Tired

You may have gathered from the blogs I have been doing a lot lately, but this week I think it has caught up with me. So I am trying to slow down.  So today I just dog  walked with Emma and had my hair cut. I do love going to the Salon and Natalie does wonders with my hair, it is such a treat. Mum is good at taking me places, really missing not driving.
I also went to Cromwell quarry  to watch John swim. I am still not allowed to go into open water  as risk of infection,  so Bertie and I went for a walk there...

Did not want to swim but did !!!

Well, I did not want to do a long swim, sore shoulder and tired. But John took me and I did swim and I did enjoy the later part of the  swim, I am no sprinter and swim better after I have been in the water for a bit.
Today I also feet anti - social so after swimming I was determined to be on my own all day, but I did text Heather to go for a walk, which was great.

PS  the grumpy old man at swimming( His words) says my grammar and spelling is hit and miss. We  laughed and I said I knew it was bad and I used to get John to check it, but stopped as people will get to know who I am with it as it is . Oh and the man at swimming is very nice !!

Fitness training

Well today I have admitted I am doing too much.  So I did not walk with the girls but managed to get in a last minute sports massage, back a little sore at the moment, old problems rearing it head, when I was not doing a lot it was ok, but more swimming etc, I  need help.
Forgot to say did do a bike ride with Richard, with a subway  roll in the middle. I think we cycled about 8 miles. good fun , but that did not help the back, but so what !!

Sophie is 21

A very busy few days.
Friday we went into town and went for a meal, then a walk along the water front. A lovely evening with my grown up children.
Saturday we had a Pamper afternoon with afternoon tea with the girls. The food was planned by Sally, it was great , then Sally  had also booked a beautician and we  had either a massage, pedicure or manicure, she was excellent.
In the evening we has family and friends for  a BBQ with Jack and Sam doing games, which included giant space hopper races . Brilliant fun with fantastic company.
Now it is Sunday and I have been clearing up all morning and might go sailing  later if not to windy.

Poole

Today we drove to Poole for a practice swim with Chris,  it was great, I felt alive, so looking forward to the main swim
. We also met John's brother and his wife Annette, a great lunch out , it was good to see them too as they live in Sweden, plenty of catching up !. 

Sophie college celebration

Yesterday John, mum and I went to watch Sophie collect her certificate  at City Hall. The mayor of Bristol presented them, it was great, drinks and cake. We are so proud of her. the course she has been on allows adults with extra needs go into the work place ,they  support them and help them find a job. They do a brilliant job..Sophie started an apprentice doing office work a month ago and she is enjoying going to work every day.

A Party

Last night I  threw a party for family and close friends, also friends I had not seen in years.
It was great, the friends I had not seen in a long time  have not changed. It was also a bit of a fun raiser  and we are still checking figures as many people have made donations!. it was a great night and I really enjoyed  my self. 

Today we took our visitors to the sailing club, they went out with Mo and Shaun on the cruiser.
John also took some people out, it was great and because Julie was doing pasta bake we ended up eating there too. Great day out.

Also I want to say well done to Helen from the sports centre who ran 100k for Macmillan.
It is such an amazing thing to and the training must have been hard.
