My husband has been decorating so we have windows open and no heating on

. No more gardening for me today.

I have the opposite problem no more gardening because of the sun! Unless I get it done before 8am, I can't now do any gardening because the sun is too hot and too strong. Late evening isn't an option because it's too hot and sticky and there's too many sweat flies around then.

Had to come in this evening from eating or evening meal outside because it was getting too cold to sit out. It was 23C much to everyone's surprise. It was only 7pm.

My sister sent me a message and called me sis, she has never called me that before

Today I dressed for winter but it isn't

I trod on a small stone earlier, my heel is now very sore

 

[buckytom]

The agony of da feet.

The agony of da feet.

It really hurts

Right down to your soul.

Typical, not only do I have a sore heel but on my way in this morning I found an uneven part of the pavement so I now have a throbbing ankle as well... stop the planet I want to get off

Many moons ago I injured my ankle, severe sprain of the lateral ligament, was on crutches, strong pain killers and anti-inflammatories for months, then had to have physio etc.. typical that this is the ankle that I twisted this morning. So far I have had 4 pain killers, walking as little as possible and I am going to get a lift home because I really do not feel up to the walk home. I can feel it swelling up

If it swells, get it iced and elevated.

After years of playing hockey, I sympathize with gimpy ankles. Actually, I was playing hockey in the driveway this past Sunday and shot a puck off my son's anklebone.
He was very proud to show off his big bruised ankle in school yesterday. Lol, the scars of battle when you're a kid. A bane later in life.

I am wearing an ankle strap which is helping. We don't have any ice nor a bag of cheap peas which is what I originally used when I had the accident.
