Okay there are several mysteries to ponder today. Why does the washing machine leak like a sieve except when the repair guy arrived this morning? Why have my feet 'flared up' again? Why do I not have 'puff' when I am eating not badly? Why didn't the podiatrist just fix my feet? Why don't people dressup to go into town any more?
On Tuesday my feet started hurting again without any procation on my part! but I thought... great, as I'm going to the podiatrist on Wednesday and this will give me the full deal to talk about. On Wednesday I thought I would walk and ferry to town to try and stretch the feet out. It was unfortunately lunch hour and the streets were crowded but we got there in plenty of time and my feet weren't worst nor better when I started. The podiatrist checked me out and said I had no pathology showing, that they were nicely formed and that my shoes were a good choice and the insert I'm using is a good choice. The only thing she offered was that I try lympathtic drainage massage because all the bad chemistry is dropping to my legs and feet. So we hobbled back home and I selpt for two hours. My feet feel tired today and a little stiff but not as painful I think. It's a mystery.
Thanks to Jim the runner for more advice on energy storage and to Mary-ellen. I'm trying to eat more Low GI carbs and see if that increases energy. I don't think I'll be doing any weight lifting soon though.
No kidding it was classic. The washing machine has been leaking for a week and we mop it up regularily. The building handi man had a look and said it's not the hoses call the appliance repair guy. He came this morning. He moped up used new dry towels to try and spot the leak and NO LEAK! no hint of a leak. He tryed every part of the cycle...nothing. He left it pushed out with a towel down and Bluey is doing a few loads but part way through load 2 and there is no sign of a leak. It's a mystery!
Mary-Ellen stayed the night as her husband Wal was in the hospital getting some tests. They were negative for artery blockages so they are back to the drawing board by the way. Anyway we got to talking about how we used to get dressed up to go to town for appointments or even to go shopping but many folks don't do that anymore. There was an article in the paper here, that folks going before magistrates don't even get out of t shirts and jeans and often go to court in bare feet! What's that about. You would think that self preservation would get you to clean up to show respect for the court, but apparently that doesn't matter. It's a mystery.
more later

Chris I believe that I have the answers you seek.
*Ahem*
1. Washing machines are dangerous and mischievous house hold appliances which take delight in leaking (except in the presence of a repairman whose wraith they fear greatly).
2. You’re feet haven’t flared up because you have forgotten to change the batteries. Does a torch work without batteries? No. I suggest that you change them buggers.
3. You do not have puff when you eat ‘not badly’ (this was highly confusing by the way, I had to read it a few times to understand what the hell was going on though I do have a sneaking suspicion that it involves ducks) because trains now run on electricity and not coal (get with the times Chris, that was so 17th Century)
4. Podiatrists like to traumatize unsuspecting bald men (you will have to wait for that red afro I prophesized before your feet can be fixed….coincidently, you may need a spanner and a nail gun for that)
5. People don’t dress up to go into town anymore because they have lost the ability to charm/blackmail their mothers into ironing their clothes.
I also have a theory about your feet. Socks. You need to buy them expensive socks. See you are giving all of your love to your hair and your feet feel left out, they are trying to tell you in every way you can but you simply cannot read the signs. Luckily for you I am a clairvoyant aye?
When I say clairvoyant I of course mean idiotic.
Did I say idiotic I meant entertaining.
Which is really the same thing if you think about it.
Hopefully though you can chanel negative energy into berating your feet to behave themselves and feel sympathy for your poor hair. It would also be advised to tell your feet to grow up and stop behaving like…well…like feet.
That is all.
I love you as much as I love something really lovable and a little more than I love Nesquik (and THAT is saying something)…
Sian.
