Fainting, horse riding and fireworks

Well this week has been eventful! Obviously the first part was the usual boring mush that seems to happen at uni then on Wednesday it all went interesting. Had my morning lecture as usual and then went home for a bit before heading back to uni to get a lift with Charlotte, Sian and India to a vet place that was over and hour away! Now the trip wasn't the exciting bit, in fact it was the biggest waste of time ever, there weren't even any horses and the tour was only 12 mins and considering the travelling time took over 2 hours was rather a wast but it is what wasn't meant to happen that is interesting. Now I was happily plodding along on the tour bored out of my mind when we are standing listening and I suddenly start to feel a bit sick. Thinking nothing of it I carry on standing and the sick feeling gets worse and worse. Eventually I walk toward my lecturer to say I need to go outside for some fresh air and  as I walk towards her my head starts spinning meaning she has to hold me up and as we walk outside my eyesight goes fussy and I  blank out for a second. Next thing I know I am outside and India has joined us and has a bottle of water for me. Within minutes of sitting down and having some water I felt fine again but everyone says I was a white as a sheet just before I walked out and I still have no idea why it happened, but it was very exciting, I have never fainted before! Also meant I got to miss the last bit of the boring talk.

So that was Wednesday's excitement now for Thursday. On Thursday I woke up at half 7 to get ready before heading off to the riding stables with Bea, Becky and Jo. Got there and found out I could ride Spotty the same horse as last time (we didn't get along too well last time but I wanted to try and improve and work out how to ride her). So on we got and straight away I felt a difference, I was so much more relaxed and as she is quite a forward going horse I just let her go at her pace rather than holding her back and fighting with her. This worked amazingly and by the end of the lesson we were working as a team and I was in love with her. The instructor said it was incredible difference from last time and I did amazingly. So that was good, then drove speedily back to Oxford, dropped the girls and got changed before driving exactly the same direction again back home to granny to join her and Auntie Ann for lunch in Prezzo (second Prezzo meal of the week with her lucky me) where I  had crab cakes again and then some past thing granny had last time. Then went to Primark and bought a new jacket (brown leather with a fluffy hood) which is so nice the inside is like dressing gown material so is really warm and love it. Granny wasn't in the best of forms she's really getting old now and starting to forget a lot and gets confused very easily like I had to order lunch for her as she couldn't remember what she liked and she got confused by the topping on the pizza etc.

Friday I saw George! She was home for her reading week so was so nice, went over to her house and had dinner and watched TV and chatted and things which was great and talked about her Birthday which is in a couple of weeks and I am going back up to Sheffield for so need to find an outfit for that.

Yesterday we went back to granny and then to pick up Nick so he could meet Auntie Ann and Coco. The drove back to his before heading off to the Wellington Fireworks! Now for anyone that knows me they know I LOVE fireworks so I was bouncing along like a little child and we got there, had a little walk around before deciding to line up for some food which took over and hour! By the time we got to the from the fireworks were starting but had a pretty good view anyway and the chicken burger was really nice. Then moved to another space to get an even better view of the fireworks and watched them while having a cuddle, was absolutely perfect. I know its so stupid and girly but I have always wanted to watch fireworks while being cuddled by my boyfriend and it had never happened before, always just been with friends and so this was like a dream come true and it was as perfect as I had hoped. The actually fireworks ere AMAZING! They honestly were the best I have ever seen but I wish they could have gone on forever, I could watch all night. Once they had finished we went a bit closer to take a look at the bonfire and then started the walk home with a quick stop at the shop to get some crisps and a drink. I was absolutely frozen by the time we got back to Nick's, body was nice and toasty from my new coat but fingers and nose were like ice cubes. All in all though has been a nice second half of the week and mummy is back on Tuesday yay :D Always feel like weekends go so quickly though, Nick is back to uni today, Auntie Ann has just left with Coco to go back to Wales and Bruno is in Bill's so it is rather lonely here I have to say.

One of the photos I took at the fireworks, it doesn't make them look very impressive but it was very difficult to get photos so this one I just thought looked quite pretty

Me and Spotty after our riding lesson on Thursday. She's a little tired but I think we make a good team and I think some very nice person should buy her for me haha

Hope you had a good weekend.
Diet is going so well by the way, am sooooo happy.
