Getting the balance right

It was @savingholmes I'm not an adventurous kayaker to be honest, for me it's all about relaxing, we kayaked most of the loch, stopping often to watch the wild life and to just be, the scenery was spectacular, 

then of for a wee swim ... well when I saw swim I mean do, Mr El loves to just float about in the water using my float so I'm deff getting him one . 

Just what the Dr ordered tbh

Ooh, lovely adventures today! Good to be thinking about retiring too 😊😊

oh @Cheery_Daff that's one of the  things I think and plan about the most tbh, it's like a tunnel where I can see a tiny speck of light at the end, I'm moving towards it, just trying not to wish my life away in the meantime

I budgeted for £40  a day for this break, we have brought most of our food with us, we intended on eating out twice, once so far weve had a chinese takeaway, weve had a bag of chips to go with the macaroni and cheese brought from home and we intend on eating out one more night. 

So far the spend has averaged £30 a day which is £10 better than planned so that's good, however, today we need to buy some more food ( breakfast stuff etc) so I think we will spend a bit more than the £40 budgeted for. 

Last night the pump for the water went, Mr El has fixed it but I think its temporary so we need to order a new one, comes to £60 if we have any money left over at the end of the break we will order it and get a replacement if not might leave it till next year. 

Todays plan is a walk, we havnt decided yet where we are going I dont think were up to a big hill walk just now, Mr El has a sore knee again and I dont want to push my lungs too hard ( but I want to push them) 

Hope everyones day goes well xxx
