Good Morning Geraldton!

A terrible night’s sleep last night for two of us, meanwhile a certain
dog snored its way through the night. With
an appointment at the physiotherapy department of the hospital this morning at
9.00am there was no opportunity to sleep in and that also involved getting Mrs
Sleepyhead up early and into the car. We
got there in time and bonus – I didn’t have to take another RAT test before
entering the hospital. The good news is
that I now have the all clear to drive so we could really leave Geraldton any
time. We’ll decide what to do in the
next day or so, but it is a relief to be confident that everything is OK. I’m counting my lucky stars and so grateful
that the damage wasn’t too serious to put me out of action longer.
In the course of the appointment, I was given some exercises to do –
one of which is to “draw” the letters of the alphabet with my foot a couple of
times a day which will assist with retaining movement in the damaged ligament
and of course my question was “Capital letters or lower case”????? The physio laughed and said she had never had
that question asked before, but the instructions did actually say Capital
Letters. So what happens when I get back
to Shane and I tell him about the exercises and he asks me “Capital Letters or
Lower Case”…. What can I say – we’re a weird couple but at least we have the
same kind of weird.
After getting home and having breakfast, we both were feeling so tired
we opted for a quiet day at the van. The
weather was warm but really overcast, Kitty went straight back to sleep on the
couch and Shane ended up having a lie down during the day anyway so it was kick
back, feed the birds and relax day. I
did end up putting in a call to a Wildlife Rescue service as one of the doves
that has been coming for a feed each day has some cotton or something wrapped
around its legs and has started to limp badly.
I have no way of catching it so was hoping for some help. Did I get a call back – no – I’ve texted as
well but my heart goes out to this poor little bird limping around the
ground. It can fly but surely if it
doesn’t get help this won’t end well.
My only real exertion for the day was making a batch of pasta salad and
Shane did a quick run for a couple of ingredients – oh and of course being
reminded right on 5.00pm that it was Kitty’s dinner time. That dog really does have an inbuilt alarm
system – and it’s going to get ugly when we go from Western Australian time to
South Australian Time with 1.5 hours difference!
