Surprise, surprise, I don't have very much on the agenda today.
Lacy is coming over so we can go on a walk sometime this morning. I might take a few photos of areas you ain't seen yet.
After freezing my buns off at the markets on Friday and Saturday, I've decided to use the lovely sheepskin off the footstool, for my market seat. That should help keep me warm. Don't know why I haven't thought of it sooner.
ABOVE: I bought some of these things from The Chemist Warehouse yesterday. I am going to put one on my lower leg and see if it does warm up and help keep my leg warm? It would be awesome if it does work. I will try anything to help keep me warmer!
And that's about all I have for now... catch ya later.
ANON: You are not being a 'downer', just a concerned person. Thank You.
But.. in this instance you are incorrect. These pads can be used ON THE BODY, just not directly on your skin. I read the instructions very carefully.
Lacy arrived bright and early (for me), and we did our first full walk around my new village.
Not a big or fast walk, but it's a start. We can add distance once I've got my fitness up a bit.
ABOVE: Stew and I now live 90 seconds from this ... and we can add river walks to our day anytime we want.
ABOVE: On our walk this morning... posing by our river. Lacy has a lovely new drink bottle. Lilac and purple.
She's now gone home, and I'm rapidly cooling down, so will get off me arse and do some jobs.
VERY EXCITED to say the bathroom renovation starts this THURSDAY. Whoop whoop.
The shower and vanity and related tapware arrives tomorrow.
I shall have to buy some wet area paint for the walls. And towel rails. I'm trying to decide if I paint the walls pure white, or a pale blue?
Well the Body Warmers work, but not as good as I hoped they would. I think I simply have cold legs 'n' feet. Probably a lot to do with being diabetic. Grrrr.
I went to the mall to find a kitchen clock. Found one that will do.
Home now, and contemplating doing nothing for a while.
It's quite a windy day, and inside I can hear it... through the old gas heater on the wall. It will be neat when that monstrosity is removed.
Sorry to be a downer, but the warmer is only for hands not anywhere else. Because you can burn/damage skin. especially dangerous for diabetics as you don't feel the burning in the same way and more damage can be done. There is a warning on the pack that says this. Please only use in pockets only.

ReplyDeletethese fleece lined leggings might be a help instead. I haven't used them but some friends have and they rave about them
I have some of these leggings. They make a huge difference. Wear them a lot. Kj
DeletePàint the bathroom walls pale blue. My bathroom is all white and it makes me dizzy a lot. Too bright! Kj
ReplyDeleteOh wow what a beautiful spot for walking! You could have picnic days there too
ReplyDelete90 seconds. I would take a fold up chair, a book, a sandwich, a beverage, and have a mini-picnic. Lovely.

Off, exciting bathroom will be done and dusted soon then curtains up, vent heater off wall couch delivered, warmer weather you’ll be painting a smaller place be all brand new.
Do you have single or double glazing? Just curious.
I got some of those pads, the body ones, for my lower back (I keep breaking heating pads or the cats do!). They go on the outside of my clothes and take a little while to warm up but they do work and I can move around with them. How exciting for your bathroom renovation. We are doing ours soon too hopefully. Trish from Oz.
ReplyDeleteI have a heated jacket for work. I only do 45 minutes mornings and afternoons but it keeps me a lot warmer
ReplyDeleteLovely walk.
