insert isn't gonna get it, Its the actual valve rubber split (had 1 on the fender last year) so stuffed a handy bit of twig in the right side so it wasn't hissing out and got it in the garage to change for the spare. So shopping didn't happen and now I am gonna have to have chips with me chicken instead of salad:rolleyes:.

Sure in the UK they change the valve when tyres are changed, probably not here so need to make sure they all get changed.

On a lighter note we had this bird coming down the road other day shouting not sure what about.

Dont see many not like in the UK, but apparently they are about and we do have forest and long grass cover out the back.

Imagine the amount I have needed to clear out 9 large bookcases following the death of my husband four years ago - and I still haven't finished! It has become obvious that I just can't do the physical work involved in this task like I used to do. :(

That sounds like quite an undertaking for anyone. I've done another bookshelf today though some of the books are still in boxes and there are more though they've got box files rather than books on them.

The circumstances of what you are doing are very poignant I would imagine.

Sorting and washing stuff from the caravan, had a meltdown moment when the sleeping bags still held the smell of my late husbands aftershave ...

I'm not surprised, that sort of thing can come out of the blue.

We have got quite a lot of stuff from my grandmother's house (she died 22 years ago) and the whole house faintly smelled of a particular perfume, I don't know what it was. Every now and then I might find something which still has that smell and all the memories suddenly come back, the visits, things I helped with, the Christmasses, my uncle visiting and chain-smoking Rothmans...

I know it's completely different but I can see how these things can conjure up feelings and memories so I understand.

Dunno about your neck of the woods, but used to be like that in Devon when I lived there, and sadly if you killed one ont road you would be in the wrong if you took it home and ate it, but the clod in the car behind could and they'd be OK!
