Magic balm

Last night I was suddenly affected by small cracks in my heels – they can be surprisingly painful. It was cold, but I knew I’d have to get up and put heel balm on them. Without putting the light on, I got out of bed and got the ointment from the bathroom. I got back into bed, loosened the blankets around my feet and applied the balm. The relief was great and I soon dropped off again. It wasn’t until morning that I found I’d actually used sunscreen!
