The message has gotten through.  Could I please move the garden trolley so he can walk up and down along a garden.  Yesss, I can do that!  AND he walked the length of our road to help me with the camellias.  And maybe, the scoot could come out and I can try and sit on it to see how we could manage it Big Grin

Todays win.. May he keep it up. 

One day at a time Km... 

Winz should still pay if he gets a letter from the GP and Specsavers.

And I know what you are saying about the $$$.  MrK and I both need new glasses and him a hearing aid.  Over the years it has been MrK who has needed them more but now it's me as well.

I'm sure you did the right thing, KM. If only because the consequences of him not doing so could eventually be dire & affect both of you.

Another frosty start here but sunny now, had to wear the Aztec hat for the obligatory morning walk.

 Its a good thing that I no longer care how daft I look when taking Madame le Dog for the walk... Rolleyes

Lilith7, the name comes from this place, I have been there many time during my younger years in Africa. Apparently it was the first attempt in this part of Africa for an iron Age culture but was beaten to the marketplace by Arab traders/slavers bringing in iron implements when they scouted the area for slaves and fell into disrepair.

The Zimbabwe Bird is very famous and was the symbol of Southern Rhodesia.

I grew up in Ndola, Zambia after having being born in Bromley, Kent just outside of London.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Those ruins look as though they must have been quite imposing when they were newly built, & even now look intriguing. You have to wonder how many various peoples have had civilisations all over the planet in earlier times, which we know little or nothing about.

Well the brasier sold and has gone to new much younger owners, with stronger wrists, lol... And so I have pounced on an auction for a couple of milk bottles to replace the one I just broke doing something really dumb. I dropped a knife into it as it waited in the sink for washing, and sure enough, punched a little hole in the bottom in doing so. Trouble is, that is the second time I have done that. There will not be a third.

Stupid woman!

Ohh Hunnie its annoying when we break things in way we know is silly.

KM Also Add your Not a nurse and Cannot be on duty 24/7/52/365 days a year. and with your health doing things it hasn't done before you have to look after you first.
Easier said than done, I know, but your garden is a good way to vent the anger and frustrations that will come.

I've pretty much had a repeat of yesterday, including dinner lol.. Now Im having an apple which Im enjoying more than choccie lol.

Been texting with Dianne, she said her surgery sight is good, but her back isn't. She said something pinched and hurt getting out of the bed yesterday. She's using a walker. She said she never realised how safe they make you feel... I said that's why I still use mine in the morning especially until the bones have all released and if Im carrying meals.

Going to do some homework tonight about the Markets in Thames, so I can make a date with Gayle. Cos she will have to do a "Swapsy" as they call it at the Hemodialysis when someone needs to change a day.

Must look and see how todays first market here went.
