What a week!

In no particular order -

Since I last wrote I've been to the circus. We took some of our residents who really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it but I was dismayed that clowns were no longer PC. I wasn't expecting animals (elephants, lions and horses are long gone) but what's wrong with a clown? We did see motorbikes though! 

We also had a sponsored walk at work. About a dozen residents, three able to walk and the rest in wheelchairs. Staff one to one, and a few relatives came. I don't know how far we went but it was about 4 miles. The sun shone and it was lovely and warm. It took about 2 hours. It was so enjoyable but my god it's hard work pushing a wheelchair. I've probably only pushed a wheelchair a couple of metres before so a few miles was wow! My thighs and arms are aching. My resident was very patient with me and she didn't fall out once! I'm quite chuffed that she got back in one piece. 

Yet more size 12s. My yoga pants (XL) were driving Mark crackers because they were so baggy. Every time I wore them he'd tell me that they are supposed to be fitting. In the end he ordered me two new pairs from Victoria Secrets (great sale price). When they arrived they looked tiny and the label said size 8! I thought bloody Nora he's made a boob, they won't fit. But the label was in US sizes and they fit perfectly. See photo above lol! 

I am retired! Well, I mean I managed to fill in the paperwork to draw my pension. Considering I used to work for Citizens Advice and filled in all kinds of forms for others I found my pension papers so confusing! They shouldn't make it so difficult, with all their fancy words. I've yet to see any money so maybe I flunked it. Time will tell 

We've repaid our mortgage! How bloody is exciting is this! Just over 25 years like a chain around our necks but we are free. Whoop whoop. 

Off to Ripon (obviously) to celebrate. More about this next week. 

Have a fantastic weekend and I hope we all get a little more sunshine.

Feeling unfit and ugly? Exercise and just feel ugly.
