Healthy Living

I've stopped having a glass of wine each night.


Pity we've not finished the sherry.

It was a good start though, wasn't it?

12th night

Christmas takes a week to put up and a week to take down. There's just the star left in the kitchen ...


... and the tree in the front room.



Remember this walk and the teacup I took a picture of (drooled over)?

What did Santa (DH) bring me for Christmas?


Whoo! I feel another tea party coming on.

Many thanks for all your birthday wishes. I'm chuffed to little mintballs!
Welcome new follower. Deja-vu!

Resolutions going great guns

Crochet one granny square a day. I've managed more than that ...


... and I've passed Grannymania on to 2 other members of the family.


It's hard work keeping up these resolutions and it's only the 4th January.

Keep active

Walkies time with our visitors.


We passed some beautiful railings,


some beautiful stonework,


a different pattern outside each door


and guess where we ended up? 




I know what's at the end now because the tide was out. It's not that exciting.


Looks like some sort of sports equipment. Anyone for basket ball?


It was a sunny but very windy day. These birds were sailing on the wind.


I'm afraid we had to call at the local hostelry for our lunch - I did have a salad (good) but then I hoovered up some left-over chips (not good). It was a good start though, wasn't it?

Hello to my new followers. I hope you enjoy your visits.

Healthy Eating

I've made a start.

Breakfast: fruit salad (blueberries, raspberries, melon and pineapple - all left over from our birthday, Christmas, New Year, 'why don't we have a party' party!)

Lunch: salad (lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, coleslaw - tut, tut - all left over from the party!) with a bread bun.

Evening meal: curry (onions, peppers, cabbage, carrot, peas, thin strips of beef - leftovers from party and yesterday's roast) with rice. Er - and chips! And for afters I had apple crumble and ice-cream - ooh-er.

I did say that I'd made a start! I'll try for the whole day tomorrow.
