Dreadful with a broken leg and internal injuries

Hope you had an alternative.

Well his stunt double is from the UK...


But I think he's actually in Australia doing some promo work.

Hope you had an alternative.

No. Having to wash on trips has been interesting. Quite a difficult set of manoeuvres with Mr ALH helping. Sitting on the side of the tub and getting help to swing legs around. Trying to stand up again. A couple of falls.

Even now, 6 months later I still can’t manage a shower over bath by myself.

It’s because it so easy to fall that I dislike showers over baths. I have quite bad balance and get a bit anxious if I have to negotiate a high side to get in or out. I can only think how awful it must be for you ALH even after this time after the accident.

A sad day today with Mini-Me Verne Troyer from the Austin Powers movies has passed away at 49.

They were something else, those Austin Powers! Sad indeed as very young and sounds like he was battling his own demons.

Poor thing,! I had a friend who cracked some vertebrae a few months ago and she had to go to a friend two suburbs away to have a shower.

My balance is still very poor and I have to do a lot of therapy and excercises to try and sort that out. My life has become a bit more challenging. Looking carefully at where I’m going to step. Measuring how far I’ll need to walk. Frequent resting. Not being allowed to drive is the worst

Oh dear. A few challenges there indeed. No driving too! Will that change as you continue to recover?

This morning our waiter asked if we would like a take away pack of pastries.

Hubby asked if he could have bananas instead and this is what we got, 4 bananas inside.


Room turn down service chocs last night.

Ventured to the Colours of Impression: Masterpieces from the Musee d’Orsay today in preparation for our trip to Giverny in June, in the SA Art Gallery. The only place in Australia it is being held I believe.

Loved this one of Coco Renoir. And can stand close enough to see the paint work. Boys didn’t have their hair cut until they were 6.




And will see this in late spring time.

Wonderful!

Have been to Giverny a couple of times as it changes with the seasons. Although it is a tourist mecca the gardens are lovely. The tiling in the kitchen is something else (so you can aspire to repeating ). The other place that I liked was Auvers sur Oise where Vincent VG lived at one stage and where he is buried.

We went to the Cartier exhibition at the NGA the other week - loved the sparklies there! A few bob's worth.

I too l loved that bright yellow kitchen and the blue and white scullery.

Hoping I can get to Canberra to see the Cartier exhibition and looking forward to getting back to Adelaide to see the exhibition

How annoying is it that a couple of those paintings are crooked? I keep wanting to reach in and rotate a few degrees anti clockwise.

A bit better



Loved this one

Sitting in on a bench on Prince St and it's surprising how few bags people are carrying, because you are charged for bags.
