Barry Norton Update

A quiet day today with intermittent rain and an overwhelming tiredness making even knitting a chore. Barry Norton's tennis ball seemed to be effective this morning - I took his cumberband off to check and pushed the hernia back up - it is definitely smaller. Sherbert has been really bothered by the flies today and so tonight I attacked her with the summer fly cream. It could really be done to be applied in the morning but I am going with Sam to visit Mum so Carl will be in charge tomorrow. I think he is looking forward to being on his own and not having me bossing him about - he's already put in his order for tea in bed!

Sam arrived home from school with a golf ball - thank you Grey Haired Neighbour! - but I haven't used it as the truss arrived. It is a very smart black number with lots of velcro straps. He is wearing it tonight but I am not totally convinced that the home made one wasn't better. We will check tomorrow and see how it is doing.
