First of all, here’s a video I promised days ago of us at the races! Watch to the end for Adam’s sage comment!
Secondly… I received new shoes before Christmas, and had basically no time to ‘break them in’ before the trip. They are amazing shoes – supremely comfortable – but due to their newness I developed blisters. One of these was a large blood blister – quite nasty – and as I was walking through garden city mall today it burst!
My thong (flip-flop) was full of blood, and enough ran down the back that I left a half-bloody footprint in my wake. It was revolting, but I bought some antiseptic and cleaned everything up when I got home and now it’s fine. I took a photo to blog but it’s too awful to post!
Here’s Hamilton racecourse, on a very sunny day.
