Friday 19th December

Fortunate enough to get a game of tennis indoors this morning, good fun but played badly (sorry partner!) Left Daniel with dog walking duties and a note that said 'unlucky'!!

Had to go to circuits at the Merton as it was the last one before Christmas and I had card for everyone to sign. Then had a brilliant pedicure (birthday voucher, thank you) which was very relaxing and I've now got beautiful feet (well, certainly better) Although there was a moment as i lay on the couch thinking that really should I, me of a certain low platelet count be playing tennis, (dangerous, could have been hit by racquet, fallen over etc), then to do circuits involving lifting heavy weights (heavy ish) again a veritable danger zone. And, to top it all off I was subjecting my feet to a lot of murderous looking implements, any one of which could (thankfully did not ) cause a bleed.
Toe nails are now a very Christmassy red colour,(apt I thought) and there's a story about them too....

I was told that it would take an hour and a half to dry the nails off properly, but I really needed to walk the dog, which meant putting on socks, and shoes, oh the dilemmas one has to face. I then recalled someone telling me that if you smear your toes in oil (any oil, but not diesel, obviously)and then wrap your feet in cling film before putting your socks on it stops the polish rubbing off.
So, always ready to give it a try I did as instructed and went off for the walk, (slipping around a bit in shoes it has to be said). Did it work?, well, actually yes, but I did take my  boots and socks off at the end of the walk to find a small scrunched up ball of cling film in the toe of my sock....


Sniffing out pheasants


Not wanting to end this blog on a sad note, but I'm afraid that we had some bad news today, Stephen's cousin-in-law KC passed away this morning. She had what was a relatively (as I understand) routine operation, developed complications , and ended up with pneumonia. Our thoughts are with her husband, son, and the rest of the family.
