There’s a Peter Cook &  Dudley Moore sketch where Dud’s only got one leg, and Pete says ‘ I’ve got nothing against your left leg……………….trouble is, neither have you’. Which brings me to getting a phone call from my knee surgeon’s secretary yesterday making me an appointment with him on the 18th of November. We sort of agreed last time I saw him that getting a knee replacement would be a bit silly if I couldn’t hold the crutches - shoulder thing - so this will be a sort of date naming appointment now I have a set recovery period, about 3 months. I would have thought with my experience of being poked about within, and the wonders of Google, I would be able to do my own surgery soon - I’ll let you know when I get a date.

Well, I finally finished the penguin I had started for Lesley’s christmas present…………………..last year. It took not being able to bead to get the blackwork stuff out again, and I’m quite glad I did! More stuff on the frame!

Shoulder healing very nicely, had a bath this morning and put a new dressing on, so as long as this keeps up I’m happy. Sketched and laid out the next necklace - sparkliest to date! I’m not starting until I’m up to it though, for once I’m going to do what the physiotherapist tells me instead of doing it my own way………………..which usually hurt more..

Got a date for the shoulder op - 22nd of this month………………..two weeks tomorrow. Nina’s trying to get me to do all the things I said I would do while I can still work both arms, I keep trying to explain that I wouldn’t be going in if it didn’t already hurt, the cats don’t really care as long as I leave instructions as to the rotation of assorted pouch flavours - beef?……twice in one week?…………are you mad?

I shall concentrate on finishing the blackwork penguin I started with the intention of it being my sister’s christmas present………….last year.

Looking at that last paragraph I may have a look at my Oxford book of English grammar when I get a moment.

Oh, and I beaded a ring - nothing fancy, but it’s a start…………..
