Day of hospitals & Doctors & laziness...

Up and about early today - appointment at 'The Rivers' hospital in Sawbridgeworth...a private establishment & one can see why people with dosh use them (good old NHS paying for me...). Lovely green driveway complete with a BEAUTY of a green woodpecker watching me as I arrived...appointment at 8.15 ... only me there - no lights, dr, nurse, other worried patients...peace:). Anyway examined, in places I don't wish to talk about & going back Friday for ultrasound & Monday for consultant again... Right now (7.45 pm) I'm at the doctors waiting for the results of my wee, x-ray & blood tests from 2 weeks ago - stand by to get told off for cholesterol at the very least :)

Breath...Relax....Ahhhh...

Sat in pub with my NEW netbook (and I'm chuffed to bits with it...)

watching the world go by - by a bus station - in Stevenage - atmosphere... zero...cider 10/10.

It's half term, and in the depths of my dark and depressed winter of discontent ( at myself more than with the world at large) I thought that this would probably be my last half term. Feel better now - BUT...

Anyway - it's a half term offering hospitals, doctors, mother and grandchildren, coffee, wine, ale..and hopefully a job for Suzie :)

#getfitordie cont....

Phew - two days on the trot !! Feeling completely knackered right now...in a good way.

Mind you, yesterday's fish'n chips and lovely bottle of Italian red wasn't exactly part of the new regime :)


Nearly made it under 30 min :)


Lovely morning though.

So, what's been happening in the Fazey-Wood household 2011 so far?

Well, we had a cracking Christmas in Portland with the brood....

Santa sent Suzie a new hat :)

Then a quiet (if depressive couple of months in the grey of Feb - March...) we did some walking...

Brookmans Park...

and around the evocative Hormead Church


and SPRING arrived and Easter.... which means CAMPING at Westfleet in the Fazey-Wood household...

....and there was the new arrival :)

Next....Whitsun !!

The Future....

Here they are.....

Welcome Little Boy....

Lots of love...

Fat and getting olderrrrrr…..

Problem

Here I am, nearing 55 and coming to the end of a depressed, overeating, overindulging winter….

E.G. I’m a tad ‘overweight’

ALSO – there’s a distinct possibility I might have to teach PE to lots of energetic and enthusiastic young children at school from the Autumn term…LIKE THIS errrr noway hozay….

Solution

Well, obvious really – lose weight and get fit…

SO – as of today I’ve embarked on a ‘regime’…AND given myself an incentive of a holiday

The intention is to get one of these…

across the water to here …

and run in the 10k ‘fun run’ in August …

( oh and visit Tiree as well)

Mother’s ‘Day’–83 years young :)

 

Quantro coffee to finish birthday bash meal….

A few pics from the album….

                  

           

And long may this all continue

Sunday into Monday…

After the non-events of Saturday (mind you the Chinese and chillaxed evening were perfectly fine), made my way over Mother’s in Chesham to find … SNOW!!

Mind you, Mother looks fine (if you ignore the sciatica )

Merry Christmas etc.…..

Decided to get back into gear and keep a running blog this Yule season (and if I really get going to keep this up to date and move away from Facebook….)

So (what a limp way to start!!), what’s happened so far?

RELAXED start to the season

Friday 17th

Had a relaxed evening with fellow badders people – long time friends for Suzie; big part of her life.

Saturday 18th

Peter was supposed to :

a) Watch Watford play Preston North End in the afternoon,

b) Then wander off to Luton for school christmas bash…

Suzie was supposed to go to St Stephen’s for the last dance bash before christmas ….

BUT

it snowed

So the world came to a stop….

Big Birds

I grew up, in the main, around Chesham chasing dragonflies and seeing nothing bigger flying around than rooks & crows...Now there's these beautiful things....

The REALLY great news is that they appear to have found their way to us in Bengeo as well - saw THREE wandering overhead yesterday...cool :)

The Nest–reborn!!

As it was….

 

 

NOW!!!!

Chairs here next week and display cabinets fairly soon after…

We ARE two very happy bunnies in our nice little nest
