Samhain...dios de Los muertos.... Halloween

 This morning I saw the physio in our village surgery...just to be assessed.

The verdict, two sprained ankle ligaments....I have exercises and instructions...and she did eventually realise what level of activity is normal for me and to what level I have competed....and that I understand her technical terms !! It doesn't sound as if she has ever dealt with any athletes, but at least we arrived at mutual respect! 

I have exercises.....

This afternoon I went foraging for pears.





The storms have brought nearly everything off the branches.... eventually I found half a shopping bagful hiding in the grass! 

Back home then, and stopped by a neighbour for a chat as dusk fell...dark soon after 5pm now.

Supper...and then thoughts of Pirate, and others whose company we have lost.

I'm so sorry to hear that -- it sounds painful. I'm not sure if you mentioned it before as I missed so much while I was gone. But boy, no fun. At least you are able to be productive, which doesn't always happen! Hang in there!

It seems you have a good physio. These injuries seem to take time to heal.
Remembering Pirate and cherishing all the good times will be with you forevermore. You shared a lovely life together.

It's an ill wind that blows no good. Looks like that wind helped out out.

Hugs to you. As the evenings get longer, it seems that our minds have time to ponder.

I hope the physio returns your ankles to full functionality soon! Yes, Samhain is the time to remember absent friends and family alright -- I am doing the same tonight.

I'm glad you saw the physio. I hope it helps. What a haul of fruit!
