The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb.

and it is Wednesday. Washing is on, I cleaned out the piggies yesterday, I do love them, one of them (my favourite but don't tell anyone) comes up for a chin scratch most mornings and just sits there quite happily for ages. let two very happy dogs out who could tell i wasn't going anywhere. Not been out to the rabbits yet. 

Last year I did a sponsored walk thing in August, had to get 10,000 steps every day, it was hard work to do it but I felt really good afterwards, that plus the minimum 30 minutes walking every day I felt better. One friend told me I seemed lighter and fitter from it. I kept it up till I got covid at the end of November. I didn't really feel better till about April so i never started again. I put on 5 pounds since then but I have so far(each year) I lose that in the first term of work due to stress, I have been within the same weight for about 10 years now, but I know I don't feel as good as I used to last year with the walking. I have woken up this morning with a terrible back ache from the drive yesterday and generally being tense all the time I was out. I don't know what this is leading to, I wish I could enjoy exercise but I just don't! The walking was always such a pain to fit into the day. Last year I did an average of 41 active minutes each day, now it is 21 minutes. Walking definitely helps. I must find a way. 

I am watching BBC news and it is awful, as in the presenters - just had to say that. Although the Geordie Shores woman was good. I thought she was interesting. Mikel Arteta documentary looks good. But I do love him so might be biased! 

Right break over, on with washing and one shed today. dreading the spider situation. Big gloves and a broom!

Pleased the funeral went as well as it could for you. It would be nice for you to keep in touch with your cousin if you can

Totally wasted day. Mum is obviously deeply unhappy and in pain, I went outside to the shed and promptly found a spider on the first thing I moved. In the end I just stood there and thought why? WHY Am I DOING THIS?  Freaking myself out. Hot sweaty. Annoyed. Meant to be on holiday. 

So I came in. Basically just went back to bed which left mum without lunch cos I didn't wake up till 3.30.  It is ok tho she had a cup of tea and some biscuits( - we need to go food shopping) so didn't want anything and chatted to my sister for almost 3 hours. I got to eat one of my favourite lunches. 

I think yesterday took it out of me. I am so glad it is over.

Glad the funeral is over. There seem to be a lot of spiders about spinning webs everywhere. I even found one in my hair 😱 Mind you anything could get lost in my bird’s nest 😆

I’ve noticed that too Sun. There just seems to be so many more around and I’m not sure why!

It’s usually autumn when you start noticing them, seems too early!

a sign of the apocalypse am sure! 

Just ate a nice dinner. Made extra vegetables. Small steps to health. 

Moneywise I still need to get petrol.

Today was.....a good day. 

I wasn't well this morning and nearly cancelled my plans but I didn't! I went and got bread and a did my final big river return - they are really so good. My refunds have paid for the new bras I am experimenting with so that is good. 

I had lunch out with work people and it was lovely. A proper laugh. Then I came home, cut the grass but the lawn mower caught fire  so yeah....... I had a nap! 

dinner was super easy jacket potato which has given me heart burn but have done all my jobs and going to find some chocolate.

Eeek to the lawnmower!!
Pass the chocolate
