The pie filling is
cooling down before I put the puff pastry top upon it. It’s a gammon one today,
using up some leftovers from the freezer.
The Fox went to his screening
yesterday. All is well. The reason why they don’t do subsequent screening
unless something has been found, is that any aneurysm is so slow growing that
if it hasn’t shown signs before you are 65, you will be dead before it becomes
a problem. Still it’s one less thing to worry about, not that we were worrying
until he got called in for the screening.
Then yesterday
afternoon I overdid things. The sun has been shining all week. There’s even
some warmth. The Fox mowed the lawns on Monday, so yesterday I got on with the
job of trimming the edges. I did one lawn. By the time I’d done that, &
stopped to tidy up some lavender bushes, my back, & even more the back of
my thighs, were aching badly. I was hard pushed to stand up straight. It was
early to bed for me – a good straight 12 hours of sleep to recover, the best
sleep I’ve had in ages. I’m still feeling the aches. My hot shower this morning
eased them but did not dispel them. I’m trying to resist the urge to go out
& tackle that second lawn. The sun, the light & warmth, is calling. I’m
just not sure I’m up to it.
