We have 100s of daffodils up and down our drive, the were looking glorious till the wind hit them hopefully they will bounce back a bit.

The last 2 days while walking our dog we did a little bit of litter picking. We don't go far as she's getting old but quite a load in the end. A bin bag nearly full of rubbish including a boot and I think wine must be on offer at the off licence 8 bottles! Collected.

This came up on my reels today. It's true we really don't think about foot mobility. Not just the big toe but the entire foot. If the way we walk changes then movement patterns through the entire body change causing all sorts of problems from knee and hip issues to back problems. Time to get those feet flexible.

So this is a little trick I learnt years ago. If your nail is splitting down its length or across you can repair it with a tea bag! Yes you read that right. Remove the tea and cut a small piece of the bag that covers the split but is smaller than the nail. Round off the corners to reduce lifting. Place the piece of bag over the split and either cover it with clear nail varnish or for a more permanent adherence cover with nail glue. Make sure the entire bag is covered, if using nail polish put a second coat on, allow both to dry fully. This will allow the nail to grow up without catching and reduce the risk of it splitting further. It can removed easily with nail varnish remover or acetone if you used nail glue. This is a great emergency repair especially if you have split it across the nail to low.

After getting soaked every 5 minutes yesterday, what a beautiful day for being out doing home visits. Nice to see the sun again 🌞👣

I've talked about moisturising your feet in the last couple of posts. Just a quick side note, if you have taken up a new regime of moisturising daily and been following instructions to the letter and aren't getting any results or if you have been a regular moisturiser of your feet for a long time and they still stay dry bare in mind it could be athlete's foot. If your not sure get it checked by a foot healthcare practitioner, podiatrist or pharmacist.

The other foot cream I use is flexitol. I don't use this cream very often as most feet don't need such a high level of urea. This has 25% urea in it and is a much thicker cream. It can take a bit of work to get into the skin but is great for heavily dry and cracked heels. Results do come quickly and this product can be used up to 3 times a day. This would be in the worst cases. This is a much richer cream than CCS. It can be safely used by diabetics.

Just my luck the last 3 days have been really foggy here especially up the mountain. Today I'm off over the bridge to sit in a treatment room all day and it's an absolutely glorious start to the day here 😂🌞 Just to add insult to injury the sum has started shining as I'm typing this🤣😂🤣
