Just doing the ordinary things...trying to get a short walk in for Pirate morning and afternoon. Working on his cardio vascular fitness and rebuilding muscle. Use it or lose it comes home at times like this, for both of us.
The weather isn't much help..dreich...damp, cold, and Easterly with a windchill bringing the feel down to freezing. Which means walks are even shorter! So having stairs is coming in handy. Ad break on the TV? Up and down stairs once or twice...keeps the circulation going, keeps him feeling warmer!
One day at a time....and if it ends up being two steps forward and one back....that ends up as one step forward!
Meanwhile I am trying to do jobs for me...starting to clear out the kiln shed, sorting things to go to the cowp, hopefully listing more things on fleabay...in between house sorting...making feel less cluttered as well as decluttering... and increased washing.
Getting to the town on the bus is a relief..a break from home and from driving! A good chance to get the car in for a bit more work, getting jobs done bit by bit instead of a huge amount before it's annual MoT test.
We have just watched the final of the Pottery Throwdown Programme.
A worthy winner, but close. Good to see, and inspiration for me as well.

...keep on ticking sounds like a good plan to me.
It sounds like a gradual progression which is good. I also like the sound of the stair exercise. I always use the stairs when available (not that often here)

Has Pirate been given any physio exercises? I worked out my own - light bending and stretching to keep limbs mobile, as well as walks and stairs and jobs to keep active. Now going to do bins, water plants, ironing. All very boring, except it's not when you've finished.
Going to town on a bus. I wish we had public transport where we live.
Donna's work was all beautiful, and she was a worthy winner; my favourite was Dan though, a bit of a maverick :)
No he hasn't Tasker... his middle is still mending..the surgeon couldn't do a keyhole, so he has what looks like trousers zip with his belly button at the top 😄 it is gradually healing though and he is walking upright at last.
Donna was well organised as well as talented!
I liked all the finalists..and it is always good to see what all the original contestants are up to now.
It is chicken and egg isn't it Dave.
Sometimes doing the little things gives great satisfaction. Did I miss the delivery of the hospital bed?
Debby the physio in the hospital had him doing stairs! After four days home he was confident enough to cancel the bed
Stairs are a great idea. We don't have any here and it would help with my rehab. I am glad you have the option of a bus for shopping. Good luck to Pirate and you. One step forward is terrific.
One step forward is … forward! ❤️
That’s life reqlly. We just keep ticking along. Days, weeks and even months go by with nothing extraordinary happening.
To be honest. I like it that way.
Yes the weather has been disappointing recently (well months really) and I agree about the worthy winner of the pottery throw down, her work was of such a high standard, really good series :)
It sounds like a good philosophy, to keep ticking along/over as best you can. And I'm pleased to hear you are finding a little time for yourself as well.
