Cutting Some Rug?
DON'T ever do this: Put down a little scatter mat for your cats to use by the fireplace WITHOUT putting an under pad underneath first!
Two weeks ago I did this and came sailing into the room and slid onto the floor, tearing some ligaments in what was already my bad knee. I also badly sprained my ankle. The last 2 weeks have been nothing but icing, putting my leg up on my Lazy Girl chair, reading, and hobbling around with a cane. My cats haven't even noticed my pain, of course!
The one good thing is that I have read many good books: Nicholas Sparks', Dear John, Wally Lamb's, She's Come Undone, and the best one, The Book of Negroes which I am half way through now.
I've had lots of time to practice my choir concert songs, one of which is a duet I'm singing, JT's version of "You've Got a Friend". I'm singing the pretty higher harmony part. Hope we do it well this Sat.!!
Up here , lilacs are just out and lily of the valley too! It is actually going to be 28C today and that's unseasonably warm but we'll take it! I'm so on my deck!

It don't matter what I am walking on..I can slip!
I do it all the time, barefoot on the carpet, and running into the kitchen like a gangbuster cuz I'm like STARVING to death and I don't even make it to the kitchen...i slip on the carpet in the living room cuz I'm trying to take that turn too fast!
Slow down Stevo!

It's also nice to hear from you again, but sorry that it took a spill like that!

Lily of the Valley - he he (It's beginning with L in Norwgian too).
It seems you are busy, take care of your knee, would be sad if you could not go canoing in the wilderness this summer.
28 C - at this time of year? That's amazing and normally a bit too hot for me.
When does School start Summerhollyday?
Anna has 18 more days to teach before 7 weeks off.
Cats are in and out - haha - you know;))

Yikes! Hopefully you're recovering nicely.
Nothing like an accident to waylay us when we're busy TRYING to do something else.
Good luck and happy reading.

It is odd how our best intentions can come back to bite us sometimes.
Reaching in an odd way for the dog bowl sent me to the ER recently when I pinched a nerve in my back. Dog got fed though!!
Looks as if you have many spring flowers yet to look forward to.
I hear that today is the first day of summer.. . Best to you

I hope you've recuperated well!

We have similar tastes when it comes to books. I just finished reading "She's Come Undone" and have just started "The Book Of Negroes". For me, one of the best parts of summer is sitting out side with a good book. :-) Hope the rest of your summer brings lots of sunshine.
