I had a relapse following my knee surgery when I got out of my Laziboy and a sharp pain in the outer side of my knee made me see stars. Extremely sore for a few days to the point that I wasn't still able to get sock and shoe on by myself on the effected leg.

When I asked the surgeon about it he said that he makes perforations in the 'band' that connects the knee to the thigh as part of the surgery. This is to allow it to release as the healing process occurs. By 'release' he meant tears slightly which explained the pain I experienced.

Wise to give it a rest as you suggest and if still bothering you next week get onto the surgeon about it. Swelling is the body's natural protection strategy but definitely worth keeping an eye on it as swelling wasn't particularly present in my case.

So I sent back the required Yes and half an hour later there's a knock on the door and a lovely girl handed me the package!

Jan, I am pleased to see you using your signals when haring around on your bike. That 'boy' needs to see one from you about very fast, very big motorbikes. Maybe a Ducati would suit you, and red leathers to match...

Pruned mutabilis back, made a pot of cuttings and added some stalks of the rampant purple salvia. My friend who begged them from me might regret that one, but it is a great filler. And in the process pulled some stray grass seedlings to reveal hyacinth bulbs showing strong leaves, and my fridge chilled tulips are also up, surrounded by tiny white alyssum seedlings. With luck they should match up.

And my favourite Frenchmen at the cycle shop who look after my tyres have given up the struggle and moved on, sadly. I got to say thank you as they took the signage down, such lovely men, it was never a problem no matter when I showed up. So I'm going to get a little handheld compressor this week from Bunnings along with another garden box on legs. I'm thinking I might try strawberries again, be easier in one of those planters, and Awapuni have a nice strawberry package so I might treat myself....

But buggeration on the tyre thing.

let them get away??!

Seriously, you had  Frenchmen at your local cycle shop, completely failed to add them to your collection & let them get away??!
