Even though I have constant pain and tiredness I still try and have some fun sometimes, especially now both of my (very supportive) kids have their own homes and I don't have to worry about them any more.
About 18 months ago my daughter bought me a Powerboat Taster lesson for my birthday. It was in Southampton which is a fair drive so the pair of us went down together and then had a lovely weekend together on the Isle of Wight afterwards.
Unfortunately I became addicted to boats!
So last year I took a 2 day Royal Yacht Association course in PowerBoat Handling and gained my International PowerBoat Licence. It was fantastic fun but hard work, especially on the hands, but worth it. The next few weeks had to be spent recovering but I find that if I dose up with enough painkillers beforehand and rest well afterwards then I can afford these occasional heavy weekends.
..and I am going again next Friday! Yay!
My husband and a few of his diving friends are taking the club boat down to Plymouth to spend a weekend on the water just playing with the boat. LOTS of warm clothing needed especially on wrists and ankles but I sooo looking forward to it.
I will let you know how it goes :)
