How many of you ever point your toes OR stand on your toes and walk on them? You should you know, otherwise you aren't exercising any muscles in your foot. You might think you're doing the right think by shuffling along in flat shoes, but you aren't!
All your mucles inter-connect, so in de words of de song.. "De hip bone connected to de thigh bone, de thigh bone connected to de leg bone" and so on and it's all true!
Having had the good news that she hasn't broken a bone in her right foot, she's going to take that Barre Class on Friday. Leggings, ballet shoes, a t.shirt and a cardigan.. and off she'll go up the road.
Men and women alike do not realise how important our leg muscles are as we get older.
It is quite scary to see how people whom we know to be her age are not steady on their pins or walk slowly.. it ain't good folks! You should try to walk a bit further and a bit faster every day, apart from your legs, you must realise that your heart and your lungs are involved in exercise.. and they're kinda important as well!
We had lunch at lunch time! This was so out of character, that I thought she was joking and having a laugh (at my expense) until I smelt the pork chops on the griddle. Carrots, kai lan and spinach were steamed, two chops were seasoned and put onto a hot griddle, no fat, it's a lovely way to cook pork.
One trip up to New Horizons with some clothes, books and a huge bag of good hangers which are surplus to requirements. Then for the second trip, the library books went into WW and a comforter was pushed in on top. This had to go to one of the big washing machines at the laundrette in Cale Street.
Onto the library, quick change of books, then back to the laundrette through St. Luke's Gardens.
OH.. A Silver Sable! She whistled and his head shot up.. talk about a flash back, they're a veryvery rare sight in the UK. Ricky was the last one she saw and he died in 1978. The dog was large, a truly beautiful example of his breed, she went up to the woman who smiled when she said "hello, he's not an English dog is he, I had one when I was a child and both his parents were German dogs", the woman said "you are right, we brought him in with us from Germany eighteen months ago, we have never seen another with his colouring here".
Go on-line and look at Silver Sable, German Shepherd to see what we are talking about.
They talked for a bit and it made her smile, he had a lot of mannerisms that Ricky had.. the Germans have been much stricter on the breeding of their Shepherds, you don't see the lower back or the his-displacea so much, their dogs stand taller at the hind-quarters. He was a big boy.. just like Ricky.
They smiled at each other and she walked onto the laundrette, the comforter was ready, washed and dried. She paid the girls and walked home.
Then she did a bit of rootling about on iPad to find someone, called them to make an appointment, confirmed her optician's appointment on the 18th and set out her stuff for her visit tomorrow to Moorfields.
She cannot go on using this new optic drops, she'll tear her skin to shreds sooner or later and it makes her eyes sore and as for the cough, it drives her (and me) nuts at night. They'll have to change her onto another formula or back onto the original one.
Grey sky, gloomy but dry under foot, I am off to sit on front door pole and she's making a pot of our favourite LapySang, all is well in our world, as we hope it is in yours?
GeeGee Parrot.
