turpsWe did another craft fair today, and it was the best one yet. It was inside a school with air conditioning, which was a huge plus and James managed to sell a nice bit of stock, which was great.
We also had a drive to the beach after the fair was finished to get some ocean time, as no way am I going there again until the temp drops at the end of next week. It was busy enough today and that was before the rocketing temperatures that are upcoming.
Tomorrow I'm going to go buy a cool mat for Milo, I've been watching practically the whole country turn red with the heat warning and when I saw our area was forecast for around 34c for a couple of days I knew I needed to do something to help him. I actually had a mat in my hand yesterday to buy but the sales assistant at Pets at Home was dubious if a dog cool mat would do for cats as they tend to claw and the gel could be poisonous. So I let her talk me into a cooling bandana, which of course Milo will have nothing to do with. I do think the mat is the best option, he doesn't claw and a towel should give extra protection. Of course, Murphy can use it too, it's just with Milo's age and limited mobility I'm worried for him.
James' back procedure is on Tuesday at what will be the hottest part of the day. We're both glad he's finally getting it done but the timing could have been better. So I think the plan is to do grocery shopping tomorrow, maybe an early morning cinema visit on Monday where we both want to see the film and also take advantage of the air con, stay home on Tuesday until hospital time, then it'll be recovery for James while I potter in the house and garden the rest of the week.
After nearly two months I finally got my new compressions yesterday and one foot piece. That isn't really an issue as I can't wear them until shown how to fit them properly at my next appointment with Grahame, and even then they're only for puffy feet occasions. But even so, why send one and not a pair? But I wore my new wraps today and they look clean and not fluffy from where the Velcro always snags where they fasten. Of course, they're also hot and I'd love to take them off but in these temps, I can't risk it as my legs will start to swell really fast if I did so.
We had an early start today to get to the fair for nine, so add in taking the crates to the car, time at the fair, the drive to the beach, putting crates into the garage, making tea etc I'm tired now. So I intend to give the garden a good soak then settle down for the night and watch the last two eps of The Umbrella Academy with a ice-cold Pepsi Max and a piece of cake I bought earlier.
