April was full of ups and downs, a real roller-coaster of emotions.
Had a good easter but deprived of easter eggs due to my fitness and diet programme in a desperate attempt to get fit for my holiday. Then dropped to an all time low when holiday was cancelled due to the Islandic volcano.
Then, back up because the weather was so lovely. Back down when Mum became very ill and ended up in hospital due to a virus.
April ended on an up because I have managed to rebook my holiday and am now due to fly off on 11th May.
Spent the last 10 days stepping up my fitness regime and I can now do 6 miles a day, although it does take it out of me, and, I'm doing very well on my diet but I'm feeling starving all the time.
Just 4 days to go and I'm getting very excited (again) at the prospect of stuffing myself full of Chinese noodles and rice during our first day in Beijing.
If our flight had not been cancelled we would be on the plane right now coming home. Now we have the whole holiday still ahead of us and that wonderful feeling of anticipation and adventure for what we might experience.
Plus...............I've had FOUR big shopping trips for holiday 'essentials'........shoes and clothes, and more shoes!
To be cont.......
