Day 975

I am going to leave it relatively short and sweet today as we had a long, but super, day and I am very ready for an early night!

I say that but I am historically awful at going to bed. It is a miracle and a blessing that Wee Daftie didn’t inherit that from me!

She might get this from me, however.

We set off bright and early in glorious, freezing, sunshine to meet up with one of my Mammy Mates. We have been planning a walk together for over a week now but the weather has not been our friend so it was great to finally to it today. I had grand designs for walking to my friend’s house but this month has been wearing us both out (in the best way) and neither myself nor my little idiot woke up early enough!

This was the walk from my friend’s house to the bus stop home. Not bad, eh? Wee Daftie genuinely walked about half of this all by herself. Wee champ.

The weather was lovely and bright and really great for walking. We made two little stops along the way for the littlies to climb about a playground and then later on for Wee Daftie to chat to some swans and ducks. Oh and some moorhens, coots, seagulls, goosanders and pigeons. Oh AND the lovely lady in the coffee shop.

Climbing Daftie Monkey. She can be so fearless as it was pretty effing high.

Wibbly wobbly.

We smashed our steps well before we got home so whatever running about the house we did later on was just the icing on the cake.

We both absolutely enjoyed our morning with our friends but, just as importantly, she enjoyed the walking. She even asked if we could go again. This makes me so happy as I come from a family of walkers. We Murphys love a good walk. She has very little choice whether or not I make her walk but it makes it easier that she likes it! As a well done for being such a superstar, we had a hot choccy treat after lunch. (I may have needed it more than her. I was basically ice when we got home)
