He really does need to see a good physical therapist if for no other reason than to get exercises that prevent him from doing himself further harm while he favors that bits that ache. <br /><br />Prime example: after a couple of months in a walking cast for a broken foot, my hips are out of alignment and I pull to the right when I brake. <br /><br />Still, if I've made you laugh my job is done. Hugs to you both. <br /><br />...Susiesusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017788096350527796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-17621364362347511902010-08-19T08:06:39.000+02:002010-08-19T08:06:39.000+02:00LOL Susie.

Some days I feel old, some days young.<br /><br />Susan, we didn't get any rain -- well, maybe a drop or two -- yesterday or this morning. Disappointing.<br /><br />Jean, thanks for the good wishes. I'll be in touch about the chutney.<br /><br />Evelyn, maybe I could use Photoshop to redden up the tomatoes! And by the way, my back hurts today after all that heaving lifting.<br /><br />Diogenes, I may be asking you too for that recipe.<br /><br />And Kristi, I tried fried green tomatoes a couple of years ago. They were good. Good tip about the warm nights for ripening tomatoes.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-3700485456109892262010-08-18T18:32:56.392+02:002010-08-18T18:32:56.392+02:00I just looked back and see that I made fried green...I just looked back and see that I made <a href="http://ckenb.blogspot.com/2009/10/green-tomatoes.html" rel="nofollow">fried green tomatoes and green tomato ketchup</a> in October last year.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-36882274610952060402010-08-18T18:00:35.313+02:002010-08-18T18:00:35.313+02:00Fried green tomatoes anyone?

Perhaps I shouldn't worry - our apples and pears are now ripe and need dealing with.
