We were trying to think about how we could sum this week up. 

 

After the triumph of a 13 mile walk on Sunday, the week looked like it was off to a brilliant start with both of us putting in extra time and walking extra miles. 

 

And then it was Tuesday, 'turning point Tuesday' and the rest of the week? The rest of the week can be likened very much to this beautiful moment...

 

Sal managed to pull her 'oblique' muscles apparently and spent Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in quite a lot of pain - however she is pleased to report that she is feeling much better now and it only hurts if she over stretches - which is great when opposed to just when she is breathing, laughing, sitting, standing....(a combination of tripping over Ruby the Westie and doing way, way too many sit ups - upsetting that it was no spectacular walking accident!) 

 

Becky has been nurse this week and looked after Sal - even though her knee was giving her a bit of a gentle reminder to slow down a bit on Monday. 

 

...Last night Ruby, Sals' Westie had an accident in the garden and surpassed both Becky and Sal - she has managed to put one paw out of action and bleed and is still hobbling around on three legs today with a bandage that makes her leg three times as wide and three times as long as it should be; naughty, bad first aider mummy- drama!

 

Becky’s' dog Bailey, we are pleased to report, is absolutely fit and healthy and ready to walk as many miles as he needs to in the name of charity.

   

So a far cry from last Sunday when we were getting ready to set out on an incredible journey, this week we are sitting on the sofa watching the 'Hollyoaks' omnibus in preparation for, hopefully, a better week!! 

 

Lots of Love 

 

Bex and Sal
