Col... it's Spring! Finally. Yesterday was the first sunny and warm day we've truly had and today is hot on its heels. My phone tells me it's 19 degrees, doesn't feel like it but I'll trust that it's true. We've had a beautiful blue sky all day, I have washing on the line and the back door is open to air out this place, it's lovely.
Hip/leg is still not OK but is improving... very slowly. I finally get to see my Doctor on Tuesday, I'm hoping she'll just tell me it's a sprain, of course I've been pencilling myself in for a hip replacement in the past few weeks (imagination running wild,) or at the very least a progression of Osteoarthritis but suffice to say, as soon as I can move without pain, I will be exercising again. It's made me realise that if you can move, then you should move. We need to look after ourselves.
This past week I've been getting itchy feet, I've been lusting after visiting you and also wondering about changing my job. I didn't think I would change again but a friend from two jobs ago sent me a text to let me know that jobs were coming up and it piqued my interest. Really got me thinking.
Anyway, had a rubbish few weeks, leg is making me miserable then we had Mother's Day and today is Mum's birthday, so you know what I'm like but I did get a white feather 'Hello' yesterday which was lovely to see, (I had the back door open while I gardened and was in and out, went back after a few minutes and the white feather was on the mat, inside, by the back door.)
Oh... major news... I've given up wine! Well, strictly speaking, I've given up drinking wine alone. I still like wine but I got to the point were I finally recognised that my body wasn't handling it very well, it was too easy to open a bottle of wine here and to finish it off and it literally felt like I was poisoning myself. In the past month, I've had a thimble full of Prosecco at my cousin's birthday afternoon tea and half a glass of rose one night at Bee's with a meal, (so don't think we can't have wine when I see you next!) I have a few G&T's at the weekend and that's me... done. I was practically teetotal before Mum died and it's taken me all this time to sort myself out, I probably could have funded several trips to you.
Next weekend is Easter so that will be a nice, long one. I plan on sleeping... a lot, and who knows, I may be able to start exercising again. Keep everything crossed. Love you x
