Happy 70th Birthday to my sister, not that she ever reads this blog! We will be celebrating together next weekend.

It was raining during our walk. Mal and I were chatting and we hadn’t noticed that Ellie was paddling in the really dirty stream! Straight in the bath when we arrived home. She stank. This isn’t her but you get the situation?!

The rain stopped later so I decided to go and deliver some leaflets for Rhys’s business. I got quite a way and the rain started again, I just got wet!  I can’t believe how dirty letter boxes are and what long drives people around here have.

I haven’t mentioned it before because I was waiting to see if it worked but I have put on weight ever since I stopped smoking, having developed a sweet tooth. I then started to think, I am getting older and I know hips and knees may start going, not that I have any problems at the moment. So, in February I went to Slimming World, affectionately know to me as “Fat Club”. I have never thought about dieting and quite honestly with SW, it doesn’t seem as though you are because it is all about food optimisation. I go every Monday evening and last night achieved my 2 stone lost certificate. It’s a bit like getting your mile certificate for swimming when you were at school! I know I only lost half a pound this week but that was good considering I had all that food over my birthday week! I expected to have put some back on.  I don’t obsess over it, just try and stick to it.

When I came back from SW, Mal and I went to The Punch Tavern for dinner, see you can still eat out!

Mal has put some runner bean plants in our back garden against the fence. He has some at both allotments and here as he knows how much I love them. Well, I looked at them this evening and the slugs have munched three of the plants and snapped them off.  I presume it is slugs as I have seen a lot amongst the flowers, so we will have to do something about that.

Thought for the day – “Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.”
