I had a good lympth appointment today. 1ltr of excess fluid gone from each leg and inches in measurements in some places. I was hoping I'd get some new knee high compressions as one of mine keeps slipping, but apparently I was borderline in terms of losing so much fluid I could have a new prescription, so I have skin glue instead and an appointment for another three months, where he assured me I will need, and will get, new ones.

I got a taxi there this time as both James and Kayleigh were at work -- though James did pick me up. Next time though I think I will take the two buses and walk after because ouch, £15 for one journey is a bit steep.

I got to the market yesterday, I didn't buy anything but enjoyed the festive atmosphere and went to see Fenwick's window after. Fenwicks is a big department store and every year they have a fantastic window display. This year it's The Snowman themed, but what I like most is the Greggs opposite has flipped its main sign around, so when people inevitably take pictures of the window, the Greggs logo is reflected the right way around. I think that's great, and fantastic marketing that cost nothing but the flipped sign.

That's fantastic progress! *\o/*

You're making fantastic progress, go you!

Yeah, taxis are very convenient but horribly expensive.

Enjoying the atmosphere is the best thing about holiday markets! I love when shops continue traditions like that. There's a big deparment store in Stockholm that has had these fantastic holiday window displays for over a hundred years. That is such a fun thing about the shop opposite! I wonder who came up with the idea. So simple and effective.

I’m glad your appointment went well!

Ouch, that is steep. I’ve not used a taxi in years though so I dunno

Oh that’s pretty cool! Alas there’s no big window displays here, even in Birmingham but the lights look pretty

Hee, what a good idea!

Yay you!! That's great news about your appointment.

That is a funny marketing ploy, and simple in it's genius.

That's some progress, T.!

That's great news about your legs! Go you!
