Gehwol foot creams.

While training for my trip to Corsica I have had a few problems with blisters and sore feet.

I changed my boots and got new socks .

A few people recommended the Gehwol foot creams from backpacking light.

I was reluctant to buy these as they were so expensive,but I decided to treat myself and have not regretted it one little bit.

Not only do they smell real nice but they feel real nice too and leave no greasy after effect.

I especially like the refreshing foot balm , and put that on during the day, usually when I change my socks. Its cool and refreshing and feels great.

Half way….

Well I have become quite addicted to watching Prison break

so addicted we have watched 3 episodes tonight, making that 11 down and 11 more to go….

Think I had better re-join that gym as soon as possible….

Now its time to get my thigh trainer out and put di.fm on and get rid of some of my energy

The Sunshine’s…again !

What a great two days with no sign of the rain…

We made the most of it and went nude sunbathing and swimming in the river, at the Riverside club.

The river was exhilarating , cold to get into but nice for swimming….

Then today I finally got my swim in the Jesus Green outdoor pool.

I did a great 10 lengths , and was faster than Geoff , which has to be some kind of miracle. 🙂

A new link…….

On my side bar I now have a new link called my mobile blog.

It will take you to sallyinnorfolk on the move , a blog which I can post too from my mobile phone.

So if I am out and about and get the urge to blog…. I can 🙂

A new project….

With Geoff still away in Copenhagen till tomorrow evening.

I had time to go and visit my Craft club ladies, see what they have all been up too and start a project I have been meaning to start for a few weeks.

Why I want to knit a fluffy bag , I really don’t know !!!

What I will do with it when its finished , I really don’t know !!!

Maybe I will send it to welshcakes as we all know how much so loves hers bags……

More news from Corsica

Not sure I should be reading all of this but then I did ask for the information in the first place.

This is what campers 185 has to say about his trip and more here.

Glad to say I will be traveling much lighter than he was.

He was carrying 28kg, my ruc-sac will weigh no more than 12kg

we are not taking any cooking stuff, intending to eat at the refuges, and just carry a few days spare food for emergency’s.

We cannot make our minds up about taking the tent , after reading this Geoff will probably decide not to take it.

Must say that bridge looks well scary…..

16 days and counting…. 🙂

Mother and son bonding….

My youngest son is away visiting his Dad, went for a few days but has not come home yet so must be having a good time!!!

So the house is quiet, peaceful and I am not really sure what to do with myself.

My eldest son had a great idea.

While he was out shopping he saw something he thought I would just love.

Apparently I watched an episode of Prison Break with him a long time ago and really enjoyed it.

So he got the whole first series on DVD and we have to watch them together. That’s a whole 22 episodes.

Now for someone who never watches TV , falls asleep at the cinema, this could prove to be a hard task.

3 episodes down 19 to go !!!

Sad news from Corsica…

Had two e-mails today, regarding my trip to Corsica.

One from Marek who has the Corsica a for hikers web site.

The other from Judy Armstrong , nice to think she had time to mail me while on her alpine challenge trip

Nice to know people are thinking about me too  🙂

Sad to hear that 3 people have been killed in Corsica, two on the mountains the third by the sea.

So glad that we are not going for another 18 days, as at one point we did think about going at the beginning of June.

Lets hope the weather has improved by the 15th of June.
