Tim stumbled as he bolted down the steps the other
day and caught himself on the corner wall concealed by the shrubs; yesterday
and today we’ve noticed that he is limping, not because his foot hurts, which
was our first thought, but because he is favouring the shoulder. It is worst when
he first gets up from sleep; he’s like me, a bit creaky until we’ve moved
around a bit. We’ll give him another easy day with only light exercise and hope
it clears up soon.
Everything else is fine. The weather is cool
enough to allow gardening and walking – typical, isn’t it? Now that Tim is
limping and needs rest, we could have gone out and done the circuit: Gite
Rural, Peyrouse, down the hill to Saint Maurice and back home along the
straight road to the bridges.

Cloudy and cool, with a threat of rain this
morning. Tim still limping. Paws checked, nothing found. No lumps, bumps, and
he doesn’t seem to feel pain when we try to find a sore spot.

Shortly after my last post we lost the internet connection, which we had been expecting. We're now home after a visit to the vet to get Tim cleared as fit to travel, then next day we set off up the country on Tuesday, no problems at Eurotunnel and up England to Newcastle around 4pm on Wednesday. Tim behaved very well, but he is still limping and we still can't find any reason for it. Hopefully it is bruising that will fade in time. So glad we cleared Eurotunnel when we did. I have every sympathy for those who are stuck there.
