    Angelicmary popped on the PaD thread the other day and said she'd been having a difficult time, but still reads the threads every now and then. Such a shame she's not still posting. So....

    ....Green, if you're 'watching' - hope things are improving. Thinking of you x
    One step at a time ;)

    I keep an eye on Angelic on FB but it is sad when people stop posting hopefully they will come back when ready.

    Had a good yesterday enjoyed the F1 pity Lewis couldn't win and my football team won 2-0 sorry Shaun although it was defintely a game of two halves could have fallen asleep during the first half absolutely dire :( second half was good.

    About to clear the decks and tackle some of the paperwork mountain please send the mountain rescue team if I am not back by lunchtime :eek:

    Well my mountain is more of a range so today I have separated them into separate mountains and I have tackled the smallest one (although definitely a mountain not a hill:eek:) which is very nearly conquered but I kept making mistakes trying to rush to finish it before the school run so I am having a break but I only have the final ascent to do and I am determined to put a flag on the summit tonight and I must admit the view from the top is pretty damned good one nearly done a lot more to go but the Himalayas are going to be mine :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I live near to Snowdon but I am afraid 3 peaks is not enough I have more mountains than that :o

    I have given up just short of the summit night has fallen, energy levels are low, weather is bad it wouldn't be safe to continue :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: so all rescue crews can stand down for now thank you

    You're a generous woman! Rescue teams are on standby for me, again, this time with lifejackets, as I'm approaching the coast. Hope your mountaineering goes well
