Good stuff

Its monday.. i have to say coming back to work feels pretty good today, its been a non stop week but really good... me and my fella both feel tired so its been a bit of a joke today, hes been to meetings looking like he needs matchsticks to stay awake....

Im still giggling about Saturday, i had a text message from cheryl that started me off again (i wished id had decent batteries in my camera.. my fellas been giggling all weekend about me being able to fly.... Ivans now joined my facebook community and has promised me another flying lesson next time we see him... im so glad i didnt wear a dress that night !!

its your turn next cheryl..... weeeeeeeeeeeeee do what i did, shut your eyes piss yourself laughing and pray..

Its riding tonight......... so ill be sitting there at least 2 hours before the lesson all ready to go, watching the clock, im glad i ride late at night as i love being out there when the suns setting, but the hours between getting home from work and leaving to ride drag on.... so i may just have to slot something else in there, or perhaps have an extra long lesson, im always starving when i get home covered in mud but on such a high.... its what makes me work quicker mondays too, its my reward to working hard (thats what i call it anyway) lol

Yesterday we hit the beach, the kids were all having such a good time, we went collecting limpets and had such a good time, i love being near the sea, its so inspiring, i always come back like a new pin adding things on that wish list.... its the first time ive got my bikini out this year, but hopefully not the last..... it was beautiful...

What is it about sunshine that makes everything seem so easy, everyone smiles, everyone feels happy, we actually start to appreciate just what good stuff we have around here in norfolk...

I didnt realise until i started the riding and dancing, just how much good stuff is going on here, most nights now we are out enjoying dancing or mother natures gifts... i honestly think this is going to be the best year yet..

I used to laugh about people saying life begins at 40.........

Now i understand exactly where they are coming from...... Im loving this year already, and im only half way through it !! lol

Have a great monday everyone...........

Postcards

God the weather is so beautiful and I'm stuck working.............lol

Its been a bit manic today, last nights photos came out a bit too dark so i have to re due them again tomorrow, i think it may have had something to do with taking the kids with us to the unit..oops my fella was a bit stressed and wasn't as focused as he has been recently, hes now refusing to do anymore if the kids are with me.. oops again !

They were a bit hard work well 2 were, within five min's my daughter was bored and decided she would start sweeping up muck everywhere, so we had to stop and come home.....

So what was going to be a dinner out on the way home ended up as beans on toast instead..lol

Today has flown by, my sister and grandparents are having a great time on their holiday, so Ive been thinking about them on that beach all afternoon.... :)

Ive had my pep talk from my fella today...as every ones off or booking breaks, so hes tried to inspire me and tell me if i work hard enough and keep digging deep, next year i can go ... but doesn't next year seem a long way off sometimes.......... if i dig much deeper than i am, ill be in Australia anyway without needing the flight....lol

Anyway Ive listened, am happy and will of course keep smiling and wholeheartedly wish you all a very happy holiday if you are now setting out or planning yours...

P.S if you don't have enough luggage to fill up your case though (I'm only small) and will fit in nicely ....

Just need an hours notice so i can drop the kids at the local kennel first ........ lol

Sandy Thoughts

Have you ever been to bed to wake and not feel like you've had any sleep..

You'll know where I'm coming from then....lol

Yesterday was a really difficult one, i had so many issues to sort out and get straight in my mind but i gradually got through the list...

We had a really good night though with me hitting the vodka putting the world to rights...

I did get a really lovely peace of music sent to me though by my friend Darius, (which was beautiful ,thank you) and am going to try and persuade him to submit some of his poetry to roses blog

http://roses-definitelybeautiful.blogspot.com/ as he writes so well ...

Today i am riding its the one thing on Saturdays i really look forward to now, so although my fellas working today and Ive got the kids, hes taking a day off tomorrow to take us out, so im happy......

Were going to the beach tonight, my sister and her hubby may be coming too, so it could be a really good giggle, its been ages since Ive met up with her... i wonder if shes up for camping..lol

Ive been thinking alot this week about a holiday, my sister goes away soon and then Estelle so i may go book something to slot right in the middle...Ive also got Paris to do again in 2 weeks so I'm gonna stay an extra night or so and ship the gear back, that way i wont have to sleep in a car again, theres a show on that i have to go and see, so im gonna surprise my fella .....lol

The update on David is they are doing a full body scan today, i spoke to his parents last night and am going to visit him later, but i have to go water all his plants this morning and feed the fish, his fish let you feed them by hand, so i really enjoy sitting there by myself and forgetting i really live in the noisy house next door...lol

Have a great day everyone, make the most of this beautiful weather..................

Sunset

What a weekend... i hope today's as good as yesterday...

I spent an afternoon yesterday entertaining myself and the kids, the day flew by, but I'm happy as my home is now my home again the garden looks amazing so I'm happy...

I went to pick fruit with the kids(ate most of it as we went along) but they were so well behaved and didn't argue once.. it makes such a difference having Ryan back....

My fella got home around 7 and instead of having his meal ready i had a pile of clothes sitting there, told him to get changed and took him out for the evening...

We didn't do anything glam, just went and got fish and chips and sat by the beach.....as it was such a beautiful night

The sunset was amazing, there were also a really friendly group there all camping having a beach party...

They had lit the beach up and were really having such a great time so i sat there listening to the music in my element, its just what was needed after a hard week, mother nature always has a way of making me smile whether its getting me soaked or feeling that sun on your face... things that cost nothing except a little time, I'm not gonna get into a life of being so busy I lose the things I love... so ill make sure i make more time... its too precious not to...

I'm going out this week buying a decent sized tent and going to sleep on that beach.. Ive always wanted to do it, so decided its next on my list....

Have a great day everyone ...............

Friends Reunited

Had a brilliant day today we caught up with an a couple we used to be good friends with who moved away and now thankfully are back....

He asked us to go surfing with him before but never got the chance, so its now on for the weekend .... i cant wait........lol

The beach they use is the one next to my photo beach, so i even know the way there, what fun this will be, i know im gonna love it and have a real giggle....

We were talking about soceity and what it does to people and things we discussed before, they are now doing so it made me think, apparently being self suffiencient is everything its cracked up to be and they are living proof...

My fella really gets on with him so well, hes a total free spirit and always so carefree so its lovely to have them back ...

The great thing is my eldest son is his boys best friend so we can take the kids with us and let them lose to just play...now that really does add the icing to the cake..

welcome back whens the beach party .........lol
