The left arm broke off & as they are sepia coloured plastic my friend couldn't find it in the undergrowth, only the rest!! I had a spare pair at home as I bought my glasses under a two-for-one offer from an Australian company that sells one design of frames in 4 sizes - frames & lenses all Australian made & they replaced my frames in seconds!

I also wear orthotics & my sandals (expensive well built scuff-types meant for wearing with orthotics) stayed on my feet, but I did land on my front & toes! We've just gone thru (fingers crossed) a very wet period & I've been wearing my walkers more than my sandals.

I forgot to mention my physio worked on my hand yesterday & gave me some exercises. Now I just need patience.

Charmion, I'm not a musician, "just" a chorus singer (I can't hold a tune on my own & forget words!) but the folk world needs chorus singers who can sing & hum along!

Maggie, how horrible for you neighbour & you are a good neighbour & friend.
