Another catch up...

Firstly, a few web pics that have taken my fancy - they pop up on facebook...

Such a sweet kitty!

Love this picture - Marie had it on her blog but it is from Pinterest...

I was watching Everyday Gourmet with Justine Schofield today and they made this risoni dish. I am not real fond of 'lots of mushrooms' but I know Kirby and Brianna would tackle this. The recipe is here.

I love this sign - if I ever see it in a shop I will buy it!

Roast chicken from a few weeks back now...

I bought Bri a 'onsey' - too funny!

I made scones at their unit - they didn't have SR flour so I used plain flour and baking soda - they were just okay.

Two of my sisters have birthdays a couple of weeks apart. This year I gave them a copy of Down to Earth, wrapped in a tea towel (more useful that paper, I thought!).

While in Adelaide, I also visited a Posture Podiatrist to see if he could sort out my aches and pains. I have had a sore, twingy hip/lower right back for months now. A massage therapist had told me that my left foot is causing my right hip/back pain and the podiatrist confirmed that. My left foot is not hitting the floor correctly when I walk and has very limited movement compared to my right foot which can be rotated, bent and twisted every which way without pain or resistance. I overcompensate on my right side when walking which twists my hip and back, causing the muscles to tighten on that side.

He did some 'dry needling' on me to promote better blood flow in my leg muscles which are also very tight. I have ham string stretches to do, a foot pull/push stretch and I must roll a tennis ball under my foot whenever possible while sitting. This will stretch the muscles in my foot which are very tight.
~
When I returned for my second visit last Wednesday, he was pleased with the progress in my left foot - much more movement and rotation. I just need to keep up with the excercises and get walking to free up my leg muscles.

Okay, so now we are up to date. We've just had a great 4 days with our Italian friends from Turin. In the next post, I will show you what we got up to!
