Thursday. No work today. Got up a bit later, leisurely shower, breakfast, and then off to see the Physio at DVH. She checked my splint, and seemed impressed, saying it was 'quite funky' (obviously a technical term) and lighter than the one she would be able to provide! We then picked up a parcel from the Post Office, which contained some gadgets to help with daily living: a dining fork with a shaped tine for cutting food, a button hook and a dressing stick which has a range of hooks on either end to help with manipulating clothing. We came home, after a visit to the car wash, to sit and enjoy the warm sunshine on the patio. Monica found my Panama hat so I wore it for the first time this year. Very pleasant to sip a pint of Young's bitter, a ,gift from the landlord of the Malt Shovel. The garden looks lush at present. Lots of daisies on the grass which have all appeared since Toby mowed it on Tuesday. Mice had been at the bird seed in the store again. We topped up the feeders, scattered seed and peanuts on the bird table, then put the seed sack in a bucket to make it more difficult for rodents to access.
