Good , bad and indifferent

It's been a funny old week. Had the 2 year all clear from the cancer which was good. The bad was that so many of my friends have seriously I'll loved ones.

The mammogram was very painful this year and it's left me with a very sore boob, so very uncomfortable I even cancelled my session with Dave today. I'm seeing my surgeon Monday so I'll ask him about the pain, it's probably just the pressure of the machine on the scaring .

It's our 10th wedding anniversary this year so I thought I'd throw a bit of a party ...hubby is keen so that's not where the indifference comes in.

The indifference is me! Can't quite put my finger on it but there's something not quite right with me at the moment. There's nothing wrong with work, home or stuff like that. I'm well, we've just got two new hens , a poly tunnel and he's ordered a new shed so at least I can get into the garage!

broken bodies and not just mine


Paddy Cunningham you wanted weekly photos so here they are. Check me out in my new Olympic stuff ...( JJB online sale  - great bargains to be had!)

Yep - here is the comedy of this blog - me on the bosu....I actually think this is how Dave gets his kicks when I try and remember all the moves without falling off - 1 - touch toes, 2 - march on spot , 3 - step back off the bosu and return. Laugh! imagine 1, 3, 2 1,1,1,2 ,3 ,1,3,2,3,2,3 especially when I couldn't even remember what 2 was ...this was halfway though our session so I had already busted my balls at this point! and yes ...I'm laughing!
Now this gorgeous specimen is Lydia - she's onl;y 21 but has the hands of an ancient priestess - yep she is the person who puts me back together again. she gives the best massages in Cardiff and I'm not too proud to say she makes me scream! It's not just broken bodies she helps to mend ...she can help relax the best of them. Take my friend Betty Red and her lovely daughter Megan, they are really going through it at the moment, and the lovely Lisa and Lydia at Je Suis Spa helped to ease their pain for just a few hours. If you haven't read on my facebook or twitter about their plight then you are in for a shock but also a lot of inspiration. They're fighting to save someones life ...no shit! Just check outthe Fighting For Steve page.
So when I whinge about how much Dave makes me hurt ...I suck it up and think of how those girls must feel ..I just don't know how they carry on. They've even thought about having to fund raise just so they can fly him to get a second opinion ...no not in the states...just London! so watch out I may well be dusting off my running shoes and asking you to dig deep.

Hooked

Well blow me down .....I've spent all weekend watching the Olympics .....and I've really enjoyed it!

I've also taken the opportunity of the JJB sale to get myself some new clobber. Now I'm seeing Dave 3 times a week and with the dreadful British weather I came to the conclsuion I needed more stuff......nothing smells worse than the smell of damp Pugh in the washing basket!

This fella isnt Usain Bolt and infact it's not a great picture of hom....this is my very own personal abuser ....Dave!

You see that tyre ......the one by the wall ....that's my aim ....to shift my very own one and to flip that one.

Me and Dave have a pact ...he will work me as hard as he likes and I will call hime all the names under the sun as loud and as often as I like. It seems to work .....and if these last few session are anything to go by he's trying to make me throw up too!

I cant begin to tell you how sick i felt after this mornings session ....but hey I gotta start my training for the Oldies Olympics ...or at least get to a point where my knickers stay up and not disappear beneath my marsupial pouch.

Dave destroys my body , and tomorrow I'm gonna tell you a bit about the person who repairs it. Jeeze .....I think I'm gonna need lottery funding ....this stuff dont come cheap!

Ben Hurr and very shy people

Here they are my new shoes! Yes I  have footballers knees ...just trying to find out what decade they belong to! and yep that beast of a woman is me at 645 this morning getting ready to face Dave! Just so you dont think I'm totally mad the only thing I do on getting out of bed is scrub my teeth. i am paying him after all! Whats a bit of bed smell gonna mean to him when he makes me sweat like a shitting dog after 10 minutes!

 I love my time with Dave yes we have a huge laugh - you should have seen my boxing today, and me on a high step just makes us fall about in a fit of giggles ....123 ...dance! If only I knew my right from left ....although then it might be a bit too serious. Being a nosey old baggage I asked him what the coiled ropes were for.  Fail!!!!!!  I honestly think that this was possibly the worst question I could ask. I was told think Ben Hurr and chariot racing ....create the wave with the whip!Well Paddy Cunningham ...after these bad boys , power and speed I actually felt sick for the first time.
Oh and in other news ...I've booked the mammogram and follow up consultants appointment. Plus I've signed up to a 10 week beginners Spanish course ( hope they get enough people).
