Aladdin's cavePosted on Mon 24 September 2007 at 09:33Well today we found out we are harbouring thieves. Melissa moved the waterproof cover on the patio table and there was a veritable treasure trove under there that the kitties have stolen and taken home. Socks, another rubber glove, some string, some foam, a face cloth, something that looks like the plastic off of a table-tennis bat, a shoelace, half a bouncy ball with a smiley face on it and most bizarrely, a clump of fluff and muck that looks like the contents of a hoover bag.And talking of kitties, the siren song has stopped – indeed stopped a few weeks ago. After a long careful look at the Poppy kitty, I think I have the answer. Yup, she may well be having kitties of her own before too long. She still looks quite kittenish herself but there is a definite rounding of the belly there. She looks content so we will just have to wait and see. My dreams of world domination at the 10k jog may well come crashing down around my ears. My knee is soooo sodding sore I may well have to bow out gracefully and give up any ideas about taking part in the 3 events coming up in the next 2 months. Damn you, poorly knee!! I am pretty gullible when it comes to tablets, liniments, lotions and potions so I have Tiger balm, Ibuprofen rub, heat rub etc but I did manage to stop myself from buying magnetic plasters. They are meant to help increase the blood flow to the affected area…..HOW? I have an appointment with the podiatrist in a fortnight’s time. My GP recommended this practice as they do sports injuries. So I have to take my main shoes and my running shoes and he will make shoe inserts that should help correct my stride and stop the pain. A whole week into the Gym’s 8 week challenge and I am marginally leaner and healthier (apparently!). This surprises me a tad as my knee has stopped me training and we had a night on the pop on Friday – followed by the usual lazy day after and all the snacking that usually accompanies it. I’m not complaining but will have to try a bit harder this week and hopefully poorly knee will make a remarkable recovery. Yeah!!!! Both Steve and | passed the car driving theory test. I will happily tell you that I passed at 35 out of 35 and Steve passed at 34 out of 35. I’m not so happy that I didn’t pass the eyesight test. $70 later, after a trip to see my GP. I went back with some paperwork from him following another eye test and they passed me. Whoopee!! |
