Of course it took a bit of doing - but we managed to get V out of the house, in to the garden and on to the sofas before visiting friends arrived.

Thank goodness for zimmer frames!
(All the covered up bits are black and blue - yet I know he looks perfectly fine in this  pic)

He'll sleep well tonight.

Extras - flowers from their garden.
