Hey guys! I’ve had lots of stuff I wanted to share, but la verdad, the mugginess these last few days has me feeling 🫣… just not in the mood for much!

My week started off really well, with a couple of strong training days 💪🏻, but since then I’ve been trying to rest and relax a bit more. I’ve done my standing practices, gone to acupuncture, but there’s been little else going on.

Earlier in the week, the district nurses came to see how my bum was doing… and I’m pleased to announce that my bum is looking better! 🤣🍑

When they came the week before, they were really worried about the redness and the fact that the circulation didn’t seem quite normal. This time, though, they told me they’re no longer worried about it and to carry on with whatever I’ve been doing. 🙌🏻

So that’s definitely a little win! ❤️

Who said you need to be standing up to get a workout?! 😂🥽

After posting yesterday about my walking, I realised my carer had taken loads of videos while I was having a go on the VR… so here I am 🤣

Honestly, I think she was more entertained watching me than I was playing! 😂

Yes, I’m sitting down, but there’s actually quite a lot going on — arms, hands, coordination, reactions… and probably a few questionable moves thrown in for good measure! 🤣

The best thing is, I’m moving without even thinking about it because I’m having FUN! 🙌🏻

Exercise doesn’t always have to feel like exercise… sometimes it can just be messing about in a VR headset looking completely ridiculous! 😂❤️

So last week I needed help to stand up, and this week I was able to stand and even walk a little too! 🙌🏻

Every week is different. It’s just important to keep trying, keep moving and make the most of the good weeks. 😊❤️

Yesterday was turning into a bit of a “hurty bum” kinda day again 😩

I’ve been staying off my bum as much as possible, but sometimes I obviously have to sit for certain things. And because I’m having to lie down more, it can get pretty boring… and uncomfortable!

So what do you do? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well, I’ve been practising my Italian every day (don’t think I’ve forgotten 😉), I’ve downloaded some audiobooks and I’ve been meditating 🙂 which might be the best thing to have restarted!

Then yesterday, I asked my carer to take me to the podium for a while, for fresh air and so I could do some standing practice… I managed 8 minutes 28 seconds! 🙌🏻💪🏻

Considering how difficult things have been lately, I’ll definitely take that little win! ❤️

Later, my husband took me to see the sunset from Europa…we don’t normally see it from here 😍

This morning we went to Rolli so Daryl could try his luck at catching something (unfortunately, no luck today 😂).

While we were there, I took the opportunity to stretch my arms and work on getting them behind my head. One of the things I’d love to be able to do again one day is my own hair!

I haven’t been able to bring my left arm back far enough… but today I DID! 😉🤘🏻

Sometimes progress isn’t about doing something huge. Sometimes it’s 8 minutes 28 seconds of standing, or moving your arm just a little bit further than yesterday.

And I’ll celebrate every single one of those wins. ❤️

Onwards and upwards! 🙌🏻

Went for a spin to the fair last night and decided to try my luck at winning a plant… unfortunately, my luck wasn’t in! 😕😂

After a wander around, we stopped to enjoy a beautiful sunset before heading to the Boat Owners Club for some dinner.

We hadn’t booked and they were fully booked, but somehow they managed to find us a table 🙌🏻

Although… I’m beginning to think taking my own chair everywhere might actually be a secret weapon! 😂 There was a table with two chairs, so I simply rolled up with mine and voilà — perfect for us! 😉♿️

Who needs a reservation when you come prepared with your own seat?! 😂

Yesterday was a difficult day, but there were still some beautiful moments to be grateful for…

My husband went fishing early in the morning and sent me this beautiful photo of the moon going down … and then he actually caught something! 🙌🏻 So we had a lovely fresh fish supper last night.

Then, yesterday afternoon, the OTs came through and delivered a new cushion for my chair 🙂 I’m so grateful for this!

No photos from the pool this morning, but thanks to my new cushion I was able to get out and enjoy some pool time. And hopefully I’ll even get a spin at the fair later!

As I always say, things can get hard, but there is always something to be grateful for or something that can make you happy — even if it’s just for a little while. ❤️

And it’s a wrap! 🐒❤️ I found all 10 apes! 🙌🏻

I absolutely loved going around Gibraltar searching for them — it was such a fun way to explore places I might not otherwise get to. 😊

Well done to all the artists involved in painting these so beautifully. They really do brighten up Gibraltar! ❤️

And today we saw the LAST ape!! 🐒❤️

This one was a little more hidden, but it was in the perfect place. 🥰

I absolutely love the Alameda Gardens. I used to live in Humphreys, so it was somewhere we’d go quite often, and being back there brought back so many lovely memories. ❤️

I don’t get there very often now because it can be difficult and awkward getting around in my wheelchair, but I’m so glad that this little monkey trail gave me a reason to go back. 🙌🏻

And while we were there, I spotted these very strange fruits that had fallen from a tree… They looked like tennis balls, only much harder! 😂

⚠️ Be careful none of them fall on you! 🤣

Does anyone know what they are?

Oh, and I got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes in this one… 🦟😂

So today we took a drive and I saw the ape at the apes Den ❤️ I really thought that this was my last one but once I went through all of them I realised that I still haven’t gone to the Alameda Gardens one…

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to finish the monkey trail 🙌🏻
