Ahead of the curve

Gel had a friend around for lunch on Friday who works in the NHS, and her words of wisdom around pain control is to keep ahead of it. Don't wait for it to get sore before taking pain control.

After a deep and dreamless codeine induced coma last night I've been keeping ahead of the curve with paracetamol and thus far - touch wood - it seems to be working. I'll try this for a few days and see how it goes from there.

Yesterday we went for and very nice lunch with D & S at the Frozen Mop in Mobberly. After the food, D had the wizard idea that we shufty on over to Dunham Massey for a walk, and then the reward of a coffee and cake.

Dunham was pretty full, but not overwhelmingly so. We had a walk around the garden, bobbed in the orangery, and ended up on the terrace of the cafe with a huge lump of cake and coffee.

This morning we had a very slow start to the day which involved much sitting in the warm morning sunshine on our decking.

If you remember to a few blogs ago where I was telling you about the drudgery of decorating Caitlin and Andy's house, well this afternoon we went over for a BBQ. We had a look around the house which is looking really really nice. They've done such a nice job. The most recent addition is internal doors which look great. They've even started on getting the garden in order. It is a huge transformation from the complete wreck they took on, to a light, airy, and beautifully dressed home.

The BBQ was damn fine too. Here's a couple of pics from the back yard.


You can see I'm out of practice taking pictures. All that foreground interference.
