Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey...!!!! MK8...

Aloha everyone,

Not so warm this morning or bright. I think it is supposed to brighten up later though.
Not sure what is on the Agenda today but if it doesn't rain it will probably involve watering by can. Have a lovely day all and Kandy rest that foot!

Aloha!

 

Good morning everyone,

Oh no Kandy.....i bet that's painfull..... you'll have to take it easy for a while
I hope everyone else is on form

I'm looking forward to some serious pottering in the garden todayplenty of mulching and feeding to do.....

Have a relaxing day everyone,take care

 

Oh WOO, you naughty boy, you should have known better. I hope it eases up soon. We have a back massage machine being delivered today so that both of us can ease our backs a bit. Take care.

Loli enjoy your mulching!

 

Good afternoon everyone,

Finally made it on here today and am just about to try and upload a photo of my broken toe to show you all what a silly sausage i am for doing it in the summer rather than the winter months when i don't mind being stuck indoors....

 

OOOOOer Kandy that does look sore and all that bruising right across the foot as well. Poor you. Do make sure you rest it.

 

Evening all

Ouch! Kandy. Sending speedy healing vibes your way

Haven't posted much, due to "thinking/reflective" time, but, I have been very busy in the garden - so therapeutic, isn't it? But a huge "time thief"!

I'm doing "multi-tasking-multi-projects" at the moment (garden wise) plus the lads are in the throes of A2 levels and the dreaded 'angst' of Uni places. Mr "M" is being pressed into extra shifts (to cover mainly sickness/stress related illness) which throws umpteen spanners into the works of having a "life" outside of work Besides, he's not getting any younger (who is?) and I do worry a bit that he may be over-stretching himself. He doesn't listen to me; so that is a non-starter 'conversation'. However, all "conversations" aside, the concern remains.

Ozzy resumes do(d)ggy classes tomorrow after one week off and I just know he's going to be a bit of a pickle - I've asked for earlier classes, simply because his breed/coat cannot manage under a midday sun - and that means, new friends!!!!! Trouble is, he adores meeting new (friendly) friends, but is a total wimp-out if they are on the slightly aggressive side (yes, I know, hides behinds his mother's apron strings type of guy - but, on a plus point, in some cultures that would be considered one very intelligent guy! )

One of my lads has gone to the "Smoke" today, with his birthday money, to attend a ... thing! ... rap something or other ... which he is interested in. Although he is (home town, seaside town) streetwise, I am a little apprehensive (stoopid mother!) about him. I'm sure he'll be fine, but it's my job to worry He has decided that, as Mr M is working a night shift, he won't "disturb" me with any texts ... like *that* won't worry me? ... and he'll see me tomorrow. I look forward to that!

Miles of smiles

Good morning Everyone,

Awwww Kandy ,that foot does look sore,wishing a speedy mend

Good to see you Mu/'m'.....it is hotting up for our furry ones now isn't it....the earlier class will be much better for Ozzy....you know what they say.....Mad dogs and English 'Women' go out in the mid day sun ...I'm sure your son will be fine but that still won't stop you from worrying

It sounds like you have recharged your batteries Shiney and had a well deserved rest from all the hustle and bustle of late....

Woo ...hows the back? she says...rummaging for her oily cloth i hope it's feeling easier today

Did you get your Massage chair Moyra?....that sounds great....you and Steve will be fighting over it

It is a real summers morning here....14 degrees already....haven't had to don the dressing gown this morning...it's lovely

Waves to the Pennys,Lili's ,Jaz's et all....

Have a relaxing day,take care

 

Aloha everyone,

Shiney you do sound as though you are having a great time just lately carry on enjoying yourself you earned it.

Loli it is not that warm here in fact it is quite chilly from a north wind and there is no sunshine to warm it up either. May have to resort to putting the heating back on it is so cold. Yes our new back massager came yesterday and Steve has been using it and it has helped his back incredibly he was able to take Amber for a long run this morning. Brilliant!

M, I think Ozzy has the right idea, no point in getting caught up in somebody else's aggression. He understands that you are the leader of his pack and therefore you are the one to defend him. Lol.

WOO,Hope your back is a bit better today. Take no more risks with that back of yours. Nip over this side of the water and have a go with our new back massager, do you the world of good.

Kandy, I hope you are resting that foot, no sure the state of it that you have a lot of choice.

Have a great day everyone

Aloha!

 

Good afternoon everyone,

Many thanks everyone for your good wishes. I still find it hard to believe that by stubbing my toe could have caused it to break but this is the third time this has happened on the same foot but a different toe this time.All i did was walk through the lounge door on the way to locking the conservatory door as we have had some suspicious characters in the village and the police helicopter was called out in the early hours of Friday morning as some toe rags were trying to break into peoples cars,so I had taken off my slippers ready to put on my shoes ready for going out when i must have caught the toe either on the door frame or the bottom of the dooras i walked through the door opening into the lounge. The air was blue I can tell you and i was nearly in tears but never thought i had broken anything until the morning went on and as in the photo,this is the outcome.I've been hobbling round in sandals today,and Mr Kandy has told me off for trying to carry on,but i spent all afternoon/evening lying on the settee getting bored yesterday so thought i would try to carry on today

Hope everyone has had a good day and hopefully i will pop back tomorrow to make sure you are all ok

 

it may be the spine vertebrae/discs but also a muscle: you wouldn't believe the amount of aggravation that a strained muscle can give you that feels like your back is broken.

An initial rest of a couple of days followed by little activity where you don't hurt and extremely little activity where it hurts. The pain is a message in which your body tells you that something is wrong!

Also hot baths and massages with tiger balm or similar substances for muscles surelly will help. Good luck! And a speed recovery wish to Kandy as well, for her broken toes.
