Hi Nick, not seen you posting for a while, you good? 

Been told I need a hip replacement and have lower back problems. To deal with that and the other life problems I shut myself away from the world.

 

 

A bit chilly this morning. Most of the lake froze over last night, just the area in front of me stayed clear, and it looks like the ice is gradually spreading.

I'm only hanging on from packing up just to let the 🌞 thaw some of the gear. My net got frozen to the rushes and the overwrap is covered in frost.

 

Sky however is enjoying laying in the sun outside.

Sorry to hear of your health probs Nick... backs are fragile things on the quiet... mine is knackered with collapsed discs in my lower back giving probs... Pilates and Yoga have helped but being immobile is murder on yer back... keeping moving is best... get well soon ...👍😎

Hopefully when you get a hip replacement, you’ll be a new man mate, fingers crossed you get back to full fitness soon. 

I get in trouble being the old man, heaven knows what I can do as a new man🤣

Problem is I'm early 50's so the waiting list is longer.

 

This was Sky enjoying the time out.

Sad to read your health update , Nick , at least your sense of humour is still intact , and you finally know the cause of your pain .

A Postie colleague at work has had a hip replacement , and you can't tell the difference between him and the rest of us , only he said he wasn't allowed to give my car a push when I had a flat battery  🙄

I'm back again ! .

Another suggestion from my Wife - she reminded me that I got fed up waiting for Ipswich Hospital when I needed a prostate operation , so I went to my G.P. and got a referral to another hospital with a much , much shorter waiting list . As long as you have an NHS number you can go anywhere in the country .

😃

I missed the above bit of your post Nick was mesmerised by the frost on your rods 😳

A neighbour needed a hip replacement she was getting down in the dumps what with her lack of mobility, the pain and the long waiting list she ended up going private she sold her car to partially cover the cost and her family helped around £10,000 was the cost 😳 if I remember correctly.
