Blog for day four

The days seem to be getting more and more difficult as they go on.
The wind was so strong today. The van was blowing everywhere. We lost dave when we dropped him on a cycle path and drove ahead…the cycle path went through London I think! Daft!
we found Dave two hours later after many worried faces from moi and Dimitri telling me ‘I don’t know’ as I constantly badgered him about what to do. I recon age can sometimes be a good thing as it gives you more experience….not in this case however, we were both as clueless as ever.
I’ve been a bit emotional today, nearly cried a few times for several reasons. I feel like Dave’s my responsibility for some reason and if I loose him it’s my fault… I know he can look after himself but it doesn’t stop me worrying. When I have children I’m going to be a nightmare over protective mother!!!
Queen ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ came on on one of my CD’s….this is the song I chose to play at my mum’s funeral in 2004. It makes me smile but also sad. Lots of little things at the moment are making me think of my mum…I can associate almost anything with her. In the paper it felt wrong not to read ‘she’s leaving her mum, dad, sister etc etc etc’…instead it just said Dad, Sister etc. I miss her at the moment. Mostly because I want her to see how well I’m doing and what I’m doing. I want her to meet Dave and the team.
Moving on to a slightly lighter note, we’re in Aviemore. We’ve reached our destination for today…target is all in order and we’re settled in a pub….hmmm, no change there.
tomorrw is dalwhinnie. No problems there. Dave’s exhausted and we’ve got to keep his levels up….it’s hard but we’re going to do it. So to all those people who have doubt…..ner ner ner ner ner!
