Not much excitement here today apart from a constant stream of locals up and down the lane. A cottage to clean, a bank to clean later, and a load of clean linen to stack at the cottages, and that was my lot for the day.

The ankle is getting better - at least the swelling has gone down to some extent, but is still sore in strange places. May go back to the doc if it is not better by this time next week. The dogs are being very patient, but it is not fair on them to be limiting their exercise.
