A pleasant enough day here.
We DID have plans to go to Stockton Heath, have walk around then lunch in a Turkish restaurant. However, something strange and unpleasant happened last night and we are not sure what course of action to take.
MrsD went to bed 15 minutes before me. When I went up she was lying on the floor.. just as she was about to get into bed her leg gave way and she was in serious pain around the knee. As we/she cant think of any cause we decided to let it rest overnight and hopefully all will be ok(I did help her into bed-as a gent' would). But this morning its not any better!!! I have just taken her something light to eat so she could then take 3 Ibuprofen. I am now waiting to see if they do the trick but tbh I have my doubts.
I was about to say "its no fun this getting old lark" but we have no idea what the cause is........and my back problem goes back 50+ years.
Question is........what to do if her knee doesn't improve ??

Doctors Monday if its no better. This is similar to how my Good Lady's problems started, she woke up with a sore swollen knee one morning and has had very restricted mobility since, currently awaiting an appointment booked for March

Good morning. Blowing 40mph winds here today. The last time I went for a ride was January 10th. The rotten weather has stopped me ever since. :cursing:
Going to see my daughter on Anglesey this afternoon and check on my grand son's progress on his driving. His test is booked for Feb 27th.
I will probably stop at the bike shop in Bangor on the way back and dream on the bikes I would like to have but can't really justify the cost.:sad:
Enjoy your weekend everyone. ^_^

A nice day for a long walk with the dog. Later we are going to the local theatre at Potters Bar to watch Kristina Rihanoff , ex of strictly come dancing. She has a dance show that is touring around. MrsP likes this sort of show. So do I really.
We are also going to see Anton Debeke later in the month at the Barbican theatre in London.

Good morning - A sunny morning and 11°C. Not sure what I'll be going yet. Maybe take a look around the garden to see what wants doing.

Have the best day possible :smile:

When we got rid of our pond we had the area turfed but it was too late in the year to mow it.
That area is growing very quickly:eek:. I am not sure how long I can wait before I have to mow it.

Out of interest, which part of Anglesey does she live?
Is it Dickyknees that lives near 4 mile bridge?
