It nearly that time again....

The other day I thought spring was on the way. Today totally ruined that idea!! I woke up to frost and this afternoon when I left work it was snowing!! It snowed a good part of the afternoon.

Kristian was off work yesterday and today with a bad cold, so my wish came true and I got the car to take Leah horse riding. She had a great time. In fact she had such a great time that she forgot to leave back the riding boots, and helmet that we borrowed from the centre. We were on the road home when we realised she still had on all the gear. I didnt even notice she had it on!! (She can borrow stuff fromt he centre so we dont have to buy everything all at once. It also gives us a chance to see if she likes it before we invest in the all the stuff!) So we had to quickly find a place to turn the car and head back and confess that we had had a big time senior moment!! Ooops - better pay more attention next time!!

Go-kart season is soon starting (OH NOOOO!!) and Sara and Kristian are sooooo looking forward to it. Sara has got the loan of a cart for the whole season. It is just amazing how it all worked out. To buy a used cart for the class she is racing in this year would cost around £1500 without a motor!!! We just couldnt afford this, but a racing team came to her and said they would sponsor a cart for her with a motor!!

So tonight Kristian and Sara went down to see the cart and to work at putting the cart together. (Kristian is feeling a lot better this evening - amazing how quickly a man can get better when a go-kart is involved!! haha)

Next weekend they drive with Winnie and her brother to Belgium for a 3 day training camp. They are like a couple of kids waiting for Christmas. Sara is training hard every day so she can take the pressure. The big problem is the head and neck. You get so tired when racing that your head sort of hangs in the end....so she is training up those neck muscles. I must admit she is doing well. But the neck muscles are not the only muscles getting trained. She told me to punch her in the stomach the other day. I did - and she tightened those muscles....it was like hitting a wall. Amazing girl!!

Sara is so happy to be able to race yet again.

As for me - I have had a fantastic day. I have been getting home late every day this week from work, like between 5pm and 6pm. By the time you make dinner and clear up the evening has gone.

Today I was home at 2.45pm. It was wonderful. I had nothing on for once. Leah also had no friends home today and so we just relaxed together. (Andrew was out with his friend) I was so tired that I fell asleep on the sofa and woke at 4.30pm.

Andrew was eating at his friends, so Leah and I had a cosy night in front of the TV, eating our dinner. It´s not too often we sit in the living room and eat and we enjoyed ourselves while the snow was blazing around outside. Yes, its been a lovely day.
