What made you smile today?

To those like us (daft dog women) it isn't a big effort to have a pup in the house but you'd be surprised how many mothers of grown up children would refuse

Mine always said no. She thought I’d get sick and and her and my dad would end up with a dog they didn’t want.

She can clearly see now how wrong she was!

The amount of face pulling and trauma you get from him because he's got to do stuff is epic

Well let him pull a face, you have to rest you are in pain. It will only take you longer if you don't.

Yesterday was a lovely day. I went for a long hike in the mountains with some friends and our dogs, and then had a BBQ with two of them.

This video from the before we started the walk (hence why Ginny and J are still there) made me smile:

 

[SwampDonkey]

Yep and I've got my crutches of power now. They are very sturdy.

 

[edzbird]

Oh Fkn heck @SwampDonkey . The dogs will be fine without their walks. Be very careful on those crutches, sturdy as the might be. Just be careful.

Yep, bye Maisy, Baxter and Kipper - Hello Blondies.
Usually my calendar is over my desk at work but I bought it home with me, didn't want to miss any pictures.

Hope you can manage the pain @SwampDonkey , sounds horrible x

Nathan has been learning about Australia, the history of Australia, reconciliation week etc. in Kinder recently.

Tonight he noticed a mark on the vanity in the bathroom and asks where it came from. I explained that I wasn't sure as it was there before we moved in so it was probably from the people that lived here before us. His response "ah, it must have been the 'abradidiginals' as they lived here before us"

Good try mate

He is just too stinkin' adorable! And smart, too, as he's worked that out with infallible kid logic!

Big smiles all round at mine this morning xx

Hope you're OK Swampy

@SwampDonkey, did you tear the ligaments even more? What is the prognosis? How long to rest? Thank heaven you have the dogs for company, they do make things seem better,

 

[SwampDonkey]

I had heart palpitations. Suspected broken ankle and in the words of the paramedic something funny going on in my knee. On x-ray nothing was broken and my knees bones were where they should be, but there is a lot of new boney growth in both my ankle and knee. It's a mess and the knees grinding bone on bone. The nerves are affected in my feet and leg and im in a lot of pain. They think it's all badly sprained follow up will he happening in the next few weeks. I go to rest use crutches and not do any thing for 2 weeks. Once all the swelling gone down and I can walk again we'll see.

Our local garden is excellent. I enjoyed it more than a ‘normal’ visit. I got two daisies and a delphinium.

@kateincornwall what a lovely sight to see.
Is that Adam sitting down? Looks like a very handsome young man

 

[Loraseal]

@SwampDonkey knee injuries are the pits and recovery seems to take for eternity Honestly you really cannot walk the dogs for at least a week. I know you want to..... I still walk Hunter with my knee brace and regret joining the boys at the beach as this meant 2 days of pain. Is it a sprain or do you think you have torn something? Did the orthopedic doc look at your knee?

 

[SwampDonkey]

They've told me to rest for 2 weeks completely. I can walk without crutches so I can't do anything.

 

[Jen]

Me: I know.. I’ll have a nice relaxing bath.

2 minutes later..
