Six weeks before Hubby can lift anything heavier than a bag of sugar… But he is home, with the idea now that he’s less exposed to unhealthy bugs at home, but he will also have me muddling through the new diet post-surgery which involves less meat, more fish and lots of fruit and veg! Suits me!

But perhaps you’ve realised regular readers that my activity levels have changed in recent months. I lost some get up and go recently so high step counts were not regular and dizzy falls were more frequent. I fell on a tube escalator which caused me some panic, but nothing got caught by the moving bits.

But as R is a very reluctant walker without me, and confused by dad’s hospital smells, I will swap gardening for strolls round the common which is becoming a favourite on quiet days.
