Overcast Friday.

 Suddenly realised that I hadn’t written a single word for my blog, in fact I had not given writing it a thought, instead I was enjoying surfing the net.

I have been looking for another JR terrier to join our two happy dogs, Marleen and Cyril; I even found one in an animal rescue.

A Jack Russell pup, she looked lovely, she was born in March this year, sadly the internet page froze and I had to close the page, now I can’t find the dog anymore.

Once I have written today’s post, my dog search  will continue, who knows I may even find that Jack Russell pup again or another who also needs a new home.

We both think that Marleen and Cyril would be happy to have another dog join their pack; Richie likes the idea of finding another dog that needs a new chance, so do I.

Today has been overcast with occasional moments of brightness, no sunshine though not like yesterday

The lack of sun did not upset me, seeing as I was so relaxed today, I slept well last night, Richie got me out of bed at 09.30 so I could use the toilet.

Once I was installed back in bed, Richie went off for his driving lesson, two hours later he was back, which made Cyril happy, poor Cyril had been crying ever since Richie went out.

Right now after inhaling some mediwiet vapour my right arm is finally less painful, then it was for most of the day, it felt like my muscles were getting shorter and being tightened, finally my arm is relaxed, making me happy.

A Beautiful Sunny September Day.


Alfred Georges Regner


My session with the physiotherapist, this afternoon,  was not easy because of the spasticity, the incredible stiffness in my right arm.

On Monday I could still touch my nose with my right arm, today I could only raise my hand as far as to my chin.

Not nice to feel and experience, this afternoon, I am going to try not to let it upset me; all I can do is stay cheerful and keep doing my stretching exercises with Richie’s help.

The new worry is that my left hand and forearm are also getting stiffer now, on the plus side,  I can still move my left arm freely and I can still type, although laboriously.

As long as I can write my posts, write and answer e-mails, read newspapers as well as surf the net and play free cell and solitaire I am happy.

Seetech software will allow me to do everything I want to, so I am looking forward to seeing the package Herman is putting together for me.

I can hardly wait to get the software and start to use it to write my posts, it’s good to know that there is software available when my hands stop functioning.

Hopefully once I read and; agree with what Herman has suggested, it will not be long to wait, think that I am going to be optimistic.

Today is a beautiful very warm September day, sunny and dry, nice for friends returning from their holidays in warmer places.

A nice goodbye to summer today, as the forecast is for high winds as well as a lot of rain, all because of the tail end of a hurricane, shame a sunny autumn is nice, but who knows it maybe still lovely.
