Bramhall Scarecrow Festival

My knee problem is still preventing me from doing most things I want to be doing, but I do seem to be finding other things to do - even if they are painful at times. Yesterday I was giving some advice on IT issues to a charity in Salford - a favour for a friend and it was really rewarding to help out people who give their time to help people with learning difficulties. I met some wonderful people yesterday.

Today I made it to the scarecrow festival in Bramhall - and being on my feet all day has taken its toll on my knee. But this is one of our (local Rotary Club) big fund raisers, and it matters - so I really wanted to do my bit, and I did.

Tomorrow I'm in the kiosk at Hare Hill - because they are short of volunteers, and because I really should probably give gardening a miss again next week.

I think I may take a camera and long lens tomorrow just in case the buzzards are around - and perhaps that may mean I am on the mend a little - my DSLRs have all been having a rest in support of my knee recently ...

I'm not all right, and I won't be back to posting every day on Blip for some time because I am really struggling with not being able to do the things I love doing - and the fear that I may never be able to do some things ever again.  But the last 2 days have been pretty good - even though tonight the pain in my knee is telling me I did far too much today.
