Thank you, it's much better now - there were times I could hardly feel it (in a good way!). Only really sore and stiff when going down stairs.
I think I've got everything. Anything I haven'y got now, I'll have to improvise. It all took about twice as long as I expected - not that everywhere was crowded, it wasn't, it's just I didn't find anything just where I expected to so have to traipse from shop to shop.
I also got an unexpected pair of shoes (chunky trainer type) in the
Millets sale - my old ones were just starting to let in water through the soles.
Right. Clear the decks, find the sticky tape, sharpen the scissors. I'm wrapping!
