Today has been a little different. For a start I managed a night's sleep without having to get up for a wee. Then even though the weather was nowhere near as good as yesterday we decided on a trip to the Botanic Gardens in Ventnor.
Now if dear reader you have not heard of said place, I can only suggest that if you ever visit the Isle of Wight you put this on your must see list. For a start it is set in a beautiful location between the chalk downs and the sea. It also has its own micro climate which allows plants from all over the world to grow outside rather than in a hot house.
It's been a year or more certainly since I have been. For some strange reason the organisers have allowed sculptures of some flowers to be placed in flower beds. We thought they looked out of place. Speaking of things out of place in the Cafe Ev had a cheese scone that had seen better days.
Our visit involved us walking a lot further than I had managed since coming out of hospital. I enjoyed the walk enormously and we spent about an hour and a half in the place. I felt great getting into the car. It was only when we got back to Ryde and I got out of the car to pick up my paper that I realised how tired I was. So much so that Ev suggested I stay put in the house rather than go to Andrea's.
Food wise it's not been a bad day. We had a picnic Lunch. I managed most of a milk shake plus I had Beans on Toast for Tea plus an hour later Banana and Ice Cream. Hopefully this will help keep some weight on. I weighed myself this morning and alas I have lost another three pounds. It's not time to press the panic button but this is something I do need to keep a watch over.
