So 4-5 weeks ago a poster mentioned standing eye height to a pair of ugly feet on an escalator.  

 

It made me look honestly at my feet after a day in the garden without proper shoes.  Grotesque.  Cracked, calloused.

 

A footbath with all it's accompaniments was in my possession in a short space of time.  (Unfortunately, an attendant didn't come with it.)

 

As Madge once said "you're soaking in it" it wasn't Trix(?) but probably Bi-carb/washing soda.  But I was soaking and enjoying the bubbles and softening effect.

 

Then I had to manoeuvre my wonky knees, bad back and distended stomach to reach the feet to enable the salves/creams to be applied.  All good.

 

A GRATER was provided to remove the "dead tissue". It came with its own "collection point".  Very handy.

 

Where was I to deposit this waste?  

 

Have I told you I had a stagnant non-growing, but not dead, Zygote Cactus in a pot just outside the door of my podiatry salon?  

 

Yep,  just sprinkled the stuff onto the soil of said plant 2-3 times a week since.

 

And now, the plant is thriving!!!

 

Proving I can find a use for almost anything!!

Ha Ha Ha.  

 

Just went out to count.  16 new nodes.

 

 On it's way to giving me a good display of flowers in the future, I hope.

Thanks everyone, great to start off the day with a good giggle. I will never look at a cactus in the same way again, will always be wondering. Is part of Deb in there.
