After randomly bumping into someone from the horse & pony sanctuary while I was taking a picture of their sign, from tomorrow I will be volunteering there. & hopefully, in time, will get to ride the horses. So super excited!

This is obviously now a bit redundant. But, figuring it is still 2 & a half months away, it's not an impossibility. If anything, I'll just get him a nice thoughtful gift to make up for Christmas.

My mum turned round the other day really casually & said "oh, I found this ... it's yours isn't it?" so now I have it, I just need to treat myself to some (very) expensive film for it.

I just booked myself an appointment to give blood on Wednesday. Genuinely terrified, but it'll be just fine, I'm sure.

Run #1 - 5th January (yeah, I started a little early, so what)
Run #2 - 6th January - admittedly, not a very long run, but I still went out in the rain & wind, to make an effort!

While I was tempted to get rid of this, I wanted to leave it here as a reminder that I was excited about it. (As if the notes in my diary won't be enough!) but also, you don't have to be someone's girlfriend to do something nice for them for their birthday, even though I'm sure it'll have to be a little late, 4 months isn't a very long time away!
