A walk in the woods

Had a far better night last night and woke feeling so much better.

We had a lazy morning. Well I did, I made us breakfast in bed then a little potter round in the kitchen whilst husband put in a few hours work.

We walked the boys early afternoon - I realised how much I am very nervous and unsteady on my feet in uneven ground - back quite uncomfortable by the time we got back but VERY happy with progress today. Although slightly stunned at husbands lack of skill with a retractable dog lead - no wonder sweep was panting so much - he was actually being strangled.

Have cancelled attending my riding for disabled group on Monday as I know I would be a prat to think I could catch a falling child or hold a bolting horse - none of this would or does happen in classes but it would be just so typical.

They are finding my predicament - actually not my predicament but my email informing about it highly amusing and are also stunned that the broom that had appeared up my backside when rushing to get the house ready for Christmas/family visitors had not kept me upright when bending to get the dropped sock - the culprit of my bad back.

I LOVE going to class - the children are totally awesome and all the helpers like VERY naughty big sisters...it would be irresponsible of me to go when not fit. It's very tricky walking on The shredded tyre surface in the indoor school at the best of times. (I am saying all this to cheer me up as I am mortified I am not going to be well enough to go).

Wow. Maybe at last I am learning to take health advice and not rush things too soon...slowly slowly catchy monkey... I WILL BE AT NEXT CLASS WITH MY NAUGHTY CREW.

Husband disappeared for a few hours to see clients late afternoon. I love that on his day off he spent 6 hours working. But I guess to a workaholic that does class as a half day and therefore a holiday.

Managed to stay up to cook tea and eat with husband but had to come to bed at 7. Gutted as we'd like to watch location location together if just for my running commentary on Kirsty's outfits.

Still a very successful day back soooo much better and I loved our walk. Onwards and upwards
