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!
What a difference a day makes! After the snow yesterday, today we saw the sun.
And today also saw the return of normalish energy levels for me. Hoping I’ve turned a corner in my recovery. Won’t be going mad as I don’t want to put myself back again. But feeling more and more like me again.
Well I wasn’t expecting that! Yes it was forecasted, but they don’t always get it right.
The cats didn’t want to go out. And I was with them. To be honest, I wasn’t sure my little car would make it out of the close. And it definitely wouldn’t get back up again. It’s times like this I miss having a 4×4.
So I watched Frozen and Frozen 2. Well it seemed appropriate. 😂
Safe to say the kittens aren’t impressed with the snow. 😂
My boys are loving the fact I’m resting so much. They really are. The minute I sit down one of them is on me. Not complaining as they’re keeping me warm. And stopping me from doing too much.
Well it’s been a pretty grim day weather-wise. But I’m lucky to have a Dodo-shaped hot water bottle. He was very happy to keep me warm while I caught up on some admin.
Nero was asleep at my feet. Hugo, however, wasn’t to be parted from my dressage saddle (which is now back in vogue).
I’ve just noticed that I’ve been writing this blog for a year now. I missed the actual anniversary but there you go. I started the blog to chart my progress back to the saddle after breaking my ankle. I didn’t factor on a global pandemic though. Well who would, right?!
There have been a lot of twists and turns in the past year. Highs and lows. Laughs and tears. I think I’ve cried more in the last year than I have in any other. 2020 was challenging in so many ways for me.
This blog has given me an outlet for my musings and feelings. I hope you’re enjoying it so far. None of us know what the future holds, so for now I’m just trying to do my best.
Thanks for taking the time to read my posts.
After my culinary success yesterday making ratatouille, today I watched the movie. It’s so much fun.
Love this quote. It seems quite apt right now. More twists and turns.
Today I also had a chat with a journalist about my Covid experience. And got sent a some very useful information about recovering from it too.
I’ve been struggling with my lack of appetite so trying to find things that I want to eat. Tonight I made a sort of ratatouille. And bloody yummy it was too.
I also got a cake delivery today. So I’m doing my best to get my calories in.
Felt better after my rest day yesterday. Took Buddy out for a hack round the block. I’m learning that I have to take it easy right now. Wish me luck?!
Think I overdid it this weekend. Woke up feeling a bit pants again. So I did the right thing and had a rest day. Lots of naps, a long meditation and tons of cat cuddles.
My appetite hasn’t fully come back so I’ve been struggling with eating enough. I bought some sausage roll crisps at Christmas but never got round to eating them. Spotted this small print. Made me laugh.
Honestly, you’d think I didn’t groom my horse! Not a clue how he manages to get it behind his ears.
But I didn’t care a bit today as we went out for our first hack of 2021. Not far but it felt good.
