Can you believe this (Stop - No dog poop please) sign? Some people apparently need to be told this! We have super mailboxes on each street where we go to collect our mail. The city went so far as to put these blue boxes beneath them as a receptacle for unwanted mail, no doubt trying to stop people from creating a mess with their garbage.
We were all set (and excited) to visit a friend's new cottage on the weekend. He called at 8 pm the night before to cancel. It seems he had stepped out of the cottage that day and twisted his ankle on some wooden steps which were a bit damp and slippery. He was on his way to emergency because he was now thinking it was broken as he couldn't put any weight on it. M had to call the other couple who were also invited to inform them of the mishap. We hope he's not in too much pain and that he'll make a swift recovery. It sure beats a heart attack though doesn't it? When friends call like that you think the worst, and this man had a heart attack in his late thirties. He's in his early fifties now and has been fine.
As a followup to this story, it seems M's friend is in a light, modern type of cast, having broken a small bone in his foot. He is able to get around quite well with the new cast. It will take 4 to 6 weeks to heal.
