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!
Well my plans were blown away today as it’s been a very blustery here.
Pretty sure Buddy was trying to convince me that the wind blew the wheelbarrow and tools over.
Pity I saw him knock them all over. He gave me a much needed laugh today. He’s such a curious little boy. Likes to check everything out.
The geese were circling the yard again today. They are so loud. Always makes me wonder if they’re having the same conversations as we do when we go on holiday?! You know the ones – ‘did you look the back door?’, ’have you got the passport?’, ‘are we there yet?!’ That sort of thing. Yes I have an active imagination.
I’ve been thinking about migration a lot today. And warmer climes. My wonderful niece Katie headed off to New Zealand today for an adventure. I’m so proud of the woman she’s grown into. She definitely inherited the Langley wanderlust gene. I’m getting twitchy. Definitely need to plan some more adventures.
Pleased to report that the vitamins and drugs are working. Feeling so much better today. Think the blustery day helped to blow the snot away!!
I can totally understand why birds migrate!!
Today has been sponsored by the letter C. As in Vitamin. I’m not at my best. Last night my throat started to feel scratchy. As I was feeling grotty, I headed to bed early.
Woke up with full on snot and sore throat. Taken paracetamol and lots vitamin C. Lots and lots of vitamin C!
Wonder if it was cause I got drenched and cold yesterday. I didn’t warm up for ages afterwards. Even after a hot shower.
Or it could have been an allergic reaction to something as it happened so fast. Whatever it is, it needs to do one. Being ill is such a waste of time….
Today I found out that my waterproof coat isn’t as waterproof as I thought. But then it was having to deal with a LOT of rain!!
I thought my faithful waterproof trousers had let me down too as my jeans were wet underneath. Till I realised that they were wicking away the water from my base layer and fleece. Damn you science!
At least my feet were dry. My muck boots have a spilt in them. Thankfully I noticed so put different boots on.
Think it might be time to invest in a new waterproof coat….
I’ve been asked to cover the next few Monday’s at the Chiro’s. It was a rather busy day with lots of changes to deal with. But got to have lots of good chats.
The main topic of conversation was the weather. Well we are British. It was a very lazy wind today. With some bite to it. So different from the mild days we’ve been having.
The other topic of conversation was at what point do you stop asking people about their Christmas. And saying Happy New Year! The jury is very much out on those. Lots of views given.
Spotted this little flower when I was opening up this morning. No idea what it is. But it was a very pretty way to start the day.
Great to be back at Carrow Road today for the FA Cup match against Blackburn.
New manager, same disappointing result. I guess he may need more than one training session to sort them out. 20 corners and not a sniff of a goal. Of well, at least I got to have a pie, hot chocolate and Twix brownie. There have to be some upsides.
And we stayed dry when the heaven’s opened. What’s the old adage? We can now focus on the league…
Buddy and I headed out for a wind assisted hack this morning. It was a tad blustery! Met up with Lottie and Mick again.
Buddy was rather happy to find some haylage while we were waiting. Then he and Mick had a ‘Lady and the Tramp’ moment with it. It was super cute. Buddy looks like a giant next to him.
On the way back, the heaven’s opened. Made me think of the film ’Singing in the Rain’ as Buddy splashed through the puddles.
As luck would have it, it was on the TV this afternoon. So I sang along with it while I pottered around the house. It’s such a wonderful film. I do love a bit of Gene Kelly. It was a very different age. So glamorous. Perhaps we should all randomly burst into song…
Well well I started this blog 3 years ago! It may not had be been the success that I’d hoped for. But I’ve enjoyed it nonetheless. I keep blogging even if no-one reads it.
I started it as a way to chart my progress after breaking my talus. But it’s become a bit of a diary now. I enjoy looking back at the momories and seeing how things have gone.
Thank you to everyone who’s been along for the journey.
I was clearing out the photos on my phone and found this. It made me smile. It’s so easy to look at our flaws. Harder to look at all of the wonderful things that we do. And how amazing we really are.
It made me reflect on the things that I do for others and myself. I’m very proud of the way I live my life.
I’ve been hard on myself recently as I’ve felt really tired, drained and not my normal sparkling self. Asked the Chiro to check me today when I was working there. Apparently when I face planted, I compressed my jugular. So that would explain why I’ve been a bit off. Not enough blood to my brain!
After the adjustment, I felt like she’d turned the lights on. I was bouncing. Full Tigger-mode! The body is amazing, it really is! And so are you!
OK so today was rather weird. I went for a hack in a fleece. It’s January, right?! It was so mild today I was too hot in my coat. And that wasn’t even my winter coat.
It was very grey and murky out today. There were so many geese out there too. God they’re loud!! Buddy and the geese had a bit of a stare-off. Eventually he caved and spooked as they flew off. Which then caused more of the geese to fly away. Then they got even louder!!
The honking made me laugh.
