Tiles and Shingles

The other day I spied a guy pulling a house down so we stopped and asked how he was going to get rid of it all. He said down the tip so I got 12 tiles off him to aid the removal. You always need some spare tiles.  So since being here on the island I have had a persistent ache and pain in my left thigh and a particular bite mark was starting to spread. Turns out they have full time doctor here on the island and he has diagnosed Shingles which seems to be a serious problem since I have to take 17 pills a day to get on top of it.

Shingles is not fun

Airborne Supremacy

I have a rib problem.  Mostly bruising I think, but it is a pain to breathe. I did some trampolining last night.  It is a tricky business. Some would say that retirees should not be bouncing around in purpose made jumping socks. Dodge ball is OK lots of padding there. Jumping into the pit of foam is easy to get into but getting out is another story. However, beware of the professional rigs with unpadded walls designed for landing on aka Cirque du Soleil style.  I jack knifed into the wall rather than gaining any purchase on top of the wall. Then there is the added problem of landing back on the tramp and bouncing around a bit more in a semi stunned state.  All in all a dizzying experience but there is still some physicality in this retiree.
