RACH AND HER WEIGHT

Hi, well it is here. the sun ,at least this beautiful morning. I took the rugs off the horses and they are rolling in delight after 7 months of wearing their rugs.

I haven't slipped into my tee shirts yet because it is still a bit chilly here in North Wales, but  maybe later when I take my 4 year old grandson for a walk up Snowden, well maybe a train ride because even I can't climb mountains at the moment..ha ha..So there will be no scenes  from 'The sound of music' but I do feel so much better after a few weeks of tiredness.I know it has only been a few months since my op but I am managing to do a lot more.

My weight? well that has been up and down, mostly up but everyone tells me I look healthier, and I still am trying to eat the right foods but due to the tabs, I am carrying a few pounds or more ,but my clothes feel tighter and so I lay down to pull on my skinny jeans, only to find I need to cover my tummy with a longer top...oh well..Look how lucky I have been,and to be here!

I haven't been on the 'net much, as have started to make my own films from old pics and it's great because I add music and clips and then burn them onto a dvd.Far more interesting than flicking through an album, and I have my name in the credits..so watch out Stephen Speilberg..lol

I had my old red car fixed so am speeding around the countryside..not really speeding, more like 20 miles an hour avoiding sheep and lambs wandering onto the lanes, and of course people on horses.I haven't ridden again yet but Aneurin bought me an American saddle, but he forget's that my three remaining horses are past it,apart from Bolero, and although he is half American Quarter horse, he is as stubbon as a mule, and will reverse rather than 'walk on.So maybe we will give him a fright one of these days and at least put the saddle on..

Getting ready for two weeks around the Med in June, can't wait, our tickets should be ready soon but not going to take so many clothes. I start to pack, then unpack, thinking I wont need them, then thinking I might, but I am def. taking my croc sandles as they are so comfy.

I hope you are all well and as usual I will now read your blogs, just to see how you are getting on.

Enjoy the weather,

love

Rach.xxxx

  Good to hear from you again and that you are sounding very positive about things.
  
  My sister (a 17 year BC survivor) is doing The Race for Life with me next month. Also her daughter will be joining us and some lovely 'Online' friends I have made.
  I was pleased to see, when I signed on this morning that I have aslready made my £100 target and that's not counting the sponsorship I have 'offline'. The sooner we get a real cure for this horrible disease, the better.
  
  Your grandson is 4 now!! Where does the time go but then have a look at my last entry,there is a short clip of Isabella talking on the phone (so cute)and she will be 2 next month!!
  
  Hope you enjoy the cruise, I think it will be just what you need.

  PS That photo thing sounds a good idea!
