Walking at Polesden Lacey. Fair warmed my heart I tell you.

A Mystery

This was what I saw on the bonnet of my car this morning when I came down to drive to work.

I'm sure there is a perfectly rational and BORING explanation but I don't want to know it. To me, it is a wonderous mystery!

Polesden Lacey

It wasn't a great start. Took forever to get the car started. And even when it finally did I managed to stall it immediately and then it took forever to start it again. I was sacked from being the driver :(

And when we got there, at half past two, there was a sign saying they were shutting at three because of the bad weather.

But, for the 20 minutes or so we were there we had a brilliant time. Particularly, running down any and every slope we could find, no matter how insignificant.

Walking

A wanted to come with me when I went for my daily walk today. This was surprising as it was late and cold and snowing a blizzard.

She normally starts moaning after about two minutes. My feet are cold. I want to go home. I'll never be warm again. But today she was delightful.

We walked through the park, round the lake and back again. She held my hand and we chatted. It was bliss.

Trying out blogpress

I love my iPhone. I do everything with my iPhone. So obviously I want to blog from my iPhone. And now that I have installed the blogpress lite app, hopefully I can.

Let's see.

Oh and I'm testing out adding a photo as well. This is from yesterday's daily walk. The memorial gardens in the snow. I've loved walking in the snow.

FED UP, I am FED UP with being patient

No where else to put this so it'll have to be here.

I am fed up to the back teeth with being patient and not getting pregnant. I am fed up with seeing pregnant women EVERY where I go. I WANT to get pregnant now please, oh yes, and not lose it after 12 weeks.

Thank you

How many chances

How many chances do you think I can give myself at this post a day lark. I mean it's been something like 2 and a half (nearly 3 months) since I last posted. Whoops.

But then, I am the referee and judge and indeed creator of the rules, so I'm just going to allow myself to start again. I'm so kind and forgiving.

To be fair, I have not found the last 12 weeks or so very easy. I found out I was pregnant at the end of June, BRILLIANT. We were all pretty chuffed. But early pregnancy is tough. I felt very tired and a bit sick all the time (nothing like when I was pg with Miss Sharp but that's a whole other blog).

In August, just after my birthday I had a scan which showed that I had had a missed miscarriage. That's to say, the baby (I know it wasn't a baby, I was only 11 weeks, but it would have been our baby so baby it is) had stopped developing several weeks previously but my body didn't seem to know this. Everything else was still growing and supporting a futile pregnancy.

Not so brilliant.

The weeks following that scan were very difficult. I had to have an operation as I didn't miscarry naturally and I also managed to fall down the stairs and really hurt my back. Of course it was also very difficult emotionally for me and Mr Handy and Misses Sharp and Crazy.

But a few weeks later and the sadness dissipates and we are starting to think about trying again. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I am starting to become obsessed again, with temping and charting and cycles. I'm not a control freak for nothing.

Anyway (possibly the word I most overuse) I didn't start this blog to talk about fertility or our attempts to have a baby. So I won't go on about it. But I'm glad to have written a little something about it, to acknowledge that it happened.

See you tomorrow (yeah right HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
