So disappointed at how disrespectful @CMOIreland was when talking about #Donegal . We have been in lockdown for so long and the vast majority of us are compliant. However everyone has their breaking point. Rather than give out to us why not target this county for more vaccines.

We did it!!! 4 mountains, 3 provinces, 2 crutches,1 day (ish) COMPLETE!!! I am so overwhelmed I don't really know where to begin! It has been 1 of the most humbling experiences of my life. It was also 1 of the toughest. My poor body is in bits but I'm going to bed a happy lady!❤

I never used to enjoy walking on a treadmill. I always thought it was boring. This morning I walked on one for the first time with my prosthetic and I loved it! This was me just trying it out, by the end of my session I had upped the speed and upped the incline. 💗

In other news I have learned that when men are together they talk about the following things: 1) Sandwiches. And whether salad cream is acceptable or not. 2) Guns. 3) Women. 4) How much they can insult each other and how quickly that can happen. The joys of an all male team😅

Them "Don't look down!" Me "Why not?" You need to look down to see what's down there. It could be amazing. Yesterday, while climbing Muckish I did look down & the view was insane! It was scary being so high up.....but you can't rise to the top if you're afraid to look down 💪
