WEDNESDAY

The day dawned bright, fair and clear, and remained so, a day which saw further progress on the artworks in hand. It also brought news of an appointment, next Monday at the physio department of the hospital, for which I have sore need. I've been suffering from back pain to a greater or lesser degree since I became partly disabled with a knee ailment more than two years ago. Since the knee operation last October I have been able to walk pretty much as well as I could before the condition started, but my back now gives me a bit of trouble. Such is life for the over-sixties - our bits start to drop off!
My sister Mary has a friend over here for a couple of days while on a UK holiday, and this nice lady bought one of my giclee prints today, for which I am grateful. In current economic conditions, any sale is to be rejoiced over. As a matter of fact, I felt so good about this and the fine weather that I decided to go for a pint or two at one or more of the local hostelries, but I soon came back, having seen little of interest in the latin quarter. I bought a fish supper on the way home.
