Di tutto un po'
My leg is making good progress and last Sunday I managed to do my first bit of gardening in months!
I had a massage last Friday and the masseur said that I'm very unbalanced (I don't think he meant mentally! LOL). My right leg has been doing the bulk of the work and there are knots in all the muscles on the right side: Michael said that he had ( Read more... ) -

Even Adrian who wasn't too keen on going in the first place loved it!

Of soup and feathers
The broccoli and almond soup that we had tonight at The Stockpot is repeating on me.
The Stockpot near Haymarket is a cheap restaurant and a strange place, full of taxi drivers, and lonely and slightly loony customers, some talking to themselves or to some imaginary friends, some reading the paper and some drowning their dining companion in a flood ( Read more... )
