Bluebell was back at work with me today for what is becoming her weekly visit. We are training for the Love Hope Strength Beach Hike in North Wales on Saturday the 17th. It’s a 10-mile coastal walk and I’ve been building this young lady up over the last month as until recently she hadn’t done much distance walking. I guess we are doing about 15 miles a week at the moment and she has taken to walking on the lead really well. I don’t think I will have enough time to work on her recall before the walk in terms of letting her off the lead. She remains a bit of a superstar at work getting lots of love and attention. However, Prince is still my complete number 1 and will be back with me tomorrow.
On my Instagram account today, I eluded to the fact that although I find this phrase very apt when I look at others, I have always found it difficult when looking inwards at myself. This is probably in no small part down to me being single, which makes it hard for me to see myself as attractive as I don’t feel others see me as attractive. Tomorrow I have an appointment at Dermatology about the mole on my lip and if removal is going to happen I’m already slightly anxious about any scarring that might be left. Then in the next few weeks I will find out more about the lump “downstairs” and whether I will need surgery for that, which will once again be a mental test as much as anything. Logically I know that in both cases there is a risk of cancer, so it’s a no brainer as far as having them removed, but I can’t help feeling a little anxious about appearing “ugly”… Yet I know what I would day to others…
