Cardio Workouts for Chronic Pain

October 15, 2014

  Getting fit has been a priority of mine since I realised I’d fallen into a vicious cycle of chronic pain and poor fitness.  I wasn’t going to feel better for as long as I didn’t exercise so establishing a manageable regime that worked me out without […]

Getting Fit | Big Boobs & Body Pain

August 20, 2014

My fitness and physique has bothered me for a while.  Suffering periods of low self esteem and falling into depressive crevices, I realised my unhappiness had begun to reflect in my appearance.  Confining myself to the comforts of home had taken its toll, both physically and […]

2026 is here ✨ This wasn’t today though. Thi 2026 is here ✨ 

This wasn’t today though. This was the last day of 2025 (yesterday) but it was just as cold. It was a frosty day and we ended up playing with the ice in the frozen ponds at Fountains Abbey. Just breaking it up, smashing it through with twigs and releasing air bubbles. Didn’t actually see the abbey. Just played with ice. Most unexpected fun ever. 😄

This was the week before Christmas when we went up to the Northern Sinfonia concert and made a visit to Fenwick’s Christmas window display. This year’s theme was A Christmas Carol which was really well done. I loved the scene where Scrooge is being flown over the town by the ghost of yet to come. And we spotted our own living room fireplace tiling surround in the Crachit household. 😂

Sometimes Christmas is a strange old one. I’d be Sometimes Christmas is a strange old one. I’d been reflecting on how this time ten years ago we were facing Dad’s last Christmas. And here we were, facing another abnormal Christmas with Mum being hospitalised. It’s hard doing the festivities when all is not well with the folks. Thankfully we were still at least able to go see Mum on her ward so we took her presents in to her. A few hours later we were on to my sister’s house. We opened presents, ate yummy festive food and wished Mum was home. Despite all this, Reuben was glad to see his cousins. It wasn’t normal but Christmas was had. 🎄

We decided to go to church’s second Christmas special service over in Barnard Castle and had a little time beforehand for a bit of shopping and go for a hot chocolate. And cakes too it transpired. Reuben chose a Bounty cake, Sean went for an apricot and mango cake and I got the fun (and yummy) Rudolph eclair.  It’s nice to find new little gems. 😊

Is everyone managing to find moments to chill out this crazy week? 🎄
