"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Hey Boida - oh, its brilliant....

this is it: this is exactly the one I have...



HA - you blow it up (course, I got plenty of hot air to spare) then, put my left foot on the white bit at the bottom and you wrap it around - and my whole ankle is supported and cushioned. IT'S EXCELLENT. Does absolutely NOTHING for my street cred at all - but as my street is one way dead end - that's not a problem right now! It truly is amazing.

Such a simple contraption - and yes - I can walk on it (carefully, as I'm not fully weight bearing on the left foot for another 2 weeks) and it doesn't hurt (I don't think - maybe I am overexcited - hahahahahaha).

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... that means I only have to use one ONE blue crutch! How happy is that!

It's hard NOT to want to walk and my right foot (tho plastered) - the ankle is complaining because I have no arch support at all - so I know I have to keep any weight off it for another 4 weeks..... 'tis hard to do tho!


I may be held together with metal and plastic - but it's all good at the moment.

oh FF - we cross posted - this brace - it's great! Amazing really what a little bit of air can do - who knew! So clever - such a clever bit of kit!

Good morning Izzie, nice to wake up and read the good news about your tootsies, walking on air eh, marvellous. All well down under in my part of the world, still many problems in Victoria though. Can I assume mail reached its destination? Time for some breakfast, will be around later.

Hey BEAgle.... I cannot believe the nite has gone already - where, where, where does time go? I have been here all nite and just "doing" and "being" and somehow, it's nearly 2am and I thought it was about 10pm! MAN..... what in the world.........



off to take sleeping potion and make a cuppa!


I can't believe the nite has gone already

Hello Izzie, where have you been and what have you been doing, or shouldn't I ask that?

Have been around all morning but not a peep out of you, busy taking photographs of your pets?

If you're heading for bed, good night, sleep well and until next time. (((Izzie)))

Oh - I've just been looking around and reading bits of this and that, doing whatjermakallits and thingymajibblets - something of nothing - and then the nites gone! Sheesh - days are rolling fast!

Hiya Iz and Dutchy...I am too pooped to pop. Going to have a glass of wine and vegetate in front of the TV - I don't even have enough gumption to sit and read! Hope you all had or have a great day.

I'm swamped the rest of the week so - I am hoping I will be here...but if I'm not - know I'm thinking of you all.

Normal - anybody know what that is anymore? Is there such a thing?

thoughts and prayers with each.

hugs to all

Hi mismi glad to see your smiling face, hope the rest of the week won't be to hard for you and we do see you pop in occasionally. Take care. (((mismi)))

missy & Dev..is the snowfall still thr? I thought of you guys as i went outside last weekend..wanted to take snaps of flowers..but forgt to take the camera!!
BEAgle..it was yestrday tht i saw th koala snap....soo cuuute..esp ur note abt its hygiene so cuute brought a thousand smiles i should say

So pleased it brought a smile to your beautiful face verbivore, I know you work long hours so a cute little distraction makes the time hopefully go quicker. Just to make you smile a little more, I caught some lovely fish today which will hit the barbeque in about two hours.

I swear BEAgle you seem to eat more than a Bear & Eagle combined would ever endeavour to!!!
Ive still not come up with those 20 names for a web designing company. The funniest thing is any weird thing you come up & google it its already up there!!
People here are thrilled with the Oscar news Kudos to Dannyboyle to take us places. A.R. Rehman sure is another gem..special thoughts go to Heath..though i read tht he died coz of the mix of drugs..the rumour is tht he couldnt stand the tension of the character he portrayed! Cant help admiring that amount of dedication i should say!

Good Morning Crew...

MaMa and PaPa are here..... outside - LOPPING.... LOPPING trees before the leaves unfurl. OH MY! I would love to do be doing it - "here a lop, there a lop, everywhere a lop lop" <sings> but PaPa's insisting it needs to be sorted today as Spring is definitely sprung - which is quite right - so, letting them be and do!

Surgeons secretary phoned. mmmmmmmmmmmm..... might be popping back to see them tonite! OH! Physio wasn't happy with my plaster - says it shouldnt be as loose. Suregon got to hear..... hopefully tho, I said it wasn't hurting at all and all was good with my toot- shall wait and hear back. (really don't wanna another trip into the city!)

Hey there Harbour Master - how be ye doing?




Welllllllllllllllllllll.... "oh whatta day...dooop ddodpp doooby doo <sings>

There's been a lot of lopping and pulling - and my camelia tree is now positioned at the end of the garden infront of the blue shed whose roof has fallen in. This is good - the tree being moved - now I can't see the shed roof!

Pam came over for a few hours - and we yabbered muchly. Tulip is coming by in a short while.

Boiler people are coming on 13th March to fix me a new boiler! Happy Days (brrrrrrrr for now tho on and off).

And.... I have to be replastered again - Friday - (oh hey... I should just have another Bailey's a!) Surgeon not happy either with the loose plaster or that my foot is moving (can slide the whole plaster off ) so - he wants to do it himself this time - which will be Friday lunchtime. Meantime - its bandaged in a way that is going around the big toot and back around my ankle to stop the plaster sliding) Hey ho. Nem'mind. It's not sore - so that's k.

Desperately need a cuppa - have been talking for hours - so will be back in a bit. Happy day everyone - smooooooooooooooooooooooches
