Thankfully, there are no particular contra-indications (some of them can be quite nasty…)

I had a Danish friend who used to swallow Metronidazole/Flagyl with Whaite Waine , until they had to summon an ambulance…

She did live until she was 85 though…

Danes can cope with that language of theirs, after all.

Meanwhile Glorious Skoda is loaded and I seem to have half an hour to spare that I could have spent sleeping. (This after having spontaneously woken seven minutes before the alarm.) Ah well, at least this year I didn’t wake up to a fridge-induced power cut.

Physio on Monday, good progress. The physio effectively told her to stop playing within herself and go through the pain barrier. Mrs A’s been, unsurprisingly, concerned that things might not be progressing but is now persuaded to ‘push’ matters along.

10 weeks on Saturday. They said 12 before it would be moving more normally. I suspect a couple extra but it’s sort of ‘as advertised’.

Oh good news then

I am surprised constantly by folk who do exercises when with physioterrorists but do nothing until next appointment

And complain that physio has not worked

They give you exercises for good reason!

So give her my sympathy and tell her from me that exercises actually work

Meanwhile, I came downstairs and opened the blind to see a completely unknown BMW on the drive, nose down towards the house. Luckily I got email telling me that it was legit before I had called the police to ask advice about it....

Belongs to the friend who is travelling with Hedgers to That Furrin, and calling in the rozzers would have wasted their time and made him cross.

Ooo nowt irritates peelers like being called to a suspicious vehicle that is legally parked and has good reason to be there

This is a nugget from many years of experience

Policing an area with a shopping main street and loads of streets of terraced houses leading off said shopping road

If a car is legally parked on a side street outside a busybody’s house while the owner goes to the butcher the greengrocer the hardware shop and so on it is 99.999999999% guaranteed no to be a car bomb!
