G is for gladiator

I don’t know why sword fighters interest me so much but they have for years.  I’m a huge fan of King Arthur and have almost every book written about him.  Knights were so courageous and chivalrous.  I can’t help myself when it comes to that era.  I would never want to live in medieval times, but I love reading about them.  Life was never dull for a knight.  They lived dangerously and were lucky to survive many battles without being wounded or killed.  I think times back then were pretty lawless with crazy people taking things into their own hands.  But throughout history and into present day, people have always been that way to a point.  Look at the Wild West with all the outlaws.  And people today that place bombs in busy places to maim or kill a lot of unsuspecting people, or go to workplaces and schools and start shooting.

I’m sure most of the medieval battles were over land, or as revenge, but I wonder how many people were just downright crazy back then and no one thought about mental illness.

 My new gladiator sandals

 

Anyway, I’ve always wanted a pair of gladiator sandals, so I finally bought some.  I’ve had a lot of issues with athlete’s foot lately because I have to wear socks and sneakers to work and I work a lot.  My feet like to be out and to breathe, so I always wear flip-flops, or go barefoot in the summer.  Due to my home remedies trying to get rid of my athlete’s foot, I caused a giant blister on my big toe, so I can’t wear flip-flops for a while.  That prompted me to go out and get the gladiator sandals.  I think I’ll be wearing them a lot this year.
