Short Walks in London & Staines<\/strong>: As I mentioned a few days ago in my post on The New Trafalgar Dispatch<\/a>, in September 2005 I was suffering from a knee injury. Over the next few days, from September 11th-17th I did manage to get out for some short walks close to home, and managed a short walk in London around Highbury Fields on my way to visit a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had been advised by my doctor that gentle exercise was likely to help, but had to do rather a lot of stopping and resting when the pain became too intense. And after a couple of days I had to give up taking the strong painkillers he had prescribed because of the side effects on my stomach and could only rely on paracetamol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Saturday17th it was beginning to feel a little less painful – and after Highbury I even made a short visit to St Paul’s Cathedral and Paternoster Square. The next day it felt good enough for me to risk going up to London again to photograph the Thames Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t take a great many pictures – and here I’ll post all of those I thought worth putting on My London Diary in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took a few months – as my doctor had said it would – for my knee to get entirely back to normal, and twenty-two years later it still seems in reasonable shape. I hope it will keep going for a few more years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
