Started week 9 with 4 days of socializing. Bracing myself (pacing?) not to join the ODIC again.
So yesterday went to a garden party. The weather was foul (drizzled with rain all day) but they put up gazebos and we huddled and ate and laughed anyway. My achievements for the day were:
1) I took my new memory foam seat cushion with me this time and was much more comfortable! I saw they had the dreaded wrought iron garden chairs that did me in a few weeks ago
So swiftly chose a more comfy plastic one with arms to plonk my cushion on. Success!
2) thanks to
@ChrissyW idea, I even had painted toenails to show off! I couldn't get a pedicure appointment in time, but I managed to tape a small bamboo plant stick onto my nail polish bottle top. That 'handle' made it long enough for me to reach my toes!
. I had to have a very steady hand but it worked fine. Creative hippies unite.
I was exhausted when we got home so took a long nap. Energy drain is still lurking but hubby can't understand it. Today is day 4 social, with family visiting from Spain. Hopefully just a few hours then back home for rest.
Our hot weather has broken and it looks like a week of British rain but I'm not complaining. Have a great summer all, however you can.
