Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

We met our son and daughter in law at Shepton Mallet as it was (almost halfway between us) for a distanced picnic in the town park. We hadn't seen them since before Christmas and had a great afternoon in brilliant sunshine.

 

Went to my brother in laws and had lunch in the garden with the kids having a great time playing together. Ended up moving the table about 5 times chasing the sun. Drank too much, but had a bloody good laugh. Hoping I can make it through Line of Duty tonight without snoring.

Been keeping up to date with this

 

My day started early with the first if 12 Physio Therapy sessions. Coincidentally it is with a Physiiotherapist Rui Miguel who saw me in hospital two years ago! I have to go Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and be there at 9am ... a 45 minute journey each way. The first session was 1hr 20mins and was good but he said I may ache later ... so far so good.

 

Thanks for the update Vicky...I was just thinking about you!!

Gosh one hour and twenty....that's certainly a workout!!!
Are all the sessions that long, definitely not that long over here....20-30 minutes if lucky.

Sounds very good indeed.

 

Boa tarde Upsy, thank for thinking of me. xx I think it was that long as it was first session, lots of questions etc, although he knew my background. It is at the hospital I was in three times so all my history is available on screen. I think in future they will be shorter ... I will report back on Wednesday. Not bad for under 25 Euros a session ... and to have a cutie being hands on with you.

 

You know me always nosey..I have to admit to Googling him....couldn't understand it ,except something about specialising in women's health...is that the one?? Sadly ( and more importantly as it was my reason for doing so) so photos of Rui .

Just had to check the exchange rate....just over £21... not bad at all!!

Was it quite relaxing....

 

Helped the neighbour install some new fence panels - we go 50/50 on the cost. They are slotted concrete posts - so you have to lift up the whole panel and drop it in from the top.

Took us both an hour and half - 95% of the time complaining , cursing and catching our breath - the other 5% actually doing the fencing work. Mind you the Sun was out.

 

His name is Rui Miguel Faria Furtado Cintra, graduated in 1997, worked in Lisbon till 8 years ago when he joined Hospital Particular Alvor. I'll see if I can find a photo.

 

Oh not the same one that I Googled then by the sound of it !! This one came from Aveiro...???

Very nice indeed Vicky!!!

 

He is cute even with the mask ... but such a chatterbox! He graduated in 1997 so looks young for his age (late 40s I guess).

 

I was going all seed grown this year but caved in quickly when I saw the plugs at B&Q this morning. Picked up a couple of trays of trailing petunia - 12 plugs for £11. The lobelia was far more advanced than my own seed grown - but I managed to stop myself from buying more.

I smuggled the plugs back into the bungalow underneath my jacket - I don't think the neighbours clocked me .

 

Silliness. That is what the trunk/boot of the car is used. You leave them in there and smuggle in later under cover of darkness!
