    Day 41 pre-op Dinner last night: Spinach and ricotta cannelloni. A regular morning of doing dishes and the usual housework chores indoors, while my Darling fixed the entry gate from the driveway to our house-yard, which has been dodgy since we has a house sitter in (my sister) whilst we were away on holidays. We…
