GOING OUT TODAY

 

Today I am determined we go out somewhere.  I'm sick of being at home, just working and looking after the man.

And I'm NOT cooking today.  So, once I've had time to think about it a bit more, I'll tell ya where we are going.  Obviously, not too far and for too long, bearing in mind his nibs is still recovering.

It is two weeks today since his surgery.  He's getting around with just one crutch in the house now, and sometimes he forgets he needs it.

ABOVE: This is me after sewing all day yesterday!  I've been known to forget I'm covered in threads, and go out to the shops looking like that.  Sometimes I even have a few pins on me chest as well!  

Yeah, might not do that today. 😂😅😆

The Braid Runner I started yesterday is going to be finished late this afternoon.  I'm taking a break this morning, then we are going out and about.

Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

11.55 am, and I got that new Braid Runner finished!

Hadn't planned on sewing this morning, but oh well... at least it's not waiting for me this afternoon.

I can just relax later.

ABOVE: And there it is.  It is TOTALLY not me.  But as Stew said, someone will love it.  I am going to be surprised if it goes any time soon.  

I'm going to rattle Stew's dags, and get him  out of this house for lunch somewhere nice...

ABOVE: Well, we ended up at The Lookout on Church Road, Pukete.  We had been here once before.  It has a nice ambience about it.

ABOVE:  It is on a rise overlooking a large section of north Hamilton, and Mt Pirongia.  Mostly though, you just see the industrial area.

ABOVE: My lunch today was a Salmon and Prawn Salad.  It was delicious!  Those crispy twirl thingees added a nice texture to the meal.  It was also way tastier than I anticipated.

ABOVE: Stew had a Lamb thing, it was like an open kebab.  He said it was very nice, as were his Kumera Chips (ikkk from me).  I had a couple of slices of Ciabatta bread instead of chips, for a change.

We are killing the next hour until Stew's second Physio appointment.  She (the physiotherapist), will be removing the dressing off Stew's knee today.  

We bought some Bio Oil for his scar recovery as well.  'O' next door has had both his knees done and highly recommends Bio Oil for scar healing.  You can hardly see any scars on his knees!  Let's see how that goes.  

6.55 pm.

The visit with the physio went well.  She's very happy with Stew's progress.  We don't have to go back for two weeks.  He can start using the recumbent bike down in the gym now... just once a day to start with.

She did not take the dressing off his knee, it has to stay there for another week or so.

After coming home, we killed another hour then went to the pub.  Stew hadn't been there for three weeks, so it was nice for him to catch up with his mates.  I stayed with him for a change as well.  We came home fairly early as I didn't want him over doing it.

We had been out three times today.  I hope he's knackered, and sleeps well tonight. 

And that's a rap on our day.

Catch ya tomorrow.
