Forecast overcast..but today developed into quite a bright sunny day..
As I'd woken early I put the washing machine to work, while I did nothing in particular most of the morning!
Just after lunchtime one of Pirate's best friends rolled up on his bike..time for a cuppa and a good natter. This friend was the local cyclist who made him most welcome over thirty years ago and showed him all the best cycling lanes and byways.
Off to see Pirate after that..and he is looking better..and walking a little more normally although still with a frame..
It doesn't look like he will be ready to come home in the next couple of days..but better to be even a week longer and be 100% sure that he is ready.
Like yesterday we watched the six nations rugby...Italy V France this time...a draw, which was a fair result..but oh so near to a win for Italy, as a kick for goal bounced off the upright post.
I saw two big skeins of birds flying over on the way back home...swans I'm sure...and one group of over thirty big birds.
The car isn't running completely smoothly all the time..so it's a good thing it goes for attention on Tuesday..and I'll go by bus tomorrow afternoon!!
Meanwhile...as my main tool for Ancestry, the laptop is away...back to fleabay!
This saddle is on...more tomorrow morning, hopefully!!

How lovely to have an unexpected visit from a good friend to share a cuppa and a natter.
...I hope that the progress continues.

Well Pirate has been fixed, then computer next, then car to get it's problems solved. Bing bang bong and maybe in a couple of weeks nothing will be in need of repair. Well, Pirate will continue healing of course. Nice to have a chat with that friend earlier, and oh the waterbirds flying over sound so wonderful!
A visits from your good friend sounds lovely and enjoying some tea/coffee makes the visit perfect. Getting the car serviced is important as you want solid reliability. The game sounds pretty good as the teams were well matched. The swans flying overhead sound spectacular.
What a lovely surprise. I bet he was just popping in to check on you.
I hope you got to and back from the hospital without getting rained on
I notice that you are counting the days. I hope that there will be much success.
Good that you ae finding time to relax and, as you say, it is better for Pirate to stay in hospital until he is well and truly ready to come home. All too easy to get an early discharge.

Good to hear that all is progressing well.
Best wishes to Pirate - if he needs a walking aid I would suggest a frame without wheels or a trolley with tray and wheels and brakes. I found the frames with wheels quite scary for walking - an ever-present fear of it running away with me. Hope you get plenty of sunshine soon - a great healer.
Yes, better that Pirate stay put for now, to be sure he's ready to come home. I'm sure he's eager, but that's not the same thing!
Pirate may have developed a fondness for some of his nurses! Noooooo! Getting better but staying smart, that's the way to go.
