Car Boot for crazy people

Well when I planned a carboot for November in September I did think the weather may let me down, I thought it may rain. Snow and freezing conditions I didn't expect. So at the start of today with snow still on the ground and car temps registering -14 we ran a car boot. First off my camper van would not start, she prefers the warmth. So everything was rushed into my tiny lupo. About 9 cars arrived, set up ace stalls and then waited! The sun gradually filled the boat yard and our sensation in our feet gradually left us. We made a few sales but found our stalls were icing over. When my left over coffee froze I realised it was time to call it a day and head to the pub. Still it was a fun morning and a great test of our kili clothing!!!

Lathkill dale walk

Today 9 of the gang met at 10:30 in Monyash for a 10 mile walk to Over Haddon and along lathkill dale. There were a couple of very steep bits but overall less than the Eyam walk. However much colder this time and it had started to get dark by the time we got back to Monyash. However the walk was great and it's fab to get to know others on the trip. It's all starting to happen at speed now.

Kili Pub Quiz

Well after much planning the quiz night was a great success as was the raffle. The place was packed out and was a great way of getting what we are doing known as well as having fun. Money is still coming in but looks like it made about £800! I was so manic all night I totally forgot to take any pics. Now just the carboot next weekend.

Last Sunday was the footie match and we started trying to get some group pics, easier said than done!!!

More walking with ma

This week Blacks did us an event night, due to a small visit to Rotherham ED with young Daniel I missed the presentation but was able to purchase a few items as well as a few more when they did a second night at Millets. It was great to have so many assistants available to offer advice and to have the stores all to ourselves. I think I have most things now!

Despite every forecast prior to a walk saying heavy rain once more we were really luck and rain only hit 5 mins after arriving home. The day started fresh and sunny and we went past some beautiful houses and lovely countryside. On the final part we totally lost the path and ended up doing a couple of extra miles on the road but this was all good!

This is also the 3rd weekend with no alcohol! I can feel it doing me good but after some walks a nice glass of wine wouldn't go amiss!!

I'm also doing more at the gym and had a go at Zumba this weekend. Some say you don't need to be co-ordinated to do it, they've never seen me!

I did a trial run of Diamox to see what side effects I have with it. I didn't find it bad at all, the main one was that fizzy drinks tasted vile! 4 months to go! However only 2 weeks until thequiz night, agh!!
