Four years ago, when I had my arm in a sling after breaking a shoulder, our then two-year old granddaughter saw me take it out to do some exercises and ordered, “Arrow, put arm in!”
Today we are in the newly re-developed Dunstan Playground and I am clambering down the rocks to meet her at the bottom of the giant slippery-dip. She sees me climbing down and calls out reprovingly, “Arrow! You’ve just had heart surgery!”
