.. today.
But the shopping expedition started before I went out, actually.
Liz turned up as planned, but she had stopped off at the chemist on the way here and bought some arnika tablets and some calendula oil.
The arnika is for easing the pain and bruising, and the calendula oil is a natural anti-inflammatory preparation for rubbing on the knee. and seeing as nothing else seems to be working right now, it’s worth a chance.
Last night was, for a change, an excellent sleep. I remember nothing whatever until the alarm went off, and even though it’s not a Sunday, I lay in bed until about 08:25.
After a coffee Liz and I went to the shops, fighting our way through the grockles.
Nowhere came up with anything special, although we had a nice lunch in LeClerc. I also helped Liz check her tyres – there was a lack of pressure in the rear left-hand tyre.
Back here, I crashed out not once but twice, and then hung out the washing that I had done while we were at the shops and changed all of the bedding.
For a change I didn’t feel much like tea but there were a few baked beans left so I had them with a couple of small potatoes.
An early night now, I reckon. And Sunday is a lie-in. So I’ll bathe my leg in calendula oil and hope that it produces some good results.
Liz is impressed by how much easier I am moving compared to last week, and for that I thank the salt baths. Let’s hope that the calendula can add to that.
Ahh tyres….
I had leaky tyres. I ended up replacing them. They were almost 7 years old. I now have tyres that do not leak.
Speaking of leaking tyres… They say car and SUV tyres should be replaced every 5 years. There’s no recommendation for bus tyres though. Very strange. I questioned Dunlop who were mystified that anybody should ask such a question.
