Roof repairs will start on Monday 5th September. Over the moon with the estimate, cheaper than I expected.
The carpenter has been and looked at the jobs. Got an estimate off of him, just waiting on a date for him to start. Phoned the NHS Loan Supply Unit for them to collect the crutches, zimmer frame and the AirBoot. They will phone prior to collection but not for 3 weeks. Managed to cut the grass out front today. Put weedkiller down in the parking bays. Pretty good going for me today as I managed just over 2 hours on my feet before ankle started to ache. Hoping to power wash the parking bays at some point this week. The young lad who lives next door to me, Fletcher, is a keen moto cross competitor but crashed out on Saturday. Ended up in A&E at Derriford hospital. As he is a minor then he would be treated quickly. Along with his mum they only had to wait 5 hours to be seen. Broken collar bone. So that’s him out of action for awhile although he is back at school. That’s it for now. Catch up soon.

Getting back into the swing of things. Quite amazed of what I have achieved today. Ok so the ankle did ache but at least it didn’t become swollen.
Started off taking the garden rubbish to the tip in BBB. Once gone then home via the garden centre. Bought 3 bags, they were blooming heavy, of farmyard manure plus a few other bits. Then home to unload. First job was to have a go at unblocking the drain in our parking spot. It was jammed with soil, and roots. Dug out what I could, three quarters full of a buckets worth. Next job was to sweep clean the parking area. Then using the weedkiller spray again around the parking area’s. Managed to get Kelsey’s bay done as well. Moved on to tipping out the farmyard manure onto the front garden. Dug it in and then raked it. Put everything away. Coffee time. Moved BBB down to the side gate and she got cleaned inside and out. In between I took in parcels for my neighbours. Once the car was clean and put back into a space I was able to rest. The ankle was aching but no swelling. That’s the longest time I have spent standing up since last December. The painting on the house has been put back till after the roofers have finished. Ok with me. But the garden work will continue. Might do away with my lawn at the back. A trip to London is on the cards. More about that later.

Thanks
For your update, so wish we still had the invaluable Thanks button, perhaps as moderator you could see if a way to get it back?
Cheers and best wishes.

Unfortunately it’s not my department for reinstalling the Thanks button. I believe it’s something to do with the new system that we use. Either Pete, Paul or Christopher know about the full facts.
