Did a bit of traveling this past weekend. Father in law was in town, which meant I needed to find somewhere to go. Mom, my sister and I drove down to the outskirts of Dallas for an In N Out lunch. Yeah we are just a little nuts to drive 5 hours for a burger. But it was a great excuse to get away and it was awesome.
@snowpack good morning - did you mean you drive to meet FIL or avoid him? Sorry I’m not up to date yet having been missing from the group for a while.
@Charade67 glad work problems were sorted. When I first took early retirement I took some work in our local hospital HR department processing visa applications. New to me but I enjoyed the detective work involved.....then I made an error I wasn’t sure how to correct before someone was due to start work....had to own up and thankfully not the first time it had happened and soon sorted - phew!
@Lynne G during lockdown I sent for flat shoes from a firm supposed to be for feet like mine - so narrow in depth that even trying to wear them in around the house turned my toe nails black - I was so reluctant to give in because of their price but Kev threw them straight in the bin! 3 months on big toe nails are still recovering. Have to avoid damage - even scratches to my legs and feet - moisturised daily to try and keep them well. I find them embarrassing but a private consultant I saw when I was working told me as very few men suffer with the condition there’s been virtually no research on lymphoedema.
Our news is showing the amazing storms from last night - describing them as tropical - but again another beautiful morning.
Emma is collecting the children at 9 and she has made a shoe fitting appointment for them over the hills in Buxton where there is an excellent children’s shop - appointment only at the moment. A beautiful Victorian Spa town with a lovely park and old buildings so I’m tagging along for the visit. Will post a couple of photos later.
More coffee before I dress. Pondering what to make for dinner tonight - I now have the ingredients for the fennel and watermelon salad to have with chicken but need something else for the children.
