I did the fastest pedi this morning so that I could take my happy toes out for a hobble in the warm spring air. I would’ve gone for a proper pedicure but, although it’s nice, warm and sunny for the next few days, we dip down to mid-teens again after that. But it sure felt good to wear sandals again. Next up… azahar!

DO NOT ZOOM IN. It was 28º yesterday and there was no fucking way I was going to put tights and shoes on, but there was also no fucking way I was going to go out without happy toes! So this was the fastest slap-dash pedi of all time, literally slapped on some polish five minutes before walking out the door, hence the messy outcome. But who cares, nobody should be looking that closely at my feet anyhow. And omg it felt wonderful to have free wiggly toes again and bare legs under my skirt (pic was taken when I was still in the house Pjs). How’s the weather where you are?

Wow, first Official Sandal Weather day keeps breaking records. Last year it was on February 28th, and previously the earliest date on Casa Az record was March 9th 2015. Ah well, the planet may be dying, but my toes are happy. Realised today that I need new sandals this year, and a proper pedi, but for now this will do. 🙂

Happy Andalucía Day!
It’s also the first day wearing sandals this year, and a record-breaker. Previously the earliest day recorded was on March 9, 2015. In fact, it’s been warm enough for sandals (at least during the day) since last weekend, but I only now got around to doing a quick pedi. My toes already feel happier. 🙂

So it was almost two months ago that I talked about getting a professional pedicure, but then I bought the foot sander gizmo and thought that would be good enough. Also, I wasn’t sure where to go. Then yesterday evening I was out for a walk and remembered that when Elaine was here last year she mentioned having had a wonderful pedi at El Corte Inglés. So I headed over there and as luck would have it, there was one spare appointment open. And it was great.
Gotta admit that with the foot sander I am taking better care of my heels, but cuticles, etc were still a mess. Not a problem! They use an eensy little sander on those (and it didn’t hurt a bit Ann!). The best part was the massage before putting on about a centimetre thick whack of nail stuff. She even painted on fake toenails on my baby toes (which basically have no nails) which I thought was a nice touch. I could see myself getting a bit addicted to pedis, but they’re a bit expensive, so I might wait and have just one more late summer, since I wear sandals until the end of October here. Also… new sandals!
