Busy Busy Bee!

As I'm feeling very frustrated and quite frankly exhausted, I thought I would write a blog of the last few weeks.

I have started to go to physio weekly for my hand, which is a little bit unpredictable at the moment. I have exercises to do, but am feeling as though the physio is doing all the moving, and I'm unable to do the exercises on my own. Any help would be much appreciated.. :-)
Also, the physio had ordered an ankle support, to try to minimise my foot dropping and turning in all the time, but unfortunately, when it came it was too small and so my foot is still dropping.

The weekend before last was a busy one. On the Sunday, we went up to Edinburgh ("we" being my best friend Jill, Chris, and I) to watch the rugby, which was Scotland vs New Zealand. The highlight of this was definitely seeing the haka, the tribal "war cry" which was traditionally used to intimidate the opponants, and, to my surprise, I really enjoyed the rugby.

The weekend just gone was busier again. On thursday afternoon, Chris and I made a trek up to North Shields (by trek, I mean car ride :) ) to catch a ferry over to Amsterdam. What an eye opener that was. The ferry journey was long, tiring, and interrupted by dutch war films blasting out from the cabin next door, but it was worth it, as there are some beautiful and historical parts of Amsterdam. I had my eyes opened by women of all shapes and sizes dancing in glass doorways in their underwear, and then saw the wonder that was Anne Franks hiding place, and the Skinny Bridge. The only downfall was the pedal bikes. Beware to anyone who would like a nice calm stroll around Amsterdam... It isn't going to happen... You have to always be on your guard, and then be ready to pretty much ready to dive or jump out the way.
A funny thing that happened while we were there though, we saw someone who lives around 400 yards away from us!

Yesterday was a day with my best friend. A few months ago, I went with Jill to see the latest batman movie. Yesterday was payback! Cue, The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn Part Two... My guilty pleasure of Edward Cullen. It was amazing. The only problem was that it was the last film of the series! All in all, it was a great film, and all round a great day, which included coffee and Oreo Chocolate Cake and finished with a win at the bingo!

Following on from all of the above, I am tired and in a lot of pain. But it was all so, so worth it. Tonight has been a chilled out night, which included a lovely warm bowl of tomato soup and my Microwavable Beany Bear :)

Anyway...

I'll speak to you all later, hope you're all having a great night!
