New wellies

 

These are my new Wellington boots! My last pair were just generic green ones from B&Q a few years old. I got a hole in the sole that let water in. Not a great feature in a welly. I'm excited with my new footwear for two very important reasons. No. 1 - they match my dressing gown perfectly. This may confuse some of you but others will understand. Sometimes when I take Libby out for her morning stroll I just pop out in my dressing gown. All my neighbours are used to me, luckily I don't have many of them and no passing traffic. I think that the fact my wellies go so well just heightens the look! If it's very cold I don a hi-vis coat over the whole ensemble. I'm nothing if not considerate. They see me coming a mile off. 

Reason No. 2 - I do also wear my wellies whilst wearing clothing. But when you've got your jeans on, and socks, then welly socks the whole thing gets a bit tight. Obviously my calves (like my bum) are larger than the average so there's not much room. My new wellies are especially bigger in the calf area! They are fabulous. And so comfy! Heaven in a welly. 

This week I've been poorly with a nasty cold. Not COVID mind you. I reckon 90% of the people I know have had COVID (lots just recently too) but not me! I think I have a super power of being immune to it. But apparently I can catch a cold. I felt very sorry for myself for a few days. And then, of course, followed the sinus pain and nose bleeds. I'm nothing if not consistent. I'm also kind. Passing it on to my husband and daughter (bless, she was only here one day). Nasty bugs!

If you want to measure the height of a mountain the hardest part isn't finding the peak, but figuring out where the bottom starts.
