Police visit

Got dogs fed Friday night at 8. Took them out after Eastenders for a wee on the green. Ang went to bed just after 9 and I stayed up to watch New Tricks. Took dogs out for a wee before bed. Dainty woke us in the night having a noisy dream and I got up at just after 6 Saturday. Got dogs sorted and fed by 7.30. Just after 8 Ang and I took them for a walk to the Backwaters. Came back via the shops and got some bread, milk, toilet rolls and an iced bun. Got back and Ang went to lie down for a while. I had the bun and then Ang got up after about an hour. Spent rest of the day sorting out some photos and taking dogs for walks. Got to bed about 11.
Woke Sunday about 6 and got dogs sorted and on first walk about 8. Took gloves with us so I could carry on pulling ragwort. Spent about half an hour working next to the hill at the Backwaters until I did something to my back. We managed to walk home very slowly and got back after about 20 minutes. I was almost crying with the pain when I got home and we got onto NHS direct. They advised a painkiller regime and complete rest for 24 hours. I ended up flat on my back on the beanbag with Ang waiting on me dosed up with painkillers. I only managed to get Buster out to the green for the rest of the day. Ang took Dainty on a few short walks around the estate. Got to bed about 10.30 and was grateful for sleep and to be oblivious to the pain.
Woke Monday morning at about 6.30 in quite a bit of pain. Took painkillers at 7 and got dogs sorted by 8. Took them on a walk to Backwaters but had to walk very slowly. Got back about 9 and rang my doctor to get him to phone me later. Made a milky drink for breakfast and waited for Dr to ring. Ang took Dainty for a walk and Dr rang while she was out. Dr advised light exercise and a prescription for strong painkillers. After phone-call I took Buster out and met Ang. We then took both the dogs to the Backwaters. I had to sit down when we got there but the dogs got the chance for a play and mooch around in the reeds. Ang went down for prescription in a taxi and was back after about 10 minutes. When she came back we had cheese and onion on toast so I could take a tablet. Took dogs out on the green and watched TV for a while. Got phone-call from police about when I was assaulted. They arrived to take another statement shortly after. After about 13 minutes they left. Forgot to date statement. Ang got back from an errand for me while the police were here. Rang for an Indian when they had left but had no luck. The Indian we use had a gas leak on the premises so couldn’t open tonight. We decided to throw a pizza in the oven instead. We then watched the soaps together and fed the dogs at 8. I decided to have a bath to help my back and Ang watched some comedy shows. We took the dogs out on the green at about 11 and Buster had really bad runs. That’s both of them now. No breakfast for them tomorrow. We’ll have to get some chicken in for their food for a couple of days. Ang says she might go co-op tomorrow. She got me an iced doughnut today which I’ve saved for after I post this.
