I slept like a log last night. 3 caffeine coffees yesterday too, go figure. Not complaining.

Khaleesi’s first mum/previous owner was on TV yesterday being interviewed by Vanessa Feltz! Khal was out the count after a big day and slept right through it.

Craig got a great wee clip the other day when she was on Newsnight. It’s on his Scottish Dog Behaviourist page! I do wonder if she knows who it is?! 😂

I felt a bit antsy when I woke up… as if I should be worrying about something… I know how ridiculous that sounds but that’s what anxiety does. I have to say it’s 1pm…. I’m sitting writing this and I feel calm to the point I could just sleep.

I’ve said before, but the calm after anxiety is a wonderful feeling.

The feeling of cleaning your rain splashed glasses, and being able to see again, is equally wonderful. Don’t know why I didn’t clean them before now. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 hello blog!

I was up at 6am as I was heading to Ballast Bank in Troon. A very inspirational lady I know was swimming from Ballast Bank out to Lady Isle and back to raise money for River Garden Auchencruive. They do amazing work helping people to free themselves of addiction to drink and drugs. Chantal very sadly lost her partner to addiction a few years ago. She’s been talking about doing this since I met her swimming with Ellison and Eileen.

It was a pretty wet morning with winds forecast up to 14 mph…. Or knots… I’m thinking knots to be honest. Anymore than that and she would have to stop.

I’m dressed for the weather.

There’s a dredger out going up and down the channel that Chantal will be swimming across.

It’s pretty wet and mean and moody.

A very blurry photo of Lady Isle.

She has a friend swimming with her.

There she is waving at the boat!

Ready for the off.

We watched until they were almost invisible and then I headed to Morrisons in Troon for a food shop. It was a very healthy food shop!

I have to say that I am loving driver Bertie Beetle (I still feel the need to say I don’t actually call it that!! 😂) I think if I’d still been driving the van, I wouldn’t have gone down to Troon this morning.

I headed into Irvine and had a wander around Primark.

I got a pair of parachute trousers!! 🪂👖check me. How old do I think I am?!?

They are size 10/12 which is uh-mazing… they are obviously MASSIVE made (big made wasn’t quite large enough!) they were reduced from £18 to £10.

Also for a vest top and these teal joggers. They were £6.

Came home and got photos of the pups and took the OG3 out for a walk. This one of Khaleesi makes me laugh. Her face!

It’s stayed dry.

I went to pick Gayle up at 3pm and we headed up to Braehead Shopping Centre to get some currency for our holiday. We had a wander round the shops and I got some new trainers.

Chantal finished her swim in 5.5hours. What an amazing effort.

And just like that it’s 8pm! I’ve had a good day today. I love an early start and making the most of the day.

Most of all I love being calm.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
