Hair Cut

Managed to squeeze in a change of hair this morning. Can’t believe how much it’s grown. Pretty short now tho, but I love it. 

Another Operation for John

Following his ankle fusion in mid 2024, John has suffered extreme pain in his foot. Very different from his arthritic pain but still debilitating. 

His surgeon felt that the upper part of his ankle bone had not vascularised around the pin and so suggested one pin being removed and a larger one put in. 

So today he went into St Richards for another day surgery. 

After looking at the X-rays it appears that the surgeon removed the old smaller screws and added 3 larger ones. 

He’s now got a big boot on and 6 weeks signed off work.  So hoping this will reduce his pain. 

Weekend Doodle

I love the way Mya passes the time by drawing and gets so much pleasure from it. 

Career Interview at School

As part of Mya progressing towards her GCSEs and last 2 years of school, she had a career interview this week to introduce her to the world of working and representing herself. 

Not surprisingly she conducted herself with maturity and professionalism.  So proud of her and who she is becoming. 

First Lawn Cut of the New Year.

A breezy but sunny day and dry enough to cut the grass.  Makes me feel like Spring might be just around the corner. 

Peek'a'boo! Purdie keeping an eye from her favourite place in the lounge!

 

Back for Another Term of Chichester Festival Singers Group

 

National Theatre Audition

Mya has had a great day at Chichester festival Theatre. She was auditioning for ‘Ride or Die’ a production for the National Theatre. We’ll hear if she gets in over the next couple of days, but came away feeling really positive and made lots of new friends. 

This is Mya with friend Oral.  Sadly Mya didn't get a part in the end, but has come away even more determined to get in next time. 

Puzzle Time

Mya and I completed the puzzle this evening. 1000 pieces, only took us a couple of days.

Icy Morning Walk

 -3 degrees walking with Purdie this morning. Love these crisp days, so much better than damp rainy weather. 

Walk to Arundel

Such a beautiful, frosty morning. John, myself and Purdie rugged up and walked to Arundel along the river Arun.

 9kms with a stop in the town for drinks and lunch.
