Sounds like a great move for you. It’s always wise to think 10-15 years ahead as you get older, it seems you’ll be in a locality that meets all your needs now and in the future.

Gorgeous xWell a last minute decision has found us in Fowey having decided if I have to rest I might as well do it with a better view than Wigan. Plus it’s our wedding anniversary tomorrow (36 years, 40 since we met). There’s something magical about looking at the river/sea and I love all the boats that go past. The blue and White House is where Daphne Du Maurier lived. Happy St Patrick’s Day too for those who celebrateView attachment 299283
Oh I hope you feel better soon. Bad backs are so painful. Have you thought about swimming? Low impact, and you get support from the water.
Pure coincidence but my back has been causing me jip too ( combination of gardening and ping pong ) so I did an extra couple of sessions of back yoga over the weekend and today I was digging for 2 hours planting prairie grasses in my tropical garden.
Wouldn't say my back is perfect but not too bad.
I've been to numerous yoga teachers and even spent some time at an ashram in India. Now at the stage where I pretty much know what works for me and my own practice.
Good luck Brett
Cheers mate. Even before any of this lark I knew I had terrible range of motion through my hips in particular. Should have got onto yoga years ago, but better late than never and all that!
There are some very good videos on YouTube specifically about yoga for back pain which you might find useful mate
Hi folks. Lots to catch up on. I'm excited for Jess too @Gwladysover I love it when youngsters are fully enthused by something. Are you going to any of the performances? So glad you liked the flat @Barnfred 55 - it sounds gorgeous. Enjoy your break @Val P . I must go to Cornwall again. It's a beautiful place but it's a long way from here. Last time we went, it took 13 hours to drive! Traffic jams, roadworks.... @fandjango ,pleased you are back home. And @jazzy and @Ducans elbow I was equally delighted that the rs blew up yesterday. Quite a few of my workmates inexplicably needed emergency leave today
. I wonder why? Mr F is so happy and, to be fair, the absolute joy from the more conscientious colleagues who actually turned in was infectious.
Not much to tell you about. I'm going carpet shopping tomorrow after work, I bought some new garden furniture today - proper stuff, the ones with cushions. It was a real bargain so I'm well happy.
However Liverpool City Council have been absolute pains today. We have received a Council tax bill for Dad's house. This is in spite of us doing everything we were supposed to and my brother having a bill from last October when he moved out, showing zero balance. My brother rang them, they said they had asked for further information in February just gone and had emailed us both. They hadn't. They want proof that the sale went through and the names of the people who bought it. I sent them the completion statement from the solicitors and directed them to the Land Registry who will supply a copy of the transfer. Absolutely useless.
Have a pleasant night all x

Apparently they either work or they don’t. Mine did and the Doc said to consider them for big days out etc as the pain was constant and brutal. Post surgery, I won’t ever be the same but I’m back playing recreational GAA, walking miles every week and life’s good.
If you can avoid surgery then do so as it’s risky. No choice for me but it’s like a lot of things I guess, you learn to adapt. Pre surgery I was in absolute misery with morphine masking the pain for me. Now, meds free and while still daily pain I refuse to let it hold me back.
The doctor suggested swimming, cycling etc. I’m gonna get the races out of the way first, because the missus would brain me if I did myself a mischief before she gets chance to get herself in the Echo, and then I will get cracking on them.
I’ve always loved the water tbf, just that usually I’d rather be floating about with a rum and coke.
Christ. Your need sounds like it was a lot greater than mine! Glad it’s all worked out for you.
It’s a challenge in itself, finding a routine I can work to and pose the lowest risk possible to my back. I’m not a proud fella so I’ll do whatever I need to, to try to maintain what fitness I have and drop a bit of timber. If it means Speedos and yoga kecks so be it. Lock up your grandmothers, IOM!

Thank you. I’m really looking forward to it, I love seafood. Not fully recovered at all sadly, pottered all morning, slept all afternoon. I’m so frustrated that I can’t get going but it is what it is.

We went to yesterday evening’s show. The whole thing was excellent, pleased to report the cartwheel routine went very well, she was still buzzing when she came out. Post show exhaustion set in soon after and she was off school today with a sore throatHi folks. Lots to catch up on.

.Hope you get things sorted with the council soon, these organisations are a pain in the rear end sometimes. We had no end of trouble with the Land Registry after Mum died, had to send copies of the deeds and my Dad’s death certificate from 1984, took months to sort it not made easier by my having no passport or driving licence to prove my ID.
