Hello again
\i'm feeling encouraged as I attempt ever more dariing feats of prowess. I can now swing both legs out of the bath without assistance! and I walk around the house as often as my jailer permits, I saw the neurologist last week who confirms that the flu jab probably caused my problems. He reassured Mlh that he (the neurologist)also would also have encouraged me to have the jab adding 'but don't ever have it again! Funnily enough I had come to that conclusion
The day after we were out and about againWe went out to the Croquet Club dinner which was held in Eaglescliffe Golf C;lub. I don't know what I was expecting but the ambience was old-fashioned and faded instead of trendy and exclusive as I had imagined. Golf used to be very popular when it was aspirational to belong to a club, and every golf club had long waiting lists. It was then discovered that each club had the same hopefuls on its list. I agree with Mlh that croquet is a far more interesting game but we don't have the television coverage and facilitiiis of golf clubs (bar, xomfy chairs, food to buy'etc An admission of being a croquet player elicits the reaction 'isn't thhat something to do with Alice in Wonderland ho ho ' We have been in the local paper a few times always under a quirky headline auch as 'Cock a Hoop!'. No one takes croquet seriously and it is such a skilful game conbining the motor skills of snooker qith the intellecrtual difficulties of chess.
As we don't often go out for a posh 'do', I put a lot of effort and hought into make up hair and wardeobe and I asked Mlh for once o get some beads out of my drawer for me. I used to wear jewelry all the time before the lack of space on my front caused bythe necessity to sport headphones, glasses cords and walky talkys. Mlh just grabbed the first ones he saw and said 'it doesn't matter which ones does it' Doesn't matter???!!!***???
This week, Mlh has enlisted the help of a sixth former who lives over the road to help carry his equipment which he finds a bit heavy now he is of an advanced age (he is older than me) Co-in identally someone round the corner sells safety shoes and hard hats, which he needs for his new recruit,
She also has daughters, so this prompted a discussion with Mlh on the pros and cons of having many daughters. She was able to pull rank having 4 where he only has 3, but he kept his trump card( a son) under wraps for the next time he needs a bit of equipment.) He then took took his new helper to be inducted.. Yes I know, the word induced but hey we are talking engineer-
speak here,
At the hospital where we went this morning, Mlh has a coffee in the canteen while I am e'xercisin A few weeks ago confessed to having a kitat too. Today he said he was going to have a sausage sandwich and I thought instead of but it was revealed later that it was as well as.
We watched bits of the budget when we got home which prompted me to order some half price Australan shiraz for a bridge and dinner paty on Sunday as I noticed that the price of wine was goiing to go up,

Toothache!
Hallo I'm back again!
In my absence have been writing a commercial sort story. All revious submissions have failed and I wanted to have another go. 'Oho' I thought finishing the story with a flourish, I'll write loads more stories instead of blogging. Net result – no stories and no blog. I have been spending the time knitting wristwarmers, playing scrabble and generally lying fallow.
Forced into action again by the flattering comments of Mls-d3 (the youngest of Mlh's 3 daughters), I suspect she wants to keep an eye on what her father is up to!
What has happened in our life? Mlh has had bad toothache, Not quite the correct behaviour for carers who should be hale and hearty at all times.. In any event the toothache turned out to be in the category of man flu as it has gone away without intervention.
This is a wonderful outcome as late Friday night Mlh was so distraught that he actually rang NHS Direct, something he vowed never to do again after his experience of ringing them on my behalf. On that occasion, he didn't want to trouble the out-of-hours doctor.. He gave the same details to three assorted people , the third of whom recommended that he ring a late-night pharmacist which he then did. He was advised by Ame to see a doctor!
Meanwhile back in Mlh's mouth, the problem appears to have been caused by an abscess created by some drilling. Just a storm in a teacup or an extinct abscess in a mouth.
But, back to me (carers don't get much coverage). I must tell you about an exciting little incident which would have been quiite scary except it was so quiick and painless., As you know Mlh leaves me on the drive while he goes and opens the front door and takes in any shopping , turns of the burglar alarm, makes a cup of coffee, puts his feet up and reads the poat. (No he doesn't really, it just seems that long)Thinking I would save him fthe trouble of having to come back for me I started to wheel myself up the ramp that leads to our house. It gets quite steep, so I was having to push very hard to make any progress. Anyway suddenly the chair tipped over completely causing me to fall backwards with my feet in the air. I didn't even have time to see my life flash before me.
'What did you do that for?' Mlh inquired accusingly on reappearing out of the house, and seeing me lying on the ground. You must know I've taken the stabilisers off! (I didn't)
