I promised Alby Mangroves (I don't think this is her real name) from Life in General that I would post yesterday, specifically about my hand knited scarves. I lied. But in my defence, at the time of making the promise I intended to, stuff just happened to prevent me. My right leg happened.
Well, without boring you with all the details, I have a foot condition called plantar fasciitis (look it up if you don't believe me), which is actually rather common, but not always diagnosed, and at times, causes me problems. Foot pain and it affects my gait, so at times I walk funny (apparently) and have pain in my legs or hips. Don't laugh, it's not nice to make fun of the disabled.
Anyway, on Monday afternoon whilst walking to the train station after work, my right knee started hurting and continued all night, to the point where I had to take 2 panadeine forte to stop the pain and be able to sleep. Luckily I had one of my regular massages booked for Tuesday (remedial, I WISH it was relaxation) as the pain had spread to my calf and shin, and she worked on it. It hurt like a bitch though and I spent most of the day with my leg up and very cranky. In no mood to blog. I am at work today and whilst it is a bit better, I have been limping around and look and feel stupid.
SOOOO - back to the blog. Nothing about my scarves today alas, but I did rather fancy doing my own flickr mosiac, as recommended by the lovely Alby, so here it is. (Yes, I did it in my lunch time, so am not wasting time or God forbid, blogging in work time!)
I followed the rules as I know them -
Oh, I like it! Especially Hugh.. sigh :) My name is Magda, but I started the blog with a name to honour my cat Alby Magroves, who died on Valentines Day. We were friends for 16 years, and before that she had a life with her previous owner. At the time of her death, she was 24 years old.. I loved her, and that's my way of tipping my hat to my friend :)

Oh, and I'm sorry about your foot!! Hope you feel better soon x

That is lovely! 24 years is a remarkable age for a cat and I am so pleased to meet a fellow cat person. Pleasure to meet you Magda - I thought from your photo it was maybe some variation of Mary.
Glad you like Hugh too - was yours Angelina? She looked like she was pretending to be Audrey Hepburn. I then saw your friend's mosiac and she had Julia Gillard, so was starting to wonder if it was meant to be a girl crush, in which case I would have put Myf Warhurst or Cate Blanchett.

Thanks re foot. It's a bit better today and my leg is only hurting a bit. I actually had a man offer me his seat on the train on the way home last night - which NEVER happens - so I must have looked bad.

You will get more from a session on an elliptical trainer, than from equal time on a treadmill for example.
