But we still manage a walk most days, even though often a short one if it's a hot day.
Yesterday we headed off to Yarra Glen for a Bowen therapy session for both human and canine together.
And how wonderful it was, for me with a sore aching back and Penny with her arthritic joints.
On the way home we stopped off briefly at Heide Museum of Modern Art for a quick lunch. There's a huge garden with outdoor sculptures and various installations, and many old, substantial shade trees. Dogs are welcome as long as they are kept on lead.
However, because Penny and I had been in an air-conditioned car driving the fifty minutes down from Yarra Glen in the hills, I hadn't realised how hot it was, even in the shady outdoor section of the cafe. I had already ordered my lunch, so while we waited I quietly poured my drinking water onto Penny. (As you can see in the photo, the kindly waiter had brought the dog drinking bowl inside for us.
