I'm still not 100% and I'm not allowed back at work so I've brought the 4 year old Grandaughter with me and we are having a week in Wellington - my home town, staying with my family.
We saw a musical show at Centrepoint in Palmerston North on the way down (Dead Tragic which includes my brother Michael and his wife Emma)
and tomorrow night I hope to go to a concert at the Bluegrass club in Petone, featuring a couple of members of the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band. Paul and Colleen Trenwith are here!
Then on Sunday afternoon my friend Helen is giving a Northumbrian piping concert in Wellington so I'm sure that will lift my spirits.
I haven't been able to play my pipes since I had the second op - I haven't tried strapping the bellows around my ribs, let alone try to squeeze the bag with my arm still playing up.
We'll probably drive home (a 4 hour drive) on Tuesday. I hope Mitch is coping OK without us! We took his car because it's an automatic and mine is manual - I still can't change the gears yet.
Keep up the exercises!
She'll be right mate!
