Walking and talking can be taken for granted...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet - Starlightnight
Cloudland Blue Quartet - December Set

Up early and some quick mixes carried out on the two versions of the new song and on "Starlight Starbright"...

Possible final version of the LP mocked up and soundtracked the day, as is the norm when working on new stuff - the six song set for Friday was also listened to...

An unmentioned run through the set on Saturday evening had proved I am still not au fait with the others' work...

To physio first thing...

I entered, not able to walk very well and on crutches...

After a long consultation and much probing and testing, a long strip of plaster was applied from the sole of my foot up, the back of my ankle and calf to just below my knee, whilst the inside of the heel of my shoe was built up...

I exited, able to walk and my crutches were left behind...

Back in a week for more - I may need a stick - we'll see...

Took a bus to Fopp at lunchtime...


...no purchases but a chance meeting with Count Brodski was enjoyed...

Walked back to the West End successfully...

In the dark of the early evening, a bus to Fairmilehead for a two hour visit to Pam...



A better pic above than of late but it shows her at her best during the visit...

Post was opened and read out and pictures shown - Pam's first Xmas card, from chum Julie and family, a cute dual self portrait from Pam's "nieces" Olivia and Megan - daughters of chum Suzanne, a letter and pics from France from our childhood friend Lindsay and a card and jokes from pam's work colleague Pat were all enjoyed...

Sister Sheila, brother-in-law Andrew, nephew Andy and fiance Tori all arrived for the second hour and Pam enjoyed listening in to the chat...



A lift home was offered and accepted - the two bus journey back to Crispycat Towers would have seen me home around 10 rather than the more convenient 8:50...

Telly, then bed...

Highlight of the Day : Family visit to pam - and, of course, being able to walk again...
