Rising tide

The eiders are bay in the bay and starting to pair up again, so summer must be on its way.  

Went to the doctor this morning, taking with me my sore leg.  Since lifting and carrying some paving stones 10 days ago, it's been giving me gip.  It turns out that I have probably trapped my sciatic nerve, hence the pain down my leg, behind my knee and into my ankle.  The treatment seems to be paracetamol, exercises and a referral to physio.  And patience!  And look after your back!

A lovely visit from Topsyturvy in the afternoon - bearing biscuits!  We don't meet up often enough when she is up here, so there was lots of catching up to do!
