Yer bees had a good Embra visit, despite the horrible wind…Got back to Peebles with a tyre pressure warning, and discovered we had a flat! No, not a bungalow (though we also have one of those). Mr Bee is still dealing wivvit - I took a taxi home.
Bad bee!

Oh Soo. NALL.
Breezy wiv rain here, but no storm as such, yet.
I am being taken to Tiny Tesco tomorrow afternoon. My legs aren’t yet up to the walk.

Don’t push yourself, Carinthia. Fuzzy hugs and kindest wishes.

Seconded dear Chatelaine
You are going to have to be patient and cosset yourself
If you don’t I will rev up me broom and sit on you to make sure you rest and take nourishment in small but regular amounts
I am as you know a damned impatient so I can fully understand the wish to hurry to healing up
But please do not hesitate to ask for help from your friends and family who love you
You are a special person who is admired by all
I stubbed the other toe later.
I don’t think that my spatial awareness is quite up to the mark yet.

Things will recover meanwhile soft slippers might help with the toe bashing habit you are experiencing
Gentle hugs
And sleep dear. One
Eminently sensible Bee, imo. But then again, I am a notable waste of space and oxygen.
Never mind. I hope a dozen Beely feet are currently up, but six will do at a push.

Single foot of the simple gastropod proudly elevated (the Boys is guarding the scrape, see).
I can’t/don’t wear swippers, soft or otherwise. They are too flat & I can’t walk properly.
In Orsepiddle I had my Vionic open sandals with a thick sole. I could just slide my feet into them & they were eminently cleanable.
Many were walking around with bare feet
Shudder…

I am quite in awe of the red kites
They look to be huge and efficient cleaners of carrion
Even if they sometimes need to create said carrion by killing thing
Crocs seem to be one of the biggest changes to staff uniforms in Orsepiddle in these post Covid times because they are washable & can be worn with socks.
Crocs & trainers seem to have taken over.
I took my Crocs ‘sliders’ back with me after my home visit, but couldn’t get them on because my feet were swollen.

I have had an 20 minute outing to Tiny Tesco, courtesy of my friend.
Lunch has been an bargain sticker Greek salad wiv buttered baguette.
After an sweep, & if I have enuff oomph, I will make Sossinge sandwiches.
Carinthia. xx
Be kind to yourself dear and never strain at the minute
All the things about getting better that you tell me to do I am telling you to practice on yourself
Gentle hugs
If you find you have too many, I know someone who can dispose of them safely.
I am only doing what I can, Twellsy, & not very well at that, but I have to eat, to soak up the Extry Extry 18 tablets per day.

One of the things we’ll miss about living in Peebles, is that the garage we found is totally excellent - in our experience. They’ve replaced our poorly tyre, checked the rest and the wheel balancing and haven’t charged a fortune to do it. The newly appointed estate agent has visited to view and assess our let and ‘her joiner’ has hammered the ‘to let’ sign into the front garden. Feeling properly impermanent, now. The horrible thing that has happened, today, is that our erstwhile neighbour but always friend has told me that she has an aggressive, Stage 4 cancer. I wish that I were nearer to her.
For dinner - cod baked with fennel, cherry toms, capers, garlic and spices.

Not unalloyed ‘like’ likes, those, obviously.
Very sorry you have had such rotten news, wee Bee.
Gxx
In other news
Doom!
ENTROPY!!
Smog!!!
Well, maybe not yer actual smog. Need a beer. Doing something about that.
I have a glass of cold SB, which will do…for now. Cheers!

Dear Carinthia I am genuinely sorry to hear how low the wretched abcess has left you and you and I know that you are in need of sustenance to mop up meds
I have a basket of vodka scented hugs for
I am feeling very proud of myself with a new invention of a lamb sauce
A rump of lamb in the slow cooker with martyr as red wine garlic and Tom pureee onion and shrooms left to moulder for 24 hours and then the sauce thickened by boiling it and finishing it with a bit of butter
It was rather good
A fresh vegetable rice was the best thing to have with it
