Up The Farway Tree

Resting...a bit

I had a less physically challenging weekend - I decided I would do nothing in the garden and give my wee body a rest! I have been really tired, to the point I have randomly fallen asleep during the day, which I have never done (even when really unwell pre transplant). I think it might be the new drug for sinuses but it seems to be helping a bit so I am trying to persevere. These side effects should start to wear off after a while. I was however worried that it was a sign I was trying to fight off a virus as my temperature was also flickering a little. However this has now settled and I feel otherwise well so all seems to be on track.

I went to see Singing in the Rain musical in Edinburgh. It was very good and I really enjoyed it. I only knew two songs however so I missed that feeling of singing along (very quietly ;-) but it was still a lovely night out. Yesterday we went shopping because I was having a crisis of confidence. Since I had this operation in January my stomach swells up during the day. It looks ok-ish in the morning then by evening I can look 6 months pregnant. No kidding! I know people will say, oh but you are slim and it's ok.....but the fact I am otherwise slim makes it more noticeable (to me anyway!) I was struggling to find a top to wear on Saturday night so decided I would see if there was anything in the sales. I managed to get a few tops in New Look sale (oh I love their sale - you can get about 5 things for £20!) I could not think of a reason that little patent purple shoes would make the stomach issue better but I bought them anyway. To be fair everyone needs some purple patents shoes :-)

We have had Seb out for a few more walks off lead and he is loving it! There is a grassy, hilly route nearby that takes you several miles up to the country park but you can just do a circular route or turn back. So I have been taking Seb up there and he has been so good. He has still come back on every recall and been very good meeting other dogs. He doesn't go too far away and is always looking back to make sure we are still there. He was hilarious last night when I let him off - he bombed off at high speed then as we passed a wooden bench he jumped on at one end, ran along and jumped off then kept running - like he thought we were on an obstacle course! I reckon he would be good at agility....must look into that! I will have to get some pictures but for now I will leave you with some of Seb in the garden..

Something has caught his attention

Squirrel chase!

(I told him it was bed time - he ran outside and hid, only popping out for a photo!)
