Brae. A gay woman's tale!

Even though it is a “guie dreech” day (which is Scottish for wet and miserable!) … I managed to drag myself out of bed and head up to the gym for a swim … only 30 lengths today as my arthritis is playing me up but at least it loosened me up a wee bit.

On the way home I thought I would treat myself and my partner Ros to a breakfast roll (sometimes the diet has to be put to one side!) … however, eating it proved to be a little bit of a problem! …  my new family addition Pixie, joined Sprout and Jak the cat in watching every mouthful… they had all just been fed too! … Gawd knows how I have a weight problem with these moochers around!

It has been a fortnight since Pixie joined the clan. A very happy fortnight too! she has been a wee angel, not one problem and Sprout loves having a wee sister (although Pixie is 10 months older than she is, she is a lot smaller than the eleflump that is Sprout!) … but both are great dogs, friendly, cuddly … even if they do like to bark!

It doesn’t look as if my wee black cat Duffy is coming home. This is the third cat of mine that has disappeared… plus one killed on the road at the end of the lane.

I have decided no more cats… and so today Pixie joined the family!

She is a wee rescue dog… a Chorkie!!! She is a lovely wee thing and so tiny!

A lovely swim tonight at Silversands beach in Aberdour…the water was surprising warm(er) than I was expecting…. came across two problems… 1) my legs kept rising because I was wearing my wet suit and 2) my hi biz float kept slipping and tangling round my legs! Really enjoyed tonight and feel totally invigorated!! Loved it, loved it, loved it!

After all the hoohaa with my sister being in hospital, work and a holiday… my exercise routine was not as it should have been.

I decided to get back on track today… Spinning class, 30 lengths then 45 minutes Aqua aerobics.

I am now flat out on the sofa complaining like mad about my stiff legs! I feel good though!
