My legs are not the best and most times I use a walker except when working on and in the observatory where I use a folding seat ....on a really good day I can get away with a stick...anyways I tried crutches this morning and I just can't take it on the left leg..I can move but so unsteady it's dangerous unfortunately.

I could give you crutches If we could meet at Lismore on Sunday, but that might not be possible for you -- will be there with wife and daughter as they are replacing a telegraph pole on Sunday, so turning of our Power.
Hope you dad is well. 98 is a good innings.
Yes keep it up. If you have a flowing creek nearby sit with ankle in flowing water, IF you can't get to the beach s per previous suggestion. BUT DO NOT STRESS THAT SPRAIN GETTING TO THAT WATER as in climbing down a bank, etc. Just remembered a picture of your dam. Perhaps if no flowing creek let th els in the dam nibble your toes.
Get well soon, John.

Thank John see my reply above re crutches..I would have a fair chance of falling I think.
You need to know that I find it difficult to walk on a lawn because it upsets my balance..the only feeling I get in my feet, well the predominate feeling is that of burning..I don't feel the found under foot if that makes sense.

Still on the bright side ..resting and stacking the first from the new 115 mm and so far, given problems and only eye balling focus..not too bad..that is keeping me cheerful.
