MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

The cleaning man has just finished sprucing up the brickwork where the old columns left some mortar and cement.

First, by the driveway, where it'll be seen daily

It was harder to clean because there was some 1980s cement among the old mortar.

I think he did a fantastic job! I was not expecting the bricks to turn out so good!

The builders will be delighted when they see it tomorrow.

That really is excellent work!

I'm delighted! He's done a great job. Very cheerful bloke he was too.

Wow. Nicely done!

I'll be booking that man again. I'm delighted with his work, speed, availability and affordability.

I forgot to close the back screen door last night and Black Cat came into the porch! Cheeky thing.

Curiosity and all that on display.

Here's a weekend jigsaw puzzle

35 pieces and 192 pieces for people with a little more time. I think it's a lovely picture!

I had a go at this. It took me ages and that was the 35 piece puzzle.

What did you think of the platform's design?

I went to see a physio about my shoulder yesterday and now I'm in that state of ooowwwww most physio visits seem to result in. She thought half my problem was work-induced stiffness between the shoulders.

So we've added a new tranche of stretches to my routine, which now goes
Back bends x 10
Side stretches x 10
Balance on 1 leg 10 secs x 2
Balance on 1 leg 10 secs, eyes closed x 2
Shoulder rolls x 10
Neck stretches x 10
Shoulders back and down x 10

Twice an hour, schedule permitting.

Your physio is ambitious on your behalf - that is a lot!
And it reminds me that I have let mine lapse. I am supposed to do a whole routine every time I stand up. Not as ambitious as yours but I must get back to doing them!
