Thankfully Mike was well enough (just) to make it home to Blue House for the weekend. Apparently it has medicinal properties as we returned him on Monday well and refreshed for hopefully a full week of therapy – lots of early starts this week and an early finish on Friday – what a great week!

Due to the hotter weather, I was forced to find a thinner single doona and cooler doona cover – apparently the one I had was hot??? The only one I could find was one I bought years ago for a friends little boy when they came to visit – it was a Bob the Builder one. At first Mike was not impressed but by Sunday afternoon he had decided that Bob was on to something …. “can we fix it – yes we can!”.

A massive thankyou to our pre-injury physio / magician – Rob Capaldi. As many of you know Mike has had a niggling sore lower back for a month or so that just wasn’t improving. An hour of Rob’s time and he is much looser and feeling fantastic – thanks Rob!

The long and short of it – Mike is better and back on deck. He started some woodwork yesterday – I am demanding a chopping board before he leaves here! Anyway, he will be doing that with Ash over the next week or so. And the lovely Erin has set up some cooking time in the next couple of weeks. One of the other guys in here has a 13 month old girl so apparently there is going to be cooking with the boys and their little girls – I believe that cupcakes and muffins are on the agenda!
