She would like a more private life of leisure.  Unfortunately for her…she’s so photogenic awake and asleep!

How are you doing with your PT these days, Marian?

The PT is slow and steady.  I guess I’d like more obvious progress…but of course they know what they’re doing.  I’m not in pain anymore…although it sounds like I’ll have the same difficulties when I finally get out of the boot in two and a half weeks.  I drove for the first time since May 5th this Saturday!!!  Driving is absolutely no problem…just takes time getting in the car with the boot…taking the boot off to drive…putting the boot back on when you get to where you’re going…

 

The ankle isn’t as stiff as it was…and I have slightly less of a cankle.  It’s progress; thanks for asking.

Foot stools on my Aqua balcony

For about triple the price you can get a royal suite with hot tub on balcony, we  rarely use balcony and never use hot tub .

It also seems that the Scots are much more lenient towards divorcees....

 

 In 1992, Princess Anne remarried in Scotland, whose church does not consider marriage a sacrament, and sidestepped the Church of England's restriction on divorcees remarrying.

 

[I was under the impression that Gretna Green is a shopping mall... Luckily, Bob @bobmacliberty asked the question and "saved my reputation" 😉]

There is a large outdoor shopping outlet in Gretna that we went to first before driving a mile to where the Gretna green Blacksmith shop is where the piper was  yesterday.

There are shopping/dining opportunities there too.

But look at the plastic bands they put in so you cannot recline all the way back and make this a lounger.

Balcony furniture is brand new.

I wonder what the reason is? Time for some scissors. 😁

On the Celebrity thread about loungers on balconies it was mentioned that people had reclined them too quickly and hit the balcony door and cracked it.

That’s too bad, the careless ones have to ruin it for the rest of us. I have a feeling a lot of those are going to be cut off.

Once again, I am a couple days behind. My early mornings have been spent reading.  Just finished this one.

A good read for anyone fans of Myron and Win.  I didn’t expect the ending, but that is all I will say.  Don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

Bon Voyage to those sailing.  We are all excited that ours will be here soon. 
 

Saturday, we spent part of the day on the North Country Trail.  It can get rugged in places, so watch your footing.

Found this remnant of an old mill stone along the stream.

I like this photo of our grandson along the creek.

We ended up with a really healthy meal. They must be doing something right, because my phone identified these a Chicago Dogs.

Yesterday, we had our granddaughter, while her brother was off to a golf match. He won. 

We took the other two to the trampoline park for some jumping

and some other games.

Supper at the Japanese restaurant, because they both love teriyaki salmon

My logic would be...these are brand new chairs so the bands must have been in place for shipping to keep the chairs in an upright position.  They must have forgotten to remove the "shipping bands" when putting the chair on the balcony.  I will therefore help them out by cutting the band off for them. 😁

How are you cutting them off? I accidentally had a teensy pocket knife in my purse they took. Another time I had scissors they took. I'm down to nail clippers.

Oh, then my memory is still OK -- I had a very foggiest idea which connected "Gretna Green" with "shopping mall" 😉

Caledonia park is the designer shopping outlet in Gretna and has lots of shopping and eating places.

Gretna Green is famous for the marriage services and is about 1 mile along the road from the designer outlet.

Nail Clippers will work.  We take them to cut the tie wraps off our luggage.  I also take an empty floss container to use to cut yarn.

Good afternoon.

The sun has finally shown itself at 13.12pm after rain this morning.

I popped out early to see a customer this morning and had breakfast overlooking a pier @Ocean Boy and the North sea.

I hope everyone is safe and well and y'all have a wonderful day.

@Arzeena  Bon Voyage!  Have you been to Bimini before?

 

 

 

Thanks.

Yes I have been to Bimini before with Celebrity. IMHO very boring. I have not gone to the Beach club at Resort world, just to the Hilton. The marina, shopping village, casino. Rode the free tram to get an idea of the island. I don't know what we will do this time. Will report back.
