In Between Days

Thursday. 

Awful day weather wise, wet cold and windy. We needed food shopping so it was important we venture out to stock up ready for the weekend. 

Not wanting to be out in it long we dropped off some bits for the charity shop ( again trying to thin down what we have a little) we wanted some bits and bobs from Boots, I needed foot cream, my feet need a good pamper. I have a sore spot on the arch of my left foot, and in general they are dry.My foot moves around in my shoes, due to my gait, and that causes friction. That in turn gives me blisters if Im not careful. As soon as the redness and burning sensation start I put moleskin on the area, to take the pressure off and try and stop the blister from forming.

We had coffee in Costa as the murky weather started to close in and it began raining harder. 

We then went to M&S for the fruit and veg, and again I picked up sushi for lunch. I also picked up a ready made Chia pudding just to see if they were any better than the ones I make. 

The buses were haywire again one behind the other, but you could see why as there are roadworks everywhere. We walked to the stop opposite Co-op to kill some time until one was due. 

Once home Kev ran a foot spa, we both used it, and then we had a pair of foot mask socks on each for a good hour. I used a foot file while the skin was softer, making sure not to remove only the rough hard skin and not the lot of it, I learned from a podiatrist years ago to leave some of the hard skin as it protects my feet from getting blisters. They do feel and look a lot better for it. I also wore my new trainers today first time outside and am pleased to say they are as comfy as the grey ones. Those have gone in the bin now as the soles were showing signs of wear, once that happens it can make my limp more pronounced and makes walking more uncomfortable. They didn't last too bad though, a year or so which is good for me, as I'm heavy on shoes.
