waking & surfing

….. wakesurfing! A couple of Saturdays ago, for the first time ever, a leg of the European Wakesurf Tour was held in the UK down at JB Waterski. Did I compete – of course I did. I hadn’t actually wake surfed for over a year; I sucked, and came 6th (last) but I didn’t care because I just wanted to have fun. And fun I did as Georgie Boyers put on a stella event which meant that as a baby-free mum for the day, I got to enjoy lakeside yoga, a bit of wake surfing followed by a back massage, smooch round the trade stands and some yummy food! Thanks for a great event, can’t wait till next years!

(I might actually get to practice next time around as there are no more babies to be had. None. No more. Done. Factory closed. Finito).

I can’t wait…

Yes, obviously I can’t wait to meet our little being and to finally know if its a boy or a girl! However, I also can’t wait for all the things I’ve had to stop doing / avoid / give up during these past nine, absolutely magical months.

1. Wakeboarding. First things first. Get me on a board asap. Thank you please.

2. Red wine. Its my vice. I usually enjoy a glass most nights with dinner, I have done for years, I love it, its my thing. Also as a parent I find its like a ‘well done’ for getting through another day of keeping your child alive.

3. Surfing. Already provisionally booked a week at the coast to get my fix in July. The ocean; its a pure love thing, I just need it.

4. Workouts. What is there to say, you know I love working out…. To add insult to injury, Jon has dusted off his free weights and invested in a bench. He smugly sneaks off to the garage in the evenings leaving me sitting on my pregnant ass, watching rubbish TV eating a Mars ice-cream bar (my new fav thing). I can’t wait to get my hands on those weights as part of my ‘get back in shape, again’ routine.

5. Brie / mussels / goats cheese / beer / pate / runny eggs / port / champers. The list goes on for all the foods I miss eating/drinking. I just want a huge wedge of brie with a big fat glass of port. Ta.
