The day dawned bright,sunny and cold so I decided on a stroll over to town for my Sunday shop.
I checked the live weather report and it was -1c feeling like -3c. Cold enough but with very little wind and sunshine things were set fair.
I donned my ankle supports,back brace,thermal socks,long Johns and vest,t shirt,sports shirt,fleece,hiking boots, heavy hiking trousers,scarf,Benny hat, winter coat and thermal gloves. Only then was I ready for the off. I soon warmed up walking steadily but carefully because of ice patches. I was as sure footed as a mountain goat thanks to my boots,I was only going to Morrison's today for my pipe fodder and some chunks of dead animals to replenish my badly depleted stock.
I was early setting off and when I left Morrisons £32 lighter and a full back pack and shopping bag found it was 35 minutes to bus time. Not wanting to hang about in the cold I started off walking home. I arrived home at 11:15 the time the bus was leaving to come here. I was glad to get home with no injuries or pain. It was good to get out of the back brace and I now have an idea of how the ladies felt when they removed their corsets with a big sigh and a lot of belly scratching which is just what I did. Still the brace worked and that's what matters..
A good mornings work and a chance to relax and watch a game before starting dinner.
