Home again, home again, jiggety jig

First of all, thank you for all the kind messages and positive thoughts after yesterday's post!  

I am very pleased to say that  all the positive vibes from the blogosphere and family and friends who called and texted must have counted, because Mr U-t-B has made a fabulous recovery from his discectomy so far. On regaining consciousness, he could already feel the difference in his legs and feet, with numb areas sensitive again and the vice-like pains gone!  By yesterday evening, less than ten hours after being operated on, he was able to walk to the loo, without crutches or walking stick.  Yay!

Today he was quickly signed off by the physiotherapist as able to be discharged and later on by the doctor. So he's now making our bedroom look untidy again!

But look what he's been delving into already...



My naughty sister sent him a toolbox!
Luckily, the contents are a little unusual...







And also rather delicious, in a chocolatey, biscuity kind of way!


The only tools he'll be let near for some time to come - I may even need to lock the real ones away!


The biscuit toolkit is from 'Biscuiteers'. 
I knew of the book...

But I didn't know of the fantastic website with its glorious range of original biscuit-y gifts.

Anyway, better go now - Mr U-t-B wants a spanner!
