Have managed to do a flying swan dive hopping in from the rain when my crutches slipped on a shiny floor.. so feeling even more sore if thats possible, everywhere

frustration with the plaster caste running high but also huge respect and little more understanding what people have to face who live with disabilities, how dependant you become and how your world shrinks

im discovering some ways to get round a few of the restrictions and spending more time on my knees as easier option to carrying things..

It is very late and i should be asleep, but...

i cant sleep and think a cup of tea and piece of chocolate cake might help, but it doesnt..

the photos below are from a trip to lappland with my son a few years ago about this time. There wasnt much daylight, so the colors are a little blue

we went here hoping to see lots of snow, the northern lights and moose.. we didnt really see the northern lights thou got up many times in the night to see if they were there, mostly lots of stars and some green thou the colors in the sky at dawn and dusk were very beautiful

the snow was incredible, we rolled down banks of snow and walked across frozen lakes, deep in snow

and the moose, they were elusive, so we drove to a moose sanctury where we fed them bananas :) and like all things when you re not looking suddenly they are there, like the first flakes of snow in winter.. we drove out to a beautiful place where several mountain ranges meet and along the way several moose crossed the road infront of us and then stood in the trees perfectly still, so we were not supposed to know they were there

we stayed in a small wooden cabin next to the frozen lake , surrounded by snow and with a log fire going, it was very peaceful

foot thoughts

my toes are turning blue but it seems need to take it more easy and the plaster caste man said my fracture was the best one to have as it would heal well.. i think i have an avulsion fracture of my little toe metatarsal.. hope this means i have the 'dancer' one

Few flakes of snow whirling

out of a grey sky... feeling a little blue. missed few of the stairs at home and broke a long bone in my foot, so hopping around on crutches.. guess this may have knocked a few things on the head but guess need to see this as an opportunity for something else

Ice Hotel

Just before Christmas a few years ago, we arrived late at night at the ice hotel in Lappland. It was cold, about minus 25 and driving down the icy slope through the entrance was pretty scary. The stillness of the frozen night and excitement being there was huge.

Remember big piles of frozen snow everywhere.. we parked in an empty space and tried to connect the car with a cable to an electric parking meter to keep the car warm overnight. But this night i was soo tired and it was dark and remember following a cable that was attached to this meter to find out what was the other end of a big pile of snow, so then i thought id just give it a small tug and bang...the lights from the big Christmas tree outside the ice hotel all went off..

Fish and Chips

last night my small black cat mr fluffy, smelt of fish and chips...
when he saw me eating some, he made the biggest noise ive ever heard him make until i gave up and let him finish them
