Knees up

Thursday 18th

The last few days have seen steady progress at work but nothing startling on the personal side.

I sent my 4 iron to the Wilson repair centre on Tuesday, with the help of Gina who found a package that fitted and organised the Fedex to get there and one to get back via overnight express. It arrived on Wednesday and has already been repaired and picked up for the return journey. I may have it for this weekend.

However the weather is not looking as promising as last weekend with thunderstorms on Saturday and sunny but quite cold on Sunday.

I got to sleep in past 7am the last 2 days. Dare I hope the jet lag has passed?

However I have another problem. My left knee is giving me quite a lot of pain. Fortunately not all the time, but whenever I try and walk, especially after sitting at my desk for a period, I get very sharp pains and have to limp a bit to avoid them. I had an operation last October and everything seemed to have recovered, so after 20 weeks, I played a game of hockey. This seemed to cause some problems and when I couldn't play the following week I decided to retire. However now I'm worried that I may hyave done more damage than I first thought. Or worse, that it's the golf that is making it worse.

I have been eating in lately, with some more crabs from the supermarket tonight. Yesterday I was planning to go out but passed the dining area and saw they had ordered in pizzas so I had that instead. They provide dinner Mon to Thu, free of charge, at the hotel, but it tends to be fairly basic.
