Good Friday evening

I had hoped we would make it to the Good Friday celebration at our Vineyard this evening but due to my broken ankle and Angie’s bad back we can’t make it. I really really understand Angie not wanting to drive and know she is as disappointed as me but it doesn’t take away my disappointment. I had really been looking forward to it.

My first checkup

This morning I had my first check up after my fractured ankle. We arrived at 9 a.m. thinking we would be amongst the first there only to find we were along way from being the first.
After about 20 mins I was sent to have an xray. The radiologist was extremely brusk  (is that the word) . unsympathetic would not be an unreasonable description. Once the xray had been done I was sent back to the fracture clinic where in a very short time I was seen by the same registrar I had seen in A&E on Saturday. He was happy with the xray and said I could continue with the boot but should elevate my leg whenever possible. Angie then brought me home and cooked me “a full English” more or less with frothy coffee and then left me to my own devices as she dashed off to her vigil at Anna’s as she could give birth at any moment…..
The next 5 weeks is going to be very testing both physically and mentally.

I broke my Ankle 12th April 2014

My sisters 67th birthday was on Saturday 12th and I tried to contact her but as usual got no reply.

Angie and I had arranged to go for a walk with Matt and Tor in Thetford Forest. We took the dogs and it was pleasant with a go on a huge tube slide.

After the walk Tor and I went on a big swing and I had a bad break and broke my ankle. Problem was I didn’t realise it until later when Angie took me to the hospital.

Not a good end to the day.

Mothering Sunday

Last night the clocks went forward one hour giving us lighter evenings.
Today is mothering Sunday. Angie and I went to church and it was a good service with teaching from Louise. Louise has been teaching on why Jesus had to die over the last few weeks. It’s useful to listen to the podcast from the website (www.wsvc.org.uk )
As we left church we were given bunches of daffodils to give to someone. Angie didn’t want to do this and so I went to two of our neighbours and have them the flowers and an invite to our Easter events. Personally I doubt they will come but it would be great if they did.
After the service we rushed home as Angie’s children were coming to cook lunch.
Josh and Anna arrived first and Josh and I started work on changing the front disks and pads on Angie’s smart car. While we were doing that Matthew and Tim arrived and started preparing lunch of gammon steaks, corn on the cob, asparagus, curly chips and mange tout followed by frozen cheese cake.
While it was being prepared and after Josh and I had finished Angie’s car we sat and watched the Malaysian Grand Prix which Lewis Hamilton won for Mercedes.
After lunch everybody went for a dog walk (except me).
When the Dog walk was done Matt and Tim left and Josh and Angie left a little later.
The day was coming to a close.

2014 01 11 Life is a struggle

Life is a struggle at the moment. Angie and I have issues which we are trying to deal with but today while talking together she said she felt our relationship had failed.. We are with help of the Vineyard trying to deal with the issues but I am concerned we are on a slippery road. Tomorrow we will be at Vineyard in the morning and I hope with the help of God we will find a way.
