Parasol

It's Sunday, so by any standard it's a day of not doing very much in the grand scale of things.

I do however realise that upon waking and getting out of bed my knee is damaged. I don't know why, I don't know when but it's not right. It feels weak when I put a full lock on it and it's difficult going up and down stairs. It's almost as if I've twisted it or something, or I've done something to the outside of it as that is where most of the discomfort is. The only thing I can think off is that either I've done too much on the treadmill of late, or it's delayed damage from my riding which is only now rearing it's ugly head. Sucks really since I don't want a cronky knee to get in the way of my exercise so I'm going to have to go steady on it for a while.

The only other significant event of today is that Phil and I go out to see if we can find a replacement parasol for the garden since our last one got broken in that storm we had a few weeks back. We try numerous homebases to see if we can get one but to no avail, with most of their summer stock gone and them replacing it with autumn and winter stuff (it's only August!!!) but we do strike it lucky at the local Blooms centre who have a fair selection of the things. This time we go for a metal one rather than a wooden one and its feels a fair bit more substantial and hopefully will last any breeze more significant than an asthmatic breathing on it.
