I am not really in a writing mood. I still have this chest infection and tomorrow I am back at the hospital to see a skin specialist.

My skin has never looked so bad, I have developed some kind of rash that is across my forehead and all across my chin. I also have really dry skin at the moment and no matter how much moisturiser I use it won’t go away.

I hate going out looking like this. I hate feeling like this. This infection has really knocked me for six.

On a better note I have lost weight. Not as much as I would have liked but I am getting there.

Andy and myself are still riding together and we are discussing taking our Instructors Qualifications. I am getting all the details this weekend.

If we do decide to take it, we can do it part-time which is really handy. Apparently there is the Riding Stage Exam in December and we might just make it for that.

I will get Rupert on a horse yet and he will have no excuse once I am qualified.

Last night we were discussing Christmas. It was difficult last year. I always feel that we are missing someone out.

His Mum had over 40 people for dinner last year. Can you imagine the planning that took..? There were about 5 tables down the middle of the hall into the living room. Even then there was only just enough room and her house is not exactly small.

There were 4 massive turkeys and I was the only vegetarian there which was fun.

As soon as the meal was over we decamped to my parents house and chilled with a few beers.

So this year I would like to do Christmas at my parents. They never say anything about where we stay when we come home but I get the feeling they would like us both to stay at theirs more often.

Rupert is going to speak to his Mum to find out if she has anything planned, so then we can figure out what we are going to do.

And we haven’t even thought about New Year..!
