Oh happy day, my walk involved a lot of unexpected mud. Our lovely woodland walk is normally fairly dry, but not yesterday. I don\u2019t know quite how it has got all muddy all of a sudden, but it was wonderful and I got absolutely filthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It made up for the journey there. You would think if you\u2019ve only got to go a mile on the motorway you would be ready to get off at your junction. No. Mum was far too busy talking to Dad and sailed straight past. That wouldn\u2019t be too much of a problem normally, but it happens to be a very long way to the next point you can get off the motorway to turn around. Not only that but there were traffic jams. It should only take us thirteen minutes to get to the woods. It took about forty. Mum has promised to pay more attention in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum is back to the old chestnut of \u2018What new year\u2019s resolutions are you planning to make, Wilma?\u2019 My response of \u2018to eat more apples\u2019 was not considered acceptable and I\u2019ve been sent away to think about what I want to achieve this year. I just want to be happy and I don\u2019t think there is anything much more than that I want out of life. I could give Mum a list of the usuals \u2018lose weight, blah blah blah\u2019 but the problem is that there is no point making resolutions I have no intention of keeping. Oh I do want to lose weight, I\u2019m just not very good at putting any effort in to achieving it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m going to sit down with Ari later and see what we can come up with to keep Mum happy. It\u2019s easier for him as all he has to do is tell her the things he wants to achieve in the garden and she\u2019ll be happy. I guess I have to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
