Thanks for the info @2jays and others xx
Think I’ll just have to bite the bullet and get my feet measured. I’ve gone up from 36 to 37 but my shoes are still tight. Think I need to know width
Will have to do something, it’s gettind out of hand.
Thanks again

I bought my first few pairs (!) of fit flops in a local shop, and once I knew my size, I order them from the internet at the end of each season, so I never pay full price. They tilt the foot slightly back, so take weight from the front...where my neuroma is. Even my slippers and boots are fit flops!
Sylvia, as I live on Brazil, I am used to days like these. I prefer a wet towel around me and my hair wet for sleep when temperature is 30C or more. I am used to do several showers a day when it is more than 35C (just water no soap).
Take care
Ana, so nice to see you again! Hope things are OK for you?
I’ve got awful feet as well. Hotters widest are the only things that fit. Though this weather I spend a lot of time bare footed. Though not on the shingle drive! When I was a kid I could manage the shingle though, rubber flip flops in those days - I lived by the sea and summer job was on the nearest beach!
Unfortunately, I’ve been through Ecco, Steibel, cosyfeet and more, and none fit any more. I have very wide feet, there’s the problem!

Thought I would pass on a tip about the heat - no doubt I’m teaching someone to suck eggs....
Freeze 2 bottles of water.
Tip : don’t fill the bottles full, max 3/4 full
When one bottle of water is frozen
Place I front of an electric fan and switch on fan
Sit in the cooling breeze.
When water in bottle has melted, exchange bottle from with the one in freezer
continue to sit in breeze

Sylvia you must book that Northumberland holiday. It’s stunning up there & so much to do. We’ve had a great week.

I love that coast too. It's nearly as nice as Scotland!
(Izzy - last seen ducking then running for cover!).
Maybe next year @Cat27 There were no single rooms available for this one and I won't share.
I'm glad you had such a good time and I know I will get there eventually.
Last night was the first night I slept without a fan in the bedroom and this morning is the first day I've been able to do the daily Yoga and Tai Chi movements because it`s so much cooler.
To complete the reprieve I intended a leisurely coastal walk but it`s raining.

That's good news Sylvia. I still had the fan on last night but then I use it in the winter as well! It was 9C when I woke up today and actually fell quite chilly!
