Out of time

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I woke up this morning feeling rather low on energy. I haven’t been sleeping the best – just a few things on my mind. Last night was so humid, it really didn’t help.

As it was forecast to be a hot one, after doing everything I needed to, Bert and I retired to the sofa for some down time. I would say chilled time, but it was a tad warm. My little fans were overheating they were working so hard.

After watching some gymnastics from the Commonwealth, I remembered that a new series on Pompeii had been released. So I thought I’d watch it. Oh my goodness it was good. Fanciful, but it gave me goosebumps. Though that could have been the fan…

I had no idea Tom Hiddleston spoke Latin or studied the classics at University. He shares my fascination for Pompeii. Watching it brought back so many memories from my visit there. In some ways it feels like a long time ago, but it was only January.

I ended up watching all three episodes. It’s a different take on the events. It reminds you of the human tragedy but also the fact so many people escaped. That it’s not just a story. It’s history.

I’m not sure if I’m feeling the benefit of taking time out today. But at least I’m not out of time like so many in Pompeii.

So 2020 was going to be my year. The year I got my life sorted after being served redundancy notice from my job in November 2019. The year I ticked off more things from my horsey bucket list. The year I got my mental health back under control and reduced stress in my life. I had a plan. And it was a good one. Then the plan changed dramatically on 2 January. I came off my horse at speed and broke my ankle. Badly. Like all good equestrians, I got back on and rode back to the yard, sorted Buddy out and then drove myself to A&E. That’s where this journey really began... I was sent home from A&E and told to crack on, only to receive a phone call later to say they’d missed a fracture (and a rather serious one at that). Whoops! So fracture clinic on 3 January, surgery on 5 January and home to recover. I started this blog as a way to chart my recover back to the saddle. As I cleared clinics and competitions out of my diary and wondered what the next few months would bring, it's been a safe space for me to say how I'm feeling. The new plan was to get a new job, to keep Buddy is kept ticking over and recover from my injury. Another good plan! I didn't expect a global pandemic, lockdown and all that happened in 2020. This blog has changed over time but it's continued to be my safe space to share the things going on in my life, with Buddy and the cats. Enjoy!
