Left hand playing up again today but I've found one of my support gloves to help a bit. Not sure what I did to deserve that, unless it was prising the tight, plastic lid off of a canister yesterday. It seems to take less and less to cause pain in muscles and joints.

Good to see today's post that it's improving .


Wasn't aware of such things and with the bad hand playing up I've been using the wrist strap more of late to protect it a little bit .

Looked up the gloves, liked the reviews so I purchased a pair.

Let's see if they can offer anything to my hand < pray >

So thank you for post .
 
Myself and melody had some time out at Brierley Forest Park today as it was quite sunny and warm I have been visiting the park over several years now and people have said that there are roe dear in the park but as sightings of them are very rare I had never caught a glimpse of them until today when two ran across the path ahead of us it was so fleeting we never got the chance of a photograph of them but was so pleased to see them I feel quite privileged.

I have light weight ones and 2 types of heavy duty ones. I used the very heavy duty ones all yesterday (made of the same stuff that wetsuits are made of) but put on the lighter one overnight. Between them they seem to have fixed it for now. Just need to be careful how I open cans and jars.

Due to my arthritis, I went shopping for the utensils, such as a tin opener, that had bigger handles etc.
As the old ones, I struggled to use.
With some material such as the wetsuit stuff. To stop being sweaty inside, use talc or the stuff weight lifters use.
When I had carpal tunnel, before the op. Keeping the wrist support/protector dry helped when doing stuff.

Smashing - really picks up the colours. I like the one that looks as though the dragonfly is captured in a water droplet.
 
Good morning everyone on a Moist Van Lipwig of a start to the day here in French Froggy France. 5.4 this a.m. Rain did not stop play yesterday. Mind you, the French are not well versed in the rules of cricket. A Demi-kilo of crevettes in the market yesterday; some with a Caesar salad last night and more for this evening. Smashing lunch at the parents favourite restaurant. Packing today - an 0830 train to catch in the morning - it will be a long day of trains and trams and planes - no boats thank you. Hopefully an uneventful journey or there and back again. Art bit, more ink splodges - last one tomorrow. The rain has stopped, for now. Have a smashing Sunday if you can. We are hopping for a walk along the river but not until we have had koffy.

FBG 5.9
There are hunters here! In tbe field opposite. Kiki had just gone out, but I realised without her collar and called her in. Then gunshots. Dogs and hunting horns. So she is now hiding under the oven.
As far as I am aware the hunting season here starts next weekend. But it varies from one canton to another, so some have obviously decided to start now.
 
5.4 this morning.
Mr K had the RSV vaccine on Friday and has felt really tired and under the weather ever since so we have decided that a relaxing day at home is best for today. Actually I am really looking forward to it. I do love relaxing and reading and coffee. The perfect combination.

I took Poppy to the park and met up with other dog walkers as we strolled around the park chatting. Mr K is up now and is actually feeling a bit better.
 
Morning all on what is now the start of Fall/Autumn according to even the traditionalists. By the looks of the forecast this week the weather agrees - 13 ºC Friday and Saturday :bigtears: .No rain here overnight and so far (10.00) yet today. My fbg was 4.9 which was a nice surprise as last evening my routine was put out of kilter. A decision was taken (not by me ) to have an Indian takeaway, watch the boxing and sample my spirits cellar. #3 son has done a recyling centre run for us in the dry. He and his partner slept here as the ladies have gone to Mamma Mia the party. JKP's ticket was a Christmas present from the boys. @jjraak thanks for the link to road closures earlier as they were going to drive all the way, hence the sleep over as it was to be an 8.00 am start, but are now driving part way - Epping? - and taking the tube. @gennepher thank you for sharing the kaleidoscope. @dunelm thank you for sharing the art. Good news that rain didn't stop play yesterday and even better news that the meal was smashing. Enjoy the walk and have a safe but uneventful journey home. @SlimLizzy well done on realising in time that Kiki was out with no collar. Have as good a Sunday as possible everyone - still too early to start the sprouts.

Good move getting Kiki in, those hunters take pot shots at anything that moves and sometimes they are pretty inebriated by mid afternoon.

Thank you @ianpspurs. Mama Mia - or as the Italians would say, “mamma Mia!”
