Golf and physiotherapy

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,

I remember being quite dissapointed when Dad told me (about age 14) that he was really glad I wasn't one of those teenagers dressing up and wearing make up and arranging my hair!! Think he realises now I did do those things just not in front of him!! I hope he accidentally picked some great jewellry!! Love Em XXX
