I can’t stand advertising but…

turkey-head

...ol’ turkey-face had me transfixed for a few moments, enough to put this post up. He slides onto the orange background, gazes into cyberspace for a few moments then disappears off the stage whilst the message flashes. And that’s okay. At least the hippy who created this ad had the good sense to try make his viewers laugh and for the most part has probably succeeded. It’s off this page, headlined ‘Malema guilty as charged’.my-left-foot The hell with insurance.

Anyway from turkey heads and hands to feet. Check out my left foot (no it’s not gout thank heavens) those are stretched and/or partially-torn anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments from tripping on a step in the dark because I misjudged distance two weeks ago (although I was on the way to the alehouse at the time and did have an all-nighter thereafter - on the hobble) but yeah, I was worried that it might have been compounded by uric acid build-up and have even done the sodium bicarb thing to make double-sure but the good old twice-daily ice-pack seems to be helping the healing along. And lots of sweet-talkin’ tender loving care with Germolene ointment massages. Raise the foot six-to-ten inches above the heart level with a wrapped icepack and that does wonders, twice a day at least for twenty minutes each time. It was worse two days ago, like a club foot. Oh, and bugger the overgrown toenails!
