Peter Ball is …….

Today, Friday, another week is coming to an end and I will have been in my “Boot” for 4 weeks.

I had the pleasure of a visit from a dear friend from church, David Theobold. David arrived for lunch and we had soup and croissant together. David came to Thetford for physiotherapy and we discussed getting his blood pressure down and improving his general cardio thoracic fitness. After lunch we chatted for quite some time and then David kindly took me to Aldi to stock up on salad and a few other odds and ends.

An afternoon with some sunshine. What a nice afternoon we had.  Matt came with Siobhan and Joshua with Anna and Poppy MayHere are a few pictures to show our afternoon

Its been a funny week. Angie has been off with back problems and again I have been confined to the house for most of the week.

On Monday we had our first ever delivery from ASDA with a shop we had done online. It was all a bit of a non event with a rather large man arriving at our door with boxes packed with shopping.
Angie has a very short acceptance of boredom and is very restless. On this day she had a major migraine and spent most of the day in bed.

Wednesday was our next notable day. Angie took me out to the Garden Centre………. We had a light lunch and sat and looked at the view from the terrace.
Thursday was a good day with three buses coming all at the same time. In the morning we had a call from Ian Large who said he was coming over to cut our grass. He arrived just as Angie was going out to see Anna in Mildenhall. We have new neighbours at No 4 who happen to be called “Peter and Angie” and they came over to say hullo.. While chatting with them they let slip they were looking for a decorator, a plumber and a gardener. Ian picked up on this and offered his services. He got himself 3-4 days work doing decorating.
As he finished Gill and Rupert Green arrived to walk our dogs. Firstly they took Beattie out for a decent walk with Almond and then on their return they took Lomu and Berkley out for a shorter walk. They had barely gone when Mike and Fyl Bevan arrived to chat.

What a day…………. Its a shame it doesn’t get more spread out.

Friday was spent with us at home waiting for Ben to arrive in the evening. So, a not very interesting week………

Today has been a funny day. Angie got up and continued with the migraine she had had for the last 24 hours. After a little persuasion she allowed me to ring the doctor on her behalf. The doctor rang back and made her an appt for later in the morning when she went to the Health centre and was prescribed with some drugs to help with the migraine but the pharmacy didn’t have the drugs to stop her being sick. She has spent the day in bed while I have hobbled trying to do jobs on my crutches.

It will be another 4 weeks before I get rid of these crutches and stop watching daytime TV and re runs on Amazon Prime……… although I am enjoying Tom Selleck in Blue Bloods
