Could this be the day I get to go outside?

After days of struggling, trying to establish a subscriber form, and writing the long-awaited newsletter, there has been a small chink in my self-imposed workload.

A hosepipe ban has just been issued for our neighbourhood, which means my bonsai babies are at risk of drying out. I have been relying on the family to keep them watered, but now I feel I must try to help.

A small opportunity has arisen to do something I have been waiting long enough to be fit enough to consider doing. I thought I was fit enough a while back, but then I fell again while practising on the stairs, causing my sister’s barriers to stay in place.

Her theory: falling indoors on carpet is bad enough, but falling outside on concrete would be stupid even to consider.

This theory is still in place, but I must push my luck. The hot weather is having a few days off, so this could be the perfect day I manage to see my babies…

Fingers crossed!
