Morning Kiss


Im up and outside with the birds this morning, my god its a bit chilly out there, im going to have to start getting dressed in the mornings soon..lol


As usual ive been sitting in the garden with my headset, its the only time i get to myself in this house, and my favourite part of the day..


Today is going to be a busy one, its the day i cram in 2 days work so i can go to the stables tomorrow..lol I have to be back for the kids at 4 then take Lauren horseiding at 5 back home at 6 then off to Stalham at 7... its not boring thats for sure...


Im just trying to work out when im supposed to get ready, my fella goes to sleep if he takes Lauren and finds riding boring so i cant ask him on this one..hehe


I had to giggle this morning the kids caught me in full swing dancing outside.. i have a bad habit of that, im trying to sit quietly when my musics on, you know what its like you hear a song and off it goes, it started with my feet and i just couldnt help myself, my lot really should be used to me by now, but apparently mum is weird...lol whats wrong with getting up feeling a spring in your stride, I feel good today..


The kids have a cycling test today so that explains why theres bikes all round my lounge, they obviously didnt want cold seats ! lol


Right im gonna see how quick Santana can make me work today, I cant wait for salsa tonight...


I hope you feel better soon Cheryl, we will all miss you tonight..

Changes


I've finally started back my tuesday dance classes last night, I didnt realise how much id missed the guys there, it was a really good night...


Its usually theres not enough men so to have more guys than women was brilliant..


Derik started back to classes last week too so ive grabbed him for my partner, as my fella i dont normally get past 20 seconds with before they move us on..lol


The moves were really good weve learnt a few tricks to practise so im looking forward now to dragging the class up to stalham for richard and Sharons party, they have asked me to grab the tickets so like the salsa boat we know its going to be another of those dont miss nights..


Saturday Cheryl thankfully dragged me out of the house, to do a 3 hour intensive course, omg was i tired after that, it was really good though and ive been practising at home when nobodies about..lol


Its been a few weeks of non stop work and no fun, so this week we decided that had to change and although my fella looks ill to me, im going to make sure that laptops on a timer now...


If he wont cut down the work, ill just have to make sure he gets a better offer...hehe


where theres a will theres a way... dont they say


Funny that.... my will's finally rearing its head at last............lol


Ive got the feeling this week lots of new opportunities are on their way...


And this girl wants to make the most of everything again now...


See you tonight Cheryl & Fran..................im coming !! yipeeeeeeeee

Natural


Its been a funny couple of weeks, I havent for various reasons been blogging much or doing much good stuff, hopefully this week I will change that..its certainly off to a good start...lol


Today has been brilliant, I had such a good day at work, happily sailed through the packing and enjoyed my music, im always happy on Mondays its riding day !!

I have to say tonight was one of the best classes ive had to date, Kevin goes on holiday this week so is in really good spirits, he made us laugh that much the time simply flew....


I managed to walk my horse into a wall and nearly out of the car park, with the class all following unknowingly... lol(it was pitch black out there) but Kevin soon pointed out to everyone amusingly my sense of direction needs some work too..lol It really was great fun tonight..


We managed to make James blush as we all arrived early so started talking about the usual girly stuff (sex) and in he walks, this guy is such a gentleman and as ive found out tonight, totally charming.. he didnt walk off instead helped us girls understand guys a little more (if its possible to understand one at all) hehe


I was on Pip tonight so spent half the lesson holding him back, my god was he fast, its made my day ...Ive come home so full of beans tonight..lol


Tomorrow night belly dancing and salsa starts again for me, so by the end of the week i hope to be back to feeling good again..

Saturdays child

God its so peaceful here this morning, every ones still asleep so ive been singing my head off in the usual hope no one hears me manner..lol

Ive had a good couple of days im finally catching up on the things i couldn't and after yesterday i feel really happy today...

I haven't been able to go to the stables and work for 3 weeks, its been driving me mad, i go to work and pack but in my head all day will be those horses and fields..lol its sad really but i look forward to doing something different on a Friday it helps keep me smiling..

So yesterday i went, i packed what had to go when i got home from dancing and it worked it then left me free to go up there and get dirty... and my god i certainly was this week, my fella just opened the gates and his mouth opened i was literally covered in not so nice smelling stuff and totally drenched to the skin, it never stopped raining all day !lol

Mind you Ive never had so much fun getting wet either..hehe
I'm the type of girl that likes to muck in its good for the soul..

This week non of the guys turned up, they were supposed to be in, but that's probably as Kevin was away at a competition so we called in another girl Sharon and the 3 of us worked our arses off together getting everything done, i loved it !

The atmosphere was brilliant we were singing as we were filling up hay nets and taking it in turns to bring out hot drinks... it just goes to prove how much you can get done when you work well together.. i like both of these girls they are very similar to me, which is probably why they were there yesterday working in the rain....lol

I managed to get my fella to come up and mend a roof... it was running in on polo who's a beautiful chestnut horse i take care of when I'm there, his owner was so pleased, but i cleaned his stable til it shone and then had to watch the rain fill it up afterwards, so something needed doing.. i know what that feels like ..lol so up he comes to pick me up and up he goes up on the ladder, he looked so nice too but the dirty roof soon changed that... i must be such a pain in the bum to live with....lol

But what i got from being there yesterday is priceless to me and it doesn't hurt to do something nice for people, doesn't it feel nice when someone does it for us.....

Thursday was another brilliant night at Cuban salsa, thankfully the dentist did his work so i could smile happily, its a good job he did. i don't think i stopped smiling all night! what was that music Richard it was infectious? we couldn't sit down even my fella got blisters on his feet....lol

we need more guys at this place, so if your sitting at home in that armchair please come along, I was dancing with Paul and couldn't believe how good hes getting, hes a natural.. he even said i could wiggle now as it used to put him off......the confidence is growing week by week now..

The girls doing regaetton was really something else..it was certainly a camera night so next week its coming with me... lol

Were trying to arrange somewhere to stay on the http://www.dancecuban.net/ party night and hes going to try and get us a room there for the night, imagine that dance your feet off then just toddle off upstairs.. failing that ill be taking a tent................. yes i am serious you lot.. i will get to use it before Christmas im determined..Sleeping under those stars sounds pretty irresistible to me..lol if i drink enough i certainly wont feel cold....lol



Today im up early again, ive had enough tea and good songs that im ready for the day today, my fella is off to work so ive got a day to do what i need to.... lol

I wanted to work last night but my kids all asked me to watch a movie with them instead, i dont normally watch tv much but i really enjoyed the night, we shared 2 buckets of candy floss and i let them pick the movie, the mummy returns... it ended up a lovely night, they told me last night they want to see Egypt, and i know i can make that possible if i keep going forward...


My dream is to get to Cuba next April with my fella so i know theres going to be plenty more weeks of working hard in between but if i take a day out when i need a break and spend a few evenings with my friends and family, its enough..........


Enough to keep me happy inside and count myself lucky for everything and everyone i do have around me......

I am certainly lucky that way.......

Alright Jack


I feel so much better tonight , its Monday and Ive actually got out of the house away from work for an hour.............god it was lovely..

Tonight i was riding Jack, hes such a beautiful horse he does make my legs ache though ! I cant get them anywhere near his belly........lol


Tonight we all got some exciting news in a few weeks time we are starting the jumping.... yipeeeeee


God Ive missed that so much, i was always jumping at my last stables but looking back i dont know how i managed to stay on, my balance must be good that's all i can say..it wasn't down to my riding well that's for sure....hehe
I think that's probably why i loved it so much though, its was so exhilarating...
I'm so glad I'm learning technique and how to ride properly now, but theres still a part of me that loved going there Saturdays and jumping those courses, I'm tempted to go and do both places again but my fella wasn't so happy about that part.. lol
Ever since i was a small one Ive always wanted to show jump, I'm still small just a lot older now so its better late than never in my eyes........ roll on that first lesson, it cant come quick enough... I could do with some excitement ...lol

I was speaking to Kevin tonight as we were walking back, i miss going to help out at the stables but due to having to send out parcels Fridays and the bad weather we have encountered, i haven't managed to get there now for 3 weeks, that's got to change this week........Im going come what may.........
Ive worked out ill pack the stuff when i get back from Stalham and our salsa class so i can go and share those Polo's out .. apparently someones missed me...........lol my flirty horse Prince and a few of the poor sods there that have been doing my share..........bless

Its not about the work there, i know how hard work it is, but what it does bring me is inner peace, its sounds like a blond saying but that's exactly how i feel , so calm and content...

I come home shattered and so happy its wonderful, even my fella is pushing me to go back now, he knows how much it means to me being up there..im also very grumpy apparently..lol

I cant have a holiday this year but my grandmother always says "a change is as good as a rest" i never understood what she meant then, but do now.......

We've had a hard weekend with nothing but work and more work, ive tried to make it as pleasurable as possible (no dirty thoughts needed i have plenty of them already) lol but really could do with a change and some fresh air , my fella is a workaholic and wont hear of such a thing........ he'll just take his laptop outside.......lol

Im happy tonight, im now going to grab a lovely bath, a brandy (my back and legs need one) and chill out for an hour (probably fall asleep in there) ...lol

Its amazing really mother nature has a way of changing your day into a great one as much as music does..

I think ill take my headset along this week and see how good the two are together...lol

Thanks to a great group of people and one very beautiful horse ive managed to switch off from work and am smiling tonight.........

Goodnight all...............

Music Nights

Its been a much better end to my week, were still working away tonight so i decided id take some time out and post, i havent been writing much as i simply didnt have much to say (hehe thats a novelty)..
We were supposed to at a party tonight but after seeing what workload my fella has on weve chosen to knuckle down and get it done, bless he went out especially today to get me a new headset, so its the least i could do, stay in cook him something nice and try to help .. its actually been a lovely night....
Im so lucky that way, hes such a good man...
Weve lit the garden up with candles and both have our laptops out here..lol well if youve got to work then ill find a way that makes it feel better, ive loaded my headset with suitable music to chill and although ive been singing my head off out here he hasnt moaned once....lol
Lauren actually told him i should enter the x factor, and he still didnt bite............hehe
Its strange sometimes music has the power to completely put me in a different frame of mind, the same thing happened thursday night, id had such a stressful day worrying about the rain, i walked into Sharon and Richards class and it all just melted away, i came out of that place so happy it was untrue, no matter how tired you are or stressed out you feel , it just goes ..
I had some brilliant dances this week, the rueda was great fun, the guys are getting so good at calling the moves now, its a struggle to stop laughing sometimes when we all do something completely different to what we are supposed to ... but thats half the fun sometimes...lol
Watching Sharon and Richard when they danced to Sharons favourite song still is the highlight for us all there, it isnt until you start these classes you realise just how much goes into the moves, sharon moves so effortlessly its an amazing dance with so much culture and passion behind it, if youve been to a class then youll understand just how much passion cuban salsa brings, when i dance with my fella its like someone turning on a light.. its that great to do and makes you feel incredible....theres a great party coming up so if you want to see cuban salsa at its best then get yourself across to http://www.dancecuban.net/ and book your ticket fast ! anyone who loves the salsa community will not want to miss this..
We all went along to the salsa boat last week, wow what a great night we all had... yes i was very drunk and found it amusing asking all the guys to dance that i havent dared to ask before, vodka definately gave me wings that night..........lol
noone (surprisingly) said no and it made the night memorable for me as some of these dancers ive always wanted to parter but just couldnt pluck up the courage to ask... they were gentlemen too as i remember falling on a couple of them with them holding me up whilst trying to carry on dancing................lol poor things
The view was amazing as the boat lit up the broads, all the people watching on land could see was a boat full of salsa addicts dancing the night away at full volume.... it was so much fun, ive never been out on one before so to salsa and sail was one for the armchair..
Many of our friends were there to share the night with us, which just added to what was a fantastic night for everyone, there wasnt much room to dance but after a few drinks with great music kicking up the party spirits noone seemed to mind.... lol
Hopefully this week we can start back to our lessons again, we may have worked the weekend but if it allows me to join my friends again and free up the week its worth the effort..
The good news is the landlord put in our new drains at the unit which were tested out to the max over the last few days and its worked............ no water not even a muddle outside so now thanks to him its one less worry.. I got to spend the whole day watching Farren in a pair of little shorts.. (i bet youre swearing stell...lol) i made him coffee and my fella gained a new member to his kitty site, he loves his football so it ended up a great finish to a really busy week for us..
Ive just got time to grab a bath and a cuppa and then start again, its going to be an alnighter tonight, but as i now have my music back, ill happily sing the night away while i work..
Have a great weekend you guys...........
