LAST ONE FOR THE MONTH

 

Today I'm off on an FBG walk again.  It is the last Urban Challenge walk, up for walking in August, that I want to tick off.

After today, if I go over to Cambridge for a walk (for the rest of August), it will only be a 'social walk'.

I am going to wear my 'new' sneakers today, to see if they aggravate my foot again.

The past two walks I've worn my old sneakers, and not suffered with a sore foot afterwards.

So, it's gunna be interesting to see if the problem WAS my new sneakers.

It's called a process of elimination.  

Once home, I'm going to do some sewing... I bought a new shower curtain the other day, as my current one was starting to look MANKY on the bottom.  Why do the white ones all end up going pinkish and yukky on the bottom???

Anyway, I digress.  The new shower curtain is too long, so I need to shorten it.

After that I've got a few other jobs on me list.

When Lacy arrives, I'm going to ask her to clean our 2 kayaks.  I am going to sell them.

It will be the THIRD time we have bought, hardly used, then sold kayaks.  I think we have learnt our lesson now!   DON'T BUY KAYAKS, cos while we enjoy kayaking, we just don't do it often enough to justify having friggin kayaks. 😣😫😖

I was feeling a bit down heartened yesterday after some plans changed, but upon thinking about it... things happen for a reason and we just have to go with the flow.

So, I'm feeling more chipper today.  Things will work out when they are supposed to eh. I strongly believe in fate, always have.  Do you?

ONWARD...

Alrighty.  It's now 2 pm!  I have finally arrived home and had a chance to sit down and do an update.

First off, the walk this morning was lovely.  Nice cool, cloudy day.  

Foot?  Hated the 'new' sneakers again. Very painful after the walk.

Then I had to walk around in town to buy a new pair of sneakers.  

Which I found:

ABOVE: The price was an eye watering $260!  I then took them to a Shoe Repair shop to have leather put under where my big toes lift.  They should be ready by next Tuesday.

In the meantime, IF I go for another walk, it will be in my old sneakers.

I caught up with Stew while in town. 

As I was walking along the  street... off to buy said sneakers, I hear this loud voice yell out "HI MUM".

I glance to me left... and there goes Steve, off on some job.  Cute. 

ABOVE:  I had to walk past it eh?  So, of course I went in and bought some Giant Jellybeans.

Stew got some to have with his lunch.  I simply had them for my lunch!  lol

ABOVE: My day's walk stats... we all walked a wee bit further today, to the St Kilda coffee shop.

Where we will not be going again.  They FAIL at service.  The waitress could not read English, much less speak it well, so muddled up who ordered what.  My hot chocolate was lovely though, I can't complain about that.

Apparently, the girls went there last week and got dreadful service as well.   So today was a make or break visit.  BROKE.

Now that I'm home, Lacy will be here shortly to do a few jobs for me.  I think she's gunna freeze cleaning the kayaks!  Do I feel sad for her?

NOPE ... rather her than me!

And... sadly, Lacy arrived and wasn't feeling the best.   So I sent her home.

ABOVE:  Stew and I can clean these on Sunday, and I will list them on Marketplace on Monday, all going well.

They were a right bitch to carry up from around the back, but I did it!  I felt rather proud of myself, cos they are damned awkward to carry.

Now, I've got my heart set on getting back into the sewing room.

So that's what I shall do.

6.50 pm and I'm sitting here freezing me buns off. Stew is at the pub and I would usually be at Steve 'n' Bex's.  But Dante is sick and throwing up, so I'm not going anywhere near them today!

I am going to join Stew at the pub in a little while, have some lovely hot chips, then come home to hunker down with me heat pod and blankie.

And there ends my day (on the blog), I'll catch ya tomorrow with more OMG riveting day to day shit.  lol
