What A Week...

Hi Everyone...crikey we're heading towards the end of another week and it's scary how quickly Christmas is creeping up on us. At the beginning of the week I was polishing my halo having completed the last Simon Says Stamp DT projects for 2016...

feeling elated...excited and over the moon when a "beyond my wildest dreams" parcel of wonderful fabulousness arrived from Tim Holtz and Ranger late on Tuesday afternoon...
but I'd forgotten that old saying that pride comes before a fall and I can confirm that is definitely true because on yesterday morning's doggy stroll...I slipped on wet leaves and in an Olympian effort to stay on my feet and avoid hitting the ground with a thud..I twisted my back. Good patient I'm not...walking like a pregnant duck with pain shooting down my leg with every step...I had to admit defeat and rest up...my friends will tell you I don't do sitting around/watching TV very well but the "bear with a sore head" mood was averted when...as if by magic the postie came calling with the perfect excuse to take time out without feeling guilty...my little Christmas treat to me from me...
a signed copy of the story of the most talented and wonderful dressage horse ever...not signed by Valegro I hasten to add but by my hero...Carl Hester himself and woohoo...in the same delivery a special Christmas treat from M&S Bank.
They do say that the instant cure for muscle strain is to plunge yourself into an ice cold bath...sod that for a game of soldiers...I stuck with my tried and tested "works everytime" remedy...a painkiller or two and feet up snuggling a hot water bottle and woohoo it seems to have done the trick...I won't be running any marathons but the appointment with the knackers yard has been cancelled and I'm back in the swing...cubbyhole here I come.
