Day 441 UEFA Euro 2020 Scotland vs Czech Republic at Hampden 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽️🇨🇿

Boy I had the worst sleep last night…… my mind never stopped all night. I’m sure I slept but I woke up with the grumpiest grumpiness ever.

To be fair at 4.45am it’s hard to be happy about anything but I really could have cried.

I had to do my weigh in and measurements this morning and I had nae patience for it. Craig said if I didn’t sort my attitude I could do it myself. He read all that from my body language. I never said a word. He was right of course. He often is, I just don’t let him think that.

Just as well I had the Fit Body Farm to help lift my mood.

All the exercises involved an exercise sand bag type thing which we grew to hate by the end of the session. Mine was 20kg and Craigs was 50kg. We were Team Avery again and actually won two of the 4 challenges. Methinks the female half of Team Avery needs to work on her exercising and counting at the same time. 😬🙄 Craig with the heaviest weight and me the newest member of the 6am crew…. We’re not likely to have the highest score!

So for the first time in 23 years Scotland have taken part in the finals of a football tournament. It’s a big day for Scottish football and work actually finished up work early to watch it. That certainly wouldn’t have happened in my previous life. 😬

Apparently Glasgow City Centre joined in the National anthem, out in the streets. There’s footage of it and it’s the most amazing sound after everything we’ve all gone through this last year.

And yet again we lost 0-2…. It’s tough being a Scotland fan and constantly having to rally after the losses. But hey we had loads of missed opportunities today which is something…..

Read the link……. Why “Yes sir, I can boogie” is the anthem

The football finishes and I have an appointment with a nurse for that thing that women all hate…. The smear test. These were all put on hold through COVID-19 so appointments have just been filtering through for those due this year and overdue from last year.

Always a pleasure she lied….. 😩 but it’s very important that we all go for the screening offered to us in life.

I also got taken through the virtues of reading up on being peri-menopausal as I am “coming of age”….. The nurse wanted me to meet with friends for coffee and talk about the menopause. Get it out there. HRT is not something to be feared, it has great positives. So my homework is to read up as much as I can.

I did tell her I could do one better and I could write about it in my blog…. The guys will love all this stuff but you need to know what the women in your life have ahead of them. You need to know when to read the signs and run for cover 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😆♥️

I did tell her I’m just coming out of the anxiety and depression times and the last thing I need is something else that makes me crazy but she says the more clued up I am, the easier it will be and we should embrace it.

Ok….. will try to do so. 🥰 BRING. IT. ON…

Back home and took the pups for a walk with Claire on the very smirry rain. I am very tired and having the earliest night and lie in tomorrow and I am so excited about it!

Stay safe everyone 💜💗💜
