The Grand National

-

 I boycott the Grand National and all racing for two reasons. 

1- it’s animal cruelty. 

2- it glorifies gambling- which ruins lives

Fly Bite to the ear

 I keep titling these writings as 'a tiring day' which most of them are. I am absolutely exhausted and I just don't know how I will make it to the end of term. But I will- I will. Just take one day at a time like I normally do. Behaviour is getting alot more challenging to manage as the days go on. I want to change things up a bit but an still wary of covering all of the stuff that needs doing.   No walk for me tonight. I read my current book- Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen. It is a really interesting story about a boy battling several things as the book progresses. His mum seemingly is in the throws of a debilitating bout of depression and buildings all around his are falling to the ground, literally falling, and nobody can explain why.

I feel it calms me down and gives me a great opportunity to listen to one of the many podcasts of which I am a fan of.  I can honest say I always feel one hundred percent better after a walk. I usually aim for approximately an hour’s walk which usually ends up being about 3 miles. For this year I have set myself the challenge to walk 1000 miles. That’s actually going for walks- not my general walking about.  Last year I did 810 miles which I was proud of, but also I was disappointed not to reach the magical four figures.  So far I am 240 miles in. I’m a little bit behind where I should be- approximately 12 miles behind, but I am confident that I will catch that up over summer.

New bed- at last!

-
 We bought a new bed today. Well, not the whole bed, just the mattress. I actually don’t mind spending on a mattress for a couple of reasons.  One- it will last up to 15 years. If I play my cards right, I may retire before the bed runs out! Hmmm that’s a quite early retirement I can tell you.  Two- it’s an investment in your well being. I’m fully expecting to spring out of bed fresh as a daisy every morning rather than the current sluggish state I find myself in.  I’ll keep you posted.  Support me-  Support me on Patreon Like me on Facebook Like and subscribe on YouTube
