Achilles Blog 55 – 30.9.14. All the good things about Noah – and strangers
My fame preceded me when the new term started a few weeks ago at St. W’s primary school… a young girl I didn’t recognise ran up to me as I sat in the special reading room in the junior school … Continue reading
Achilles Blog 32 – 10.7.14. Ciao to Brazil
Oh dear. The host nation needed me. Even with my gammy leg I’m sure I could have made a difference. There is surely only one possible explanation…the Brazil team got caught in heavy traffic and did not make it to … Continue reading

Achilles Blog 29 – 3.7.14. Lounging at Club Vass
Club Vass… on the beach at Vassiliki Bay, is like a huge seafront living room… and while Jay does his windsurf class, I keep my leg supported (see pic). I cannot walk too far without the Boot (at least I … Continue reading

Achilles Blog 21 – 13.6.14. Foot ball crazy
My favourite room in our house is the loft room. Just pips the kitchen where we look out onto Jay’s lovely semi-wild glade/garden and the Lafuma recliner (get one!!). We built it in 2010 and it has its own little … Continue reading
Achilles Blog 19 – 10.6.14. Standing on my own two feet
Since yesterday, I am standing on my own two feet… feels good! No pain… but only careful pwb on the healing leg. I stand on two feet in the shower, and I take a few pigeon steps around the room… … Continue reading
Achilles Blog 8 – 19.5.14. Balancing between the crutches
I have the most delightful, delightful, delightful Godson! I was stranded at Sainsbury’s carrying a rucksack full of beverages for the FA cup final – too heavy to crutch back home. He and his Dad swing by to pick me … Continue reading
