Out and About

As I gradually recover some strength and energy, Julia and I are able to get out and about a bit more. Nothing too strenuous, except for poor Julia who has to push the wheelchair...

Following our outing to Westminster Abbey on Saturday, we went to look at the magnificent display of the flags of all the world's countries in Regent Street on Sunday.  Very impressed that Julia, who's a bit of a Flag Buff, could recognise almost all of them and attribute them to the correct country.  But then she wouldn't recognise a Carmine Bee-Eater (to pick a random example...) if it sat in her lap, so I guess we all have our own specialities.

Monday is Marsden clinic day, which always takes most of the day, then yesterday we went to see the newly-arrived young otters at the Barnes Wetland Centre and managed to get a very good view of them at feeding time which was a delight.


 And today we made a rather damp excursion to Battersea Park.

So, as you can tell, my energy levels are definitely improving, and it's very good to be able to get out of the house at last and do something other than the daily puzzles in the Times, though I'm still keeping my brain in trim with those as well. Last, but by no means least, it provides some relief for Julia too from the constant grind of meeting the demands of her Moaning Husband.
