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!
I decided to have a garden day today. Mowed my back lawn for the first time in 2022. And tidied up the borders. Still lots to do, but I’ve made a start.
Want to crack on with the front lawn and borders next weekend.
The brown bin was creaking. I find gardening really rewarding. It’s hard work sure. But the results are worth it. The bad news is that I’ve cleared a lot, so will need more plants. 🤪
Lovely touch today at Carrow Road. Probably the best touch of the match. 🤦🏻♀️
I don’t understand VAR. I really don’t. It very confusing and a bit farcical at times!
Today there were 2 goals disallowed. 1 penalty give on review. 1 penalty given and 1 penalty not given, but not reviewed.
It’s confusing enough when you watch it on TV. But being in the ground is even more confusing. Oh well, it was still good to be back at Carrow Road.
One advantage to working at my Chiropractor’s is that I get to read lots of information on all manner of health and lifestyle stuff.
Today I was reading about the benefits of Omega 3. So decided to add some to my diet. Love a mega pack. 150 tablets will definitely last me a while…!! Let’s hope it work.
It’s felt very Spring-like today. I was tempted to hang the laundry on the line, it was that nice. I started the day with a bit of Spring cleaning too. Always feels good.
Spotted this beauty in the border. Think it’s a hellibore, but not totally sure. Whatever it is, it’s a stunner.
I’ve lost a bit of my riding mojo lately. It’s kinda understandable given the past few years and the number of plates I’m spinning. 2019 was the best year Buddy and I had together. We ticked so many things off my horsey bucket list and achieved so much together.
Sure I set my goals for 2022. But I felt downhearted and like we were going backwards. Things I’d normally look forward to or find easy suddenly seemed daunting.
Today I tackled it head on. First a dressage lesson with a new instructor at a new venue. Two things that could have concerned me in the past. But I felt confident, learnt a lot and really enjoyed my lesson. She was really insightful and explained so much of what’s going on with us. And gave me homework. We both got a good workout!
Then a coaching call with an equestrian coach to talk through my rider mindset. Another really insightful lady. She gave me some brilliant strategies and really helped sort my spaghetti brain. Oh and more homework.
We can struggle with any aspect of our lives. I’m grateful to have some amazing people in my tribe who I can reach out to. 😘
Yes I know it’s supposed to be pancake day today. But I’m culinarily challenged as we all know. So I bought hot cross buns instead.
I love carrot cake and I love hot cross buns. So these were right up my street. Happy to report they were yummy!
Today is Rare Disease Day. One of my clients are ADSHG. They support people with Addison’s disease and adrenal insufficiency. I’ve learnt so much about how it feels to live with rare or life-threatening diseases.
The body is an amazing thing. But boy can it throw some curve balls. Grateful mine is behaving.
What a beautiful day it’s been. Norfolk is a stunning as Suffolk was. East Anglia really is special. Fortunate to be able to explore two counties in one day.
This was the perfect way to end a rather lovely weekend.
I think he’s kinda fond of me too. I was trying to get a nice selfie of us and captured this moment instead.
A beautiful moment on a beautiful day.
Look who’s two today! Happy Birthday Hugo and Dodo. 😻😻
