This is definitely a significant achievement for everything it represents, like regaining independence and a touch of normality, as well as all those hundreds of small (and not so small) physical improvements, like being able to actually get down there, to stretch and balance, and all those muscles working together, hand eye coordination etc. Well done your dad, and everyone helping him on the road x
Chewie is intent on helping OH do his exercise routine this evening, first by sleeping on his yoga mat, then by licking him.
Also, his walker was very excited to tell us that Chewie swam today! Normally he only splashes about. Well... She showed us a video. He jumped in after another dog, realised he couldn't stand and immediately swam out.

Blind baking a pastry case and having to explain to Paul that " Pass me the baking beans please " did not mean a tin of baked beans 
I had a proper soggy bottom pastry disaster yesterday, my steak and mushroom filling just soaked right through the pastry. Never mind, it was still nice, and OH is compleltely unobservant about foodBlind baking a pastry case and having to explain to Paul that " Pass me the baking beans please " did not mean a tin of baked beans

Rory looks a proper smasher. I can't believe how big he's got and sitting up. Lovely to see him up doing boy stuff
Otter's face though is hilarious!!

Benson's face is slightly disapproving. "C'mon, kid, you're just embarrassing yourself"

Another memory that has made me smile. Several years ago it was Halloween on a Saturday and Trevor and I were getting into the car to do the weekly shop. The people over the road were spraying fake cobwebs around the front of their house. Trevor said quite smugly ' Hah! We don't have to buy fake cobwebs! We've got the real thing!' I did point out to him that this was perhaps not something that we should necessarily be proud of!

Me too! My friend Liz also. She says 'A pristine house is a sign of a life unlived.'

I couldn't agree more. If I were to have a spotless house I would spend most of my precious spare time doing it. I'd rather play with my dog and/or catch up with my dear friends on MLFMe too! My friend Liz also. She says 'A pristine house is a sign of a life unlived.'

I have a couple of friends who work 4 days a week just in order to have time to clean their already spotless homes. Honestly, I just want to scream 'life is too short!' at them. I must admit to feeling anxious when they come over and poor OH rolls his eyes as I insist we do a 'visitor' clean.
My dad has this sorted. He works from home one day a week and uses his lunch break/the commute time to do the cleaning.
We are lazy and just have a cleaner. But obviously that doesn't solve the mess problem. Or the dog hair problem.
