Well I have had another new experience this week and no it didn’t involve rugby players before you start with the comments Reuben! I went bird watching and It was very entertaining. As we drove down to the estuary there were swarms and swarms of middle aged men with binoculars and huge lenses. They looked like paparazzi. I really thought Pippa Middleton must be mud wrestling with all the excitement brewing. It turned out it was for peak tide which is when you get the most number of birds (and not of the Kate Moss variety).

A few minutes after getting there this ‘bubbly’ lady came up to Soph and I all excited as she never seen women her age bird watching (I’m quite sure we were a lot younger!). After getting her entire life story (with highlights from her bird watching adventures) she explained about a great place on the coast to go twitching. She told Soph that she could go bird watching and I could go SHOPPING! I was quite offended, I was carrying binoculars and everything (admittedly for someone else). Well we fell about laughing, how did she know that, I hadn’t even spoken? On that note, I feel an ASOS session coming on 😉

On the illness front I seem to be doing quite well (touch wood) the change is clearly doing me good. I managed the bird watching which involved a short walk and there were no incidents. I still have to rest after doing activities but hey, at least I’m managing to do things that are more exciting than staying still on a bed! Lets hope this good patch lasts for while 🙂
