things i have learnt this week ...

... or notable things include:

1. capitals don't matter
2. lefthanded typing is possible - but slow
3. frozen shoulder should be called really painful arm, dammit
4. taxi drivers can be really kind
5. tens machines do help (thank you, rosy)
6. i love my physio - she's great
7. when the nice doctor says these pills might make you feel sick, she ain't joking
8. i have to have a book rest to avoid looking down all the time and straining my neck
9. pain makes me cry and i am not brave
10. lord h has nobly learnt the new skill of doing the bra up - even though it apparently goes against nature
11. it is heavenly when the pain goes
12. reviewers can be nice too - thank you big-time to (a) bestselling crime author lesley horton for writing to say how much she loved "maloney's law" and (b) Litlove for this review
13. i can now move my arm nearly to shoulder height but it's no golf for a while
14. weirdly the chance simply to stop is appreciated
15. i do appreciate the messages and thoughts, all - thank you
16. obviously no writing for now but i have sent off "the bones of summer" to two more independent publishers - slowly!
17. i am hooked on property programmes, sadly ...

i won't blog tomorrow but hope you're all having nice weekends

hugs

Anne's blog is back - yeah!

Glad to hear things are improving but these things always take longer than you expect don't they. The bra thing made me laugh - men are pretty good at getting them off but not so good at putting them on eh!

Ah, property shows. When I'm on leave I get sucked into the lot - I particularly like 'Escape to the Country' and spend the whole show saying 'but, that's my dream house'to all of them!

Love

Great to see you're recovering - slowly. I agree about left handed typing - possible but very slow if you're right handed. Bras - I've not worn one all the time I've been off work - it seemed easier! Make sure you get plenty of rest. Hugsxx

I agree about pain - I'm a coward - no, highly sensitive - too. In fact I would have visited sooner, had I not had a bug this weekend! I'm glad you thought the review was okay. I got carried away with the issues and should have said more about how well-written it is. Do hope your shoulder is improving - I know that can be a painful injury.

hugs (very gentle ones!)

Litlove xx

I've done left hand typing, got real good at it once. Also standing up and having the keyboard propped on ten telephone directories. Never, strangely, ever had a problem fastening my bra . . .
