Getting too old…

[RossM 7,979]

Me!! To play football, done my knee in and was advised to rest elevate for 6 weeks. Anyway 3 weeks in  and I was demented, lurcher just needed to go mental, and I genuinely thought the terrier was in a coma most of the time. Anyway, a couple from this morning it was 2 and a bit very hard miles for me but a walk in the park for the dugs… ferreting tomorrow too

Great pics and looks nice place . I find when I get told to rest up it might help for few days but then a dark cloud "depression " starts to set in and I'd rather have aches and pains than the dark cloud .  

I hope you have a good day ferreting 

Atb mooch

Fair play mate, there’s me moaning about knee ligaments too your right, I get itchy feet can’t sit still, I knew my knee was goosed months ago and I am still undecided that if I had perhaps been less strenuous and cautious then I may not be walking like I’ve shat myself now, truth is I don’t like to miss out really, and I love smashing the young team who think they can get away with a step over
