Morning people!
I find myself up this morning on the couch with all my goodies around me. That’s my teddy ( or Alex’s I’ve had by my side every single night since left to live in Isle of Man) . I have also a few Psychologies magazines ready to ponder through. My wallet ready to buy a new copy of Susan’s book ‘ End the struggle and dance with life’ .
Also I’m still pondering the audible side of things. It’s worth a shot , especially if one can cancel at any time. I must get some head phones for my iPad though, unless of course I use phone in which case I’ve got ear piece’s.
Then of course I can use it or listen to Susan’s words of wisdom whilst on my walks , sounds blissful if yo ask me.. 🥰

I’m having a change of heart in my physical well being . I’m thinking of getting into Pilates , I’m in pain today with my groin and I’m really fed up with it. I’ve made contact with my old Yoga and Pilates teacher and I’m now booked for Wednesday 5th of January. I have tried Pilates before, but in those days my heart was into yoga.
I just need to find something that’s more gentle on my body. Last night I had a session with my personal trainer, although we only did upper body training. I think one will find that everything is linked and yes my groin is particularly hurting today.
Time is now 11:15 pm and I’ve had a full day of visiting my friend Rafa and doing a little shopping. Rafa made me the most delicious scrambled egg on toast oh my goodness.
Before this , I risked getting wet as it was lashing down as I decided to go and get my parking ticket. Then I forgot my lose change , as you do , so I had to go back to the van . I sat inside, wiped my glasses yet again and thought what am I doing?. Am I an idiot for shopping in this weather, I could easily do it on another day. Hey no I didn’t succumb to my chatter box brain or my lower self.I rustled out the coins from my hand made coin bag in the door pocket of my van and said I’m doing this!. I paid my fee’s then continued to the intended shop. This was the mountain warehouse. My intention was to buy a pair of walking shoes or boots. I entered the shop , had a look on the sale rack and then entered further into the shop.
After I quick peaky boo around I found the tower of boxes lined up with walking shoes and boots on them.
Everything was reduced, so that was tantalising good. I began to look through the few stacks , there were some I liked, but then they didn’t have my size of 9 . I found a pair in 9 and heck they felt a little tight. So I looked a more expensive pair of boots, still in the sale . They again didn’t have a 9 but I thought heck I’ll try a size 10! .
I’ve never worn anything of a larger size before but hey they are so comfortable. Whether I’ll see a difference as they wear in I don’t know but for half price it’s worth a shot. Ol’ Mr Positivity strikes again! . I could’ve quite easily put this shopping off to another day but I wasn’t giving to a old style Adrian.
These are the boots I bought. So we’ll see how I get on with them. For walking on uneven ground I thought it was best I get something supportive.
As a lot of years past , I went walking in formby pine dunes , wearing just trainers. Oh my gosh my feet were in agony for months. Eventually I had to go to physio therapy with a guy called Rick as I could hardly walk . Rick was practicing from a clinic in Shakespeare Street , Southport at the time. But now he has his own kingdom going. So Whether effectively the pain was coming from my damaged lower back at the time, well I think it was.
But I can remember being in agony on a landscape job Stewart and myself were creating in Holly Lane, Rufford. Thankfully Rick who is now a good friend , who I must go and see as we’ve not been in contact for ages, he sorted me out.
So yes I’m not wearing anything that doesn’t support my feet. Even when I completed The awesome. “ Total Warrior “ in Chap Cumbria, back in August 2018, I think I could’ve chose better foot wear, because it took me ages to recover from hamstring tendon problems. Hey was immense day. What a day. That’s for another read 😜. A day to remember 💥🥰👊💪.
Well my good friends of the land , this wonderful place we call home. I’ve had enough of your time , so it’s time to “ Fly like a bird” haha.Take care of yourselves ,
Love ,
Positively me xx.
