I see I haven't written a blog since the first of October and the calendar says it's the first of November. Not that the sunshine and mild temperatures seem to confirm that date, but still...We have settled back into the routine, apart from some modifications caused by my health, such as a sieste after dinner. I'm still not driving, so Kim ferries us about, a bit of a worry, this, as we are reliant on one driver, and Kim's wrist is still painful after her break on May 26th. When consulted, our doctor says she has algoneurodystrophy, a painful condition which can last up to three years! I shall have to get permission to drive asap but the continuing weakness of my left arm means this will be some time yet. Still, it is steadily improving from Kine and home exercise and we hope that the doctor will give the all-clear soon.
A more cheerful report about the recovery of our cat Indie knocked down in the road second of September , she had a badly broken rear leg and tail. The vet at Brioux X-rayed her and fitted her with an external support over a plaster cast . After limping around for weeks, this was removed and she now runs and plays as before. The tail, however, hung limp, and the hair fell off the end third, which disappeared while we were away! She is left with a short stump which doesn't seem to be an inconvenience. The sole reminder is a hairy vet's bill which we are paying off in instalments....
We still haven't lit the log-burner, though we are lighting the gaz fired heater in the evenings as it gets chilly after dark.
That's all the news for the moment, bye for now!
