Well, we got back from our holiday on Friday evening at 7 pm UK time (would have been 8 pm where we had left so as we set off from the hotel at 10.30 that morning it had been a long day - 9.5 hours!). We had left a very very hot part of the world and returned to a very very cold and wet part of the world. I could not get warm when we came in. However, after good night's sleep and the heating having been on all night I was much better the next day.
Set off for our club meeting where we were revisiting Shrink Plastic and Pat, our tutor for the day, had made lots of things for us to see, had conducted lots of experiments with the various inks and things so there was lots for us to do.
I took some of the shrink plastic things I had made in the past and I made some bits whilst there:
The jewellery pieces on the right are what I had made previously and the three 'lady' pieces at the bottom were from printed images I already had.
On the way home I called at a well known Pharmacy for some lotion with Aloe Vera in it which Lynne had recommended. Three applications later and my legs are not looking as red as they were
Still sore though and the right foot is still swollen when I sit with it down so a cushion on the stool is the order of the day. Hopefully it will be better for tomorrow when I go to stay with my friend Wendy. Whatever it is that is causing this redness (varicose eczema or blood pooling?) it obviously does not like the sun, maybe the pooled blood started to simmer?
Well, I am certainly catching up on any missed sleep, woke at 6.30 this morning, made a cuppa and slept until 9.30 am. This is so not me - and I had slept most of last night in front of the tv. I guess it is doing me no harm at all so I will just enjoy dreaming. Got to do my reviews now on Trip Advisor - especially for the best burgers ever - Momo Burger in Nerja (and I am not addicted to burgers).
