Getting nearer

 Pirate is really ready for his op..I just wish that he had seen the light months earlier....but that is past, now we deal with what is. 

He also has the same pre race nerves as when he was racing... understandably!

We managed a short walk after a late lunch...after even a short siesta he takes an hour to get going...the mattress topper has made our bed far too comfortable!!  We checked the frogspawn pond..nothing yet...although yesterday just down from our home I saw a car squashed toad on the road...

The forecast was for overcast and 10% chance of rain...we had light rain and blue sky on our walk, and very inquisitive sheep.






Then shopping for new knickers, 'jamas, dressing gown and sliders...

Ready for tomorrow morning.

During my visit last year I got to shear one of those types of sheep. Such a placid thing it was
Good luck for tomorrow, I’m sure it will all go well. But yes. I totally get the nerves.

Hope all goes well and for a quick recovery. What you say about taking a while to get going is so true. The constant tiredness and exhaustion are frustrating.

I wonder what those sheep are thinking? Are they wondering if you have food? At any rate I am thinking of you and pirate in the final countdown. I imagine this will be so good to have behind you. Love XO

I'm waiting for the frogs again too. However, here in Canada, I won't hear their ribbits for at least two months yet. Sigh.
