Day 1453 a much calmer Wednesday ♥️

I had a great nights sleep apart from one thing…. I decided it was a good idea for a Khaleesi to sleep in with us.

Instead of heading to her room for bed, she stood at our closed door and looked at me with the saddest eyes…. And I caved! 😂😂😂

She had my covers all night…. But it must have only woken me a few times, or I would have moved her. I just couldn’t get enough cover out from under her, for my left arm! She was very happy though.

There was a lovely red sky this morning.

On national Unicorn Day 🦄😂

I am much calmer today.

I feel much better that I have some trips booked for when I’m away. I still have lots of concerns and anxieties but I know that that’s all they are.

I’ve called my travel insurance to make sure I’m covered, got Craig to check our mobile phones are covered under our mobile phone insurance, I’ve told both banks I’m going to Italy…. Craig said I worry too much!!

Has he met his wife?!?!? 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

My bag is mostly packed. I’ll finalise more tonight. I also want to look at a map of Rome and get my bearings.

Hmmmmm…. I am really looking forward to some sunshine. ☀️☀️☀️ Sunday is the hottest day…. This’ll do nicely!

Actually that’s gonna be pretty hot considering it’s about 6.5°C today. It has rained ALL day today. Everything looks soaking wet. The sky is so heavy and foggy.

I’ve had a good day. It’s been a good week at work. A good buzz.

I also made another lovely, colourful dinner tonight….. Sticky Teriyaki Tofu Bowl With Purple Sprouting Broccoli & Pickled Cabbage Over Sushi Rice.

I think Freya is actually licking her lips!

I’m listening to another Mel Robbins podcast, called What Makes a Good Life.

She said that when she was younger she spent way too long looking at the curtains, deciding on the brand and the fabric… she never looked out at the view.

Wow.

That really spoke to me.

Until I was off sick, I never stopped to look out at the view. Now material things don’t really mean anything to me. It’s such a lovely feeling to want less rather than constantly wanting more.

We will not always be happy.

We will have days where we are far from happy. There will be days that are incredibly sad, days where things seem impossible to overcome, but as my friend Ruth has always said to me, we will survive 100% of these days. As awful as they seem, these are the moments that define us.

Dare to be Happier on FB shared this.

The way to happiness is to spend time building healthy relationships with others…. Says she heading off on holiday alone 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

All very wise words.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1452 right out my comfort zone!

Have you ever done something you really wanted to do and then stopped and thought, oh jeez, what have I done?!?

I’ve created the perfect storm in my head. I’m building stress and tension by the minute.

I think the main issue is that I’ve booked my Rome weekend with such short notice. I only gave myself 4 days to remember what we wear in 26°C heat, while waking round a city, which I’ve not done for years. I’ve also felt pressure to book the main tourist attractions in advance. I’d hate to go all the way there and not get in to something at the last minute.

So I didn’t sleep well last night at all, my head is buzzing…. Overwhelmed with far too much information. I feel like you need a degree to try booking a trip to the Vatican. There are so many options and prices, I swear it’s designed to bamboozle.

Every time I sat down calmly to look, I got drawn into wormholes and seem to go round in circles. So at lunch today, I found an article and read it all the way through, without reading all the pop ups.. and finally booked for the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica. It’s at 10am on Saturday morning. My hotel is only 3km away so that gives me plenty of time to get there.

I have also booked a tour for Sunday morning at 10am. The Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill tour.

If that is all I do then I think it will be more than enough.

That calmed my head immediately…… but I really struggle having to do things in the evening, when I want to write the blog and relax.

I ironed some clothes last night and need to finalise what I’m taking. I make it seem like a chore rather than fun holiday prep.

I’m sorry, I hear myself but I promised I’d be honest in this blog and tell it warts and all.

I’m driven to step out my comfort zone. I want to travel as I know how good it makes me feel and yet I freak once I’ve done it and remember how much I hate flying!! 😂

Ok I’ll shut up now…. I’m gonna do a meditation before bed tonight to try to calm my racing thoughts.

I made another lovely dinner tonight. Kimchi Miso Nourish Bowl With Farro, Charred Purple Sprouting Broccoli & Pak Choi. Don’t think I’ve ever eaten Farro before. As usual a it was really lovely.

I took it outside to eat in the sun… although it was very windy… it blew some cobwebs away.

My favourite bush is looking beautiful in the low sun.

The colour matches my dinner.

I’m gonna stop feeling sorry for myself and appreciate the excitement of a holiday.

Stepping out of our comfort zone isn’t always easy… but it will be worth it.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1451 I was up at 5.22am making Pad Thai for lunch 😆

First things first, here’s where my heads at…. Great English huh?!?

I’ve decided to go to Rome and it’s soooo last minute, I’ve created a pile of stress for myself where I could have just had a quiet weekend at home pottering.

Instead I’m flying half way across Europe to visit a city I know nothing about, in less than FOUR days.

My mind is a whirr of activity. In true Julie fashion, I want to do it right. I want to see everything in the right order at the right time, I’m not adding commas to that sentence as there are none in my inner voice.

I also want to relax and enjoy the sun. I want to avoid the crowds. So many people have warned me about pick pockets that it does worry me. I’m actually getting anxious writing all this so I need to stop giving it houseroom.

I will be fine.

I pretty much know exactly how I will feel.

I will be truly alive.

I’ll be buzzing to share it all with you. Even although I’ll be alone, I will always thinking about what photos to take and what to write to make the blog the best story of my trip.

I just love it.

I saw this first thing today…

I have been to rock bottom and as awful as it was, I am so grateful that it happened as it’s opened up a whole new world for me.

The closer I got to the heights of my career the worst I felt. My mountain top was terrifying. It wasn’t where I wanted to be. It was where society expected me to aspire to. I never realised at the time that constant promotion was only compounding my unease. It wasn’t imposter syndrome, although there was a bit of that, I was never going to be the person that the job needed me to be. I’m not political, I don’t stretch the truth, I want to be honest. I wasn’t allowed to be the best version of myself.

This really hit me today.

Today I get to be the best version of me.

I get to speak my truth and choose my own path.

Everything I do is planned last minute, based on how I might be feeling and also based on the weather. I have no plans. I’m winging it all…. But I feel proud of the way my 2024 is shaping up.

A lot of deep thinking there… so back to 5.22am.

I got out of bed to make Pad Thai for lunch… yup I am that person.

It was really lovely at the time but a bit dry by the time lunch came.

We had another busy Monday. The phone didn’t stop, I sat at my desk at 8am and felt like I blinked and it was 4pm!

I came home and made Black Bean Chilli Enchiladas Topped With Cashew Cheese Sauce & A Zingy Cherry Tomato Salsa…. Precisely!

Soooo tasty!!

I used the new mixing bowl that mum got for me, thanks Mum!

It made a huge difference not spilling everything all over the worktop. 😂

So that’s me for today. Will leave you with a Calaidh photo from this morning before work.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1450 a lovely Sunday with a surprise city break booking!! 🇮🇹

What a crazy day.

I woke at 7am and decided I wanted to go away next weekend. As I do.

I spoke to Craig to make sure there’s nothing else on and started looking.

The weather is wet and windy again next weekend so a train trip to Arisaig didn’t seem that appealing. (Should say here that I would love to go to Arisaig at the weekend but not if I get soaked everytime I go outside)!

I then went on to Skyscanner… of course I did.

On Friday 15th April I am flying to Rome for 3 nights!!!

Wow. No one is no more surprised than me!

I am equal parts excited and terrified.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Life is short and is for living.

Now.

I almost backed out as I was booking it… a million anxieties ran through my mind. Why would I put myself through the nerves of doing this? Why am I spending this money? What if I’m too scared to go? What if I’m lonely? I don’t drink so can’t just have a glass of wine somewhere? On and on and on…. But I still booked it!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!

I’ve paid a wee bit extra to fly with Jet2 so that I can get coach transfers to my hotel. I also have a hotel with a pool so I have somewhere to relax to if it all gets a bit much. Jet2 also offer 24 hour hotline support so there’s someone I can call if I need it. I can’t ask for much more than that.

Craig is working next weekend, and has never fancied Italy, so that’s the main reason I chose it. He’s really supportive of me travelling… though obviously wishes he could have a holiday too!

So yeah, check me. Excitement and nerves!!

Also I have to get the Monday off work too… eeek!

Other than that bit of dramatic news, I spent the day writing a bit of the book I kind of think I’m writing and headed up to Braehead to spend some Primark vouchers I got for my birthday and Christmas!

The weather is wild today, again! Even the drive to Braehead was pretty hair-raising.

I didn’t get the denim skirt but I did get the jumper.

Also got it in gray. It’s super lightweight but cosy at the same time. It will be great for layering.

I didn’t get the furry body warmer but it was super cosy!!

I got this T-shirt in this colour and in white and that was my vouchers spent!

Thanks Evelyn and Stuart & Lee!

A few pupper photos to end with.

Holding Bhru’s paw!

Big yawn! Sometimes I think we got a dog to match the couch in the sunroom 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂

Appreciate any Rome suggestions anyone may have?

Hope you’ve all had a great weekend!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1449 an amazing Saturday with a powerful message ♥️

I have a had a lovely day…. So far…. It’s only 5pm.

It’s been full of a little bit of everything. Exercise, laughter, friendship, sadness, love and of course dog walks and housework.

Before I even start I feet truly blessed to have had such a lovely day…. It’s ok, I hear myself 😂 today has been a normal Saturday but I’ve enjoyed every single minute of it, in the present moment.

It started at 6.20am…. The alarm went off after the perfect sleep. It was the hardest thing ever to get out of bed but I did as I’d arranged to go running with Rachel two doors down, her sister Lynsey and Emma.

We ran from Coldstream Mill.

We run just over 3 miles. I was so chuffed I managed to keep up until the very end when I felt a wee bit sick. 🤢

It’s the calm before the storm.

Spotted these wee lambs, obviously freshly born. 🐑

There’s lots of flood water after yesterday’s rain.

I was very red… but really proud of myself!

I drove Rachel home and we went out to walk Nacho and Calaidh.

Then I was straight back out with Bhruic and Freya!

The daffodils are out in full bloom!

More flooding…

Back home to pick up Khaleesi, it’s her turn!

She is so excited when she’s on a walk!

Love this nature with the man made…

All of this before 10am!!

When I got back home, I tackled the housework. The dogs are on the cusp of moulting session again so there’s a whole lot of hair to be hoovered up. I emptied the hoover 4 times. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

It’s been great to get the house all clean…. Woe betide any man or puppy that might mess it up 😆😘

Claire came in for a cuppa over lunch time and it was great to catch up.

I did more cleaning and decided to make some lunch. I had fasted for 21 hours without even realising.

I made Kimchi noodle soup with enoki mushrooms, silken tofu, sesame gochugaru topping and fresh coriander.

It was soooooo good!!

I then sent a voice note to my lovely friend who received the inoperable cancer diagnosis over Christmas. If you remember I’ve never met her but she’s been a friend on FB for over 5 years now. She sent me so many lovely cards, books and gifts when I was off sick and struggling with depression. She showed me a light when all I could see was darkness.

We’ve been messaging with voice notes as it’s easier for her. I told her it was very windy today as Storm Kathleen is blowing across Scotland.

She sent me a message back to say she is very weak now and her voice is failing.

She said that she wished this hadn’t happened to her so she could have met me. She thanked me for being me, for every single thing that I am. She asked me to please believe in myself because she believed in me and, if I value her opinion, then I must know that she’s right. She said I am simply the absolute best of every good thing in this world and she told me that she loved me so much.

Wow. 🥰😢

Even in her darkest moments, she has the strength to brighten other people’s lives.

I can’t tell you what this lady has done for me. She showed me that there was a way out of the depression. She showed her love for a stranger because she saw something in me that may have mirrored her own life. She’s been such an inspiration and I truly hope that I can be the same for someone else some day. I will never forget her message today and I can never repay her, I can only pay it forward.

If that’s not a reason to live life to the full then I don’t know what is.

I have her husband’s phone number now so that I can keep in touch with him.

So yeah I’m gonna end it here tonight, I’m so full of gratitude and love and a few tears but I think that’s perfectly understandable.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1448 rail trip to Pitlochry to see Mum & Dad!

My alarm went off at 5.45am…. I woke at 3.11am to think about what I was wearing today. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Of course I did. It was a great sleep until then but obviously the rain, snow, cold etc was playing on my mind. Us over thinkers need to make time to overthink!

Craig got up to make me a decaf coffee which I ended up taking with me… and of course the first train is delayed… a 40mph restriction on the track due to the heavy rain overnight.

I got a bit antsy… I had a half hour to get across Glasgow before my next train. It was only delayed by 11 minutes but the restriction is making us later. Then FB shows me this.

Synchronicity ♥️

I did literally run across Glasgow from Central to Queen Street, a steady jog. I’m a bit dishevelled and out of puff but I made it!

Next stop Stirling!

Should say here with my Club 50 railcard, (oh my actual god, how much does that freak me out?!?) Glengarnock to Pitlochry cost me £39.75. Now I know I could drive for less than that probably, but my view is it keeps mileage down on the car and I get to look out the windows and see the world like a lady of leisure. That’s the plan…. 😂

Made it to Stirling with a half hour until my next train.

Of course Mrs overactive bladder always has to find the loo…

Closed due to flooding

😳

It will be fine. 😬

I survived…. I’m the blue dot 🔵 on the map!

The snow appeared just north of Stirling. all of these are taken from a moving train through tinted windows!

It’s very dull, misty and overcast…. All 3 of them but the snow is really pretty.

About to arrive in Pitlochry. There is no snow!!

What a lovely day we have had!! Mum and Dad met me off the train, such a shame this is blurry, they appeared as the southbound train pulled out the station and I was crossing the bridge!

They were all bedecked in waterproofs and I felt a bit under waterproofed!

The took me to Cafe Biba for lunch.

A lovely wee building, just like our house! I had the veggie breakfast but didn’t eat the egg… I’m still on this “not fancying meat” thing. I would eat it if it was put down in front of me but I’m just not able to choose it for some reason. I had a lovely soya decaf latte! Completely perplexed Dad!!

Mum and I went for a wander round the shops starting off with Heather Gems which was recommended to me, by Margaret, yesterday!

It’s a huge store where you watch them making the jewellery too…. Lovely!

We had a good wander around the shops, until 1pm when chauffeur Dad, as he said he was called, came and picked us up!!

We decided to head up to The House of Bruar just north of the lovely village of Blair Atholl.

This is a very posh shopping complex where you walk about and look at things that you can never really afford to buy! That’s a slight exaggeration… the shoes dad picked up were £435… I said he should get 2 pairs!! There were lots of photo opportunities though.

This is a cashmere jumper canoe!

The Troop London canoe.

The Yeti canoe. I think Craig will like this one!

Here’s mum in motion… this is the sit-ooterie for food!

We had another cuppa and a cake this time.

Think our village woodcutters need to up their game!

Even the fresh fruit and veg looks amazing.

We headed back down the road towards Pitlochry and stopped in Blair Atholl to look at the water wheel.

There was no water running through the burn at all…. Would you believe that this is the reason…

Maybe we got their rain in Ayrshire??? I feel like it’s rained all winter… just shows you!

Our next stop was the River Garry Bridge. It’s soooo high up!! this is the view looking north.

Looking south is so very different.

Then chauffeur Dad drove us to Faskally wood where I got a few photos of Loch Faskally.

We went back to the caravan for a quick pit stop to wait for my train home.

It’s started to rain by the time we got to the station to wait on the train.

We mucked about with the mini flower train!

As we waited the Royal Scotsman train pulled into Pitlochry heading north. It is stunning and as dad pointed out, everything that could be painted, has been painted! Click that link and get a look. It’s lovely.

If you zoom in, everything underneath it is spotless, every window had been cleaned, it’s an old train that’s pretty immaculate!

Think I’ll have to stick to the Inter7city for now!!

I’ve just pulled into Stirling but this is a direct train to Glasgow so I don’t have to get off here.

I’ve had a lovely day with Mum and Dad! I love that we are making new memories together. That feels important to me.

We need to plan our next adventure!

Only another hour and 45 until I’m home to Craig and the pupper bunch!

Have a great weekend!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1447 a testing Thursday!

It was a beautiful morning.

The sun was shining… a reminder that good weather always follows the rain. All of this is going through my head as I drive to work. It makes me smile. I wonder who I am on days like this. I should say it’s 3°C so will bitterly cold.

I drove to work this morning in a great mood. I was listening to my Happy playlist on Spotify. Mel Robbins suggested we make a playlist and we should use it to make us feel happy. Chesney Hawkes “I am the one and only” is my got to since I passed my driving test! That was a while ago… 😂😂.

I rarely listen to music. What I’m about to say here will make me sound crazy…. But it makes me “feel” too much.

I always seem to well up with emotion at the memories that certain songs stir. I can’t listen to a song without remembering where I was, or who I was with or what stage in my life it reminds me of. I find myself avoiding music and listening to podcasts. It’s safer.😂

I had a great wee sing this morning but it won’t happen often.

No one opened the gate for me today either but that was ok! I did it myself 😂

I got really anxious about something first thing and let it affect the rest of my day.

Then I upset a lady on a horse tonight, who said I was driving too fast…. I stopped dead as soon as I saw her even although she was on the other side of the road. She was really angry.

You know me. I apologised at the time. I drove off…. I felt awful. Then I was angry. Then I felt awful again. She who doesn’t like to upset anyone got a right dressing down. I guess it worked, as I will think of horses on every road I ever drive on from now on. Just another thing to add to the list of things to worry about.

I’m ok though, I’m actually good, just quiet and I’m now sitting outside in the garden… thinking… it’s cold but I’m enjoying the fresh air. I’ve swept up some leaves and I have the 4 dogs sitting out with me. It feels good to decompress.

My favourite bush is coming into bloom.

It would appear I’ve not been “on” HRT for much of this week. Every time I go to replace my patch, the one I want to remove, is not there. You’d think I’d realise at some point? Nope.. oblivious. Those wee patches must disappear into thin air. I never find them!

Despite all the negativity in my day, I had another great kinesiology session last night and felt very calm afterwards, I slept like a log.

The synchronicity….. I get an email from tut.com this morning which is exactly what Kinesiology was all about. ♥️

Tomorrow is rail trip day as I’m off to Pitlochry to meet Mum and Dad who are on holiday up there. The forecast is SNOW!!!

Least I’m not driving and it might make for some pretty pictures…. If it actually happens!

Have a great Thursday night.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1446 a rainy Wednesday but a clear head!

Wow what a quick day…. I did a stock check at work today and had a great wee time to myself… until I got back to my desk and tried to catch back up with the day to day!!

I seemed to have switched the wi-fi off on the laptop and was oblivious to anything other than my stock take!

All done for another month.

I had a great sleep last night but lay awake thinking I couldn’t believe I was so awake… my head thinking rubbish nights’ sleep…. Then the alarm went off. It was just time to get up. Our inner voice can be so harsh at times!

I had my left over dinner for lunch today…. It doesn’t look quite as tasty in a plastic tub. I was so full I didn’t eat any snacks for the rest of the day, oh apart from some banana bread!

Really strangely about an hour after it my face went bright red and refused to cool down. I’ve never had hot flushes and I don’t know if that’s what it was… I had the portacabin doors open and then had to take my long sleeved top off from under my work T shirt.

It was burning and while it’s cooler now there’s is still an underlying heat.

I made another lovely Planthood meal tonight.

Rich & Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff With Chickpeas, Baby Spinach, Basmati Rice & Fresh Parsley (copied that straight from the website!). I rushed it in time for Kinesiology but it’s delayed for a bit so now I’m chilling writing this while I wait. It’s good actually as I felt a bit too harassed!

The photo on the recipe shows mushroom stroganoff… mine shows chickpea (with mushroom) stroganoff 😂😂 it’s a bit runnier than it should be but it tastes lovely.

I haven’t had time to focus much on synchronicity today…. I did drive to work thinking the gate would be open.. it wasn’t… I laughed, got out and opened and it and drove through saying, I did that…. Honestly, the chat I have to myself😆

This is very true for me. I need to go with the flow

It has rained ALL day!!!

And finally… I’ve downloaded a course by Mel Robbins that I’m going to start.

It’s called Make it happen… ready to unlock your potential?!? Let’s see how it goes. My head is good just now. Normally I would say that something usually comes and wallops that out of me but I’m going to own my positive mind and keep working on it.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1445 synchronicity ♥️🥰♥️

Tonight I’m going to talk about synchronicity. It’s been slapping me in the face all day and I love it.

I was listening to Mel Robbins’ podcast 3 ways to brainwash yourself to success, on the way into work.

She starts off talking about synchronicity… how many times do you have things happen to you that feel like coincidence? Do you have a voice inside of you that tells you something? Do you listen to it or brush it off.

She encourages us to listen to that voice and trust it and to see these coincidences as signs that we are on the right path.

This is the second blog I’ve talked about her podcasts… I sound like a super fan… 😆 just some of them speak to me. (Some of them equally do not!!)

I’m still trying to get up without scrolling through my phone first… I am finding that tough on the darker mornings.

I was just about to get into the shower today wondering what to make for lunch when Ellison text to say she was bringing lentil soup and a buttered roll for me!! No need to bring anything.

I drove to work today thinking I’d park inside our car park at work and I’m usually the one who opens the gates. I was driving along listening to the podcast and thinking how lovely it would be if the gates were open…. I got close and saw them and thought, never mind, they are closed…. And there was Ellison walking out to open them!!! She never does that but was in the car park for some other reason and thought to open the gate.

I thought today would be quite quiet and had already decided that I was going to keep busy and thought on all the things I would do as a result…. The day took off and I never got a minute to think about the things I was going to do.

I drove to the little gift shop tonight and said that I would get a space right outside the door and I did.

The key is to change your thinking from, ugh, the gates will always be shut and I’ll have to get out and get wet, ugh I’m going to be really bored today and ugh, I’ll never get a parking space.

I trust my gut 100% and I hear that inner voice talking to me all the time. Since my anxiety and depression, it’s very loud and tells me clearly what is not right for me. It screams at me sometimes. I also see signs EVERYWHERE!!

I also tested this theory… I said I was going to see a Highland Cow today and Visit Scotland just shared a FB reel of a herd of Highlanders running along a single track road… I didn’t specify in the flesh. 😂

Now this obviously isn’t always going to work 100% of the time but I love the positivity of it. Set your intention and claim it when it happens, smile to yourself… I did that!

I’m not a fan of all this windy weather that’s coming again… I don’t like the wind.. then my friend Isy shares this…

It’s 7.30 already and I’ve had a lovely evening… NOT watching tv.

I made a Planthood meal for dinner tonight.

Kimchi Pancakes With Sticky Soy Portobellos, Gochujang Mayo & Pickled Cucumbers

Sadly my pancakes stuck to the frying pan but I knew that was going to happen.. I manifested it by saying bet the pancakes stick to the frying pan 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 but it tasted really good.

I finished listening to the podcast and I’ve signed up to a free course Make it Happen with Mel Robbins. I’ll get started on that this week.

I’ve been sitting stagnating about some of the things I’m unhappy with recently and now is time to start taking action.

So that’s all from me tonight. It’s given me a wee spring in my step.

I know a few very good friends going through very difficult life changes just now. It is not my story to tell but I don’t want to leave it unsaid…. They are all in my thoughts and I’m sending lots of love. ♥️ A reminder that life is short and we should all make the best of it.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Day 1444 1st April 2024 🤡

You’ll be pleased to know the roads were extremely quiet this morning at 7am, due to the fact that the rest of the world seemed to have the day off. I’m so dramatic eh?!?

I had a rotten sleep last night. I was tense and woke a few times and eventually had to take ibuprofen to try and relax my muscles. It actually didn’t work, shouldn’t have bothered and should have tried to relax my mind more.

When the alarm went off, I was catapulted into the world from the deepest sleep. Nothing worse, it’s a horrible feeling, I felt hungover which is VERY unfair after 5 years and 3 months of the stuff.

I’ve been a bit meh all day. Acht that’s unfair, I’m fine, just a bit flat.

The weather was cloudy and cold all day. What a difference from the beauty sunshine yesterday.

The key is to appreciate the beauty in these days too. I’m very grateful to be healthy and to be living my life. I need to do something to mix it up a bit though. I’m in such a rut through the week. I cannot wait to get under a blanket, in front of the tv and I’m letting life pass me by. Food for thought.

It’s April Fools Day so I’ll link the post that Craig did on FB…. Scottish Dog Behaviourist April Fools.

I get a wee cameo at the end!!

This was my fav, which I knew wasn’t true the minute I read it.

Never in a million!!

I was reminded today of the one time I was completely caught out by an April Fools at work and really believed it. 😆

A bus operator was using smart paint technology to change the colour of the bus… if they drove up to a bus stop and the green route and there were people waiting, they would change the bus to green…. I couldn’t get my head around what happens if you got on a silver bus on the silver route and the driver decided to turn to the green route, what would you do?!?!?

I’ve inserted the video which most likely won’t work but I’m trying it anyway. It still makes me laugh.

So feet up in front of the tv feeling super comfy and cosy and relaxed. The faster life is for living another day.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
