Today was a busy day.
There are 4 people staying in the other part of this house, so it is a busy place.
Maddie and I went to a Farm Market this morning. We walked lots on very uneven ground. There were hundreds of people there and 99% of them would not look at me, or else they would smile in a sheepish manner.
A boy walked up to me and asked what happened to my leg. I started explaining about it, and he invited me over to his parents stall. They were selling hippy jewelry. His parents quickly said he had a super curiosity about everything.
I explained about the leg, and he asked if I could take it off. He brought a stool over and I took off the leg. Now there were maybe 10 people watching. I showed them all how it worked, and they played with it. The kid wanted his picture taken holding a leg. I then put it back on. Everybody asked about the cancer, and we had a good talk.
Maddie bought us some Jalepeno poppers for way too much money, then we had some coffee.
Maddie's one grand daughter was supposed to arrive today, but will only be here tomorrow. So Maddie and I quickly went to the forest section of the parkrun course to see if I would be able to do that section.
It was very steep, muddy, slippery, and had lots of large roots crossing the pathway. VERY difficult for me. As expected, the down slope was much worse than the up slope.
If I try that section again, I will take my crutches along. We both were sweaty and muddy by the time we got back to the car.
On the way home we decided to get take away food, so Maddie didn't have to cook. Almost everything was closed, so we went to a Dros (fancy restaurant) to see if they did take aways. They didn't so we had to go in to eat. They stuck us off in a secluded corner. Probably because we stank, or maybe because we were muddy, or maybe because my leg would scare customers or maybe they thought we were homeless. We had very expensive hamburgers. (The cheapest thing on the menu.)
We also had a large draft beer each, which left us in a giggly mood, which only re-enforced the managements thoughtful precaution of secluding us.

We watched Kill Bill Vol 1. before bed. I like women with guns (or swords).
