Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
Good news! My Dad is well enough to come home. Sadly it’s not that simple as we’re navigating the discharge process. So he’s got to stay in for another night.
At least he’s looking much brighter and was in good spirits when I saw him tonight.
I spotted this game today. Boy did it take me back. We used to have regular games nights when I was growing up. This was a family favourite. I remember it being introduced to my nieces too.
Mahjong was one of my favourites though. Not sure what happened to that. Or if I could remember the rules now.
Dad is definitely on the mend. Hopefully that he’ll be home tomorrow so he can continue to recover here.
Mum and I have a footie day. I got to watch both of my teams. Brighton and Norwich. Wish I could say this quote was true as my teams went down. Badly. 1-11 in total. 0-7 to Norwich and 1-4 to Brighton.
At least Dad seemed brighter today. Still no news on when he will come out. Hopefully Monday. Keep the healing vibes and prayers coming…
There are some advantages to having the same shoe size as your Mother. I forgot my slippers but found an old pair in the shoe cupboard. Not my style. Rather comfy though.
Was allowed to see Dad today. He looked rather poorly still. Looks like he’s staying in hospital till Monday. So booked in to go and see him again tomorrow.
Thank you for all of the messages and well wishes. It really means so much.
Finally got to see Dippy today. Love the juxtaposition of him being in Norwich Cathedral. Very cool. A great exhibition too. It was my first time inside the cathedral too. Wow! I had no idea it was stunning.
It seems like a long time ago though as I got back to find that my Dad has been rushed into hospital. Again. So I packed a bag and drove down to look after my Mum. Again.
All prayers and healing vibes gratefully received. Again.
I’m currently sporting another corker of a bruise thanks to horses. And this one was so innocuous too. Buddy nudged me on Sunday as we were waiting between classes. He sent me flying, right into a wooden fence post. I banged my elbow but thought nothing of it.
Unfortunately my arm has other ideas and is rather black and blue. Good job I’ve got lots of arnica!
When you’re walking to the tube and you walk past the Natural History Museum. How stunning does it look?!
Brilliant day in London. Got to flex my creative comms muscles and add value to a new project. Can’t give anything away yet. But exciting times ahead! 👏🏻
These beauties have bloomed again. I’m not complaining as they’re so pretty. But it’s October, right?!
Today we headed to Easton College for Carlton Riding Club’s Pink Show for Big C. For lots of reasons, we haven’t been out competing recently and it showed. We were a bit rusty.
Still we successfully competed in 70cm (with 12 faults) and 80cm (with 8 faults). No placings today but lots to be pleased with.
I know the faults came from poor lines on my part. Definitely something to work on. Guess we’ll just have to get out more over the winter.
I’ve ventured to deepest darkest Diss tonight to watch Alfie Moore at the Corn Hall. Bring on the giggling…
