In the morning I went and saw my doctor and she thinks a lot of the shoulder problem may be caused by problems in the neck. She wants the physio to work on my neck and I have to mention my shoulder/neck to the ortho specialist when I see him about my hip/back. Mind you I'm not that confident in my GP as she seems to take the easy option and isn't that thorough. Afterwards I treated myself to some retail therapy. I've ordered all the materials needed to reroof the shed and build a set of doors for the front, and cement and slabs to build some steps to my scree garden. We're only doing basic tidying up jobs but there are plenty of those both inside and outside the house. I also indulged my fondness for fluffy things and bought a fluffy black bodywarmer and a pink very fluffy dressing gown to keep cosy in on these cooler evenings.
