No, I haven't managed to injure all of the above. ;-}

My knee is mostly better -- but until I find out more about it, I think I have to assume it will be a weak spot indefinitely, and plan my tramping and walking habits around giving it a little slack.

I'm about to go to work again this morning, sorting random collections of junk and precious keepsakes at a recycling center. It's a weeks work, anyway, enough to keep me out of trouble, and then I'm off on the weekend to visit some horsepeople (the Ffoulkes', who MaryAnn recommended) for a few days.

I think I'll follow through on looking for a flat/room here in Christchurch, and stick around for a while. I'm enjoying the busy aikido schedule at the larger club?dojo? and really like the idea of not needing to move around for a while.
