Hi steve and jane,
 First of all many congratulations for calling the hospital for advice about your swollen ankles, it is your body and you know what is normal for you and what is unusual.  Very well done.

Yes, I remember the hyper active phase!!!!  There is a fabulous reclining garden chair which would enable jane to enjoy the outdoors and elevate her feet.  I think it is a french make La Fumia or something lime that.

The sun did not shine much today in Mudeford so I did not manage my swim in the sea.  However, on a very exciting note we did bump into a new friend of mine from the book club and her husband on the front this morning and stopped at the beach hut cafe for morning coffee with them.  (Punctuation not brilliant in that sentence, sorry but I do struggle a bit with the iPad).  It is a very special feeling for me to begin to bump into people I now know when I am out and about.  Having lived in the same area almost all my life moving away has been a shock and a bit of a struggle even though I know it was my choice and I love the new area I love in.

Love and gentle hugs to you both
Liz
