Spruced Up

Today I redecorated the sitting room and kitchen.

Not completely, but enough to remove all the marks, stains and various blemishes so that the walls are all pristine and sparkly white again.

And what a difference it makes too. Three years of wear and tear can make a place seem a bit shabby, but now it is as good as it was when I moved in three years ago this week.

In other news, it is the second anniversary my hip op hooray number two.

And just a couple of weeks away from me spending a month in hospital fighting a severe infection.

What a nightmare that was.

Yet two years later, I am still struggling to walk without pain due to the sciatica, which has plagued me since March last year.

But as that's due to arthritis in my spine, and a replacement for that seems unlikely, I must grin and bear it for now.

No one said getting old would be easy.
