Good morning, gentle readers. It looks as if today is going to be another delightful day, just like yesterday. I hope so anyway.
After the swimming I fully expected to be
a) starving hungry
and
b) tired and in need of a snooze
but the truth was neither of those things. I felt pretty energetic and not only changed my bedding, I got everything washed (four loads, but two were smaller loads) and dried and also ironed. The ironing took longer than I expected because there was already a basketful but I watched the Olympic games as I ironed so it didn't seem too bad.
Apart from that, I did a bit of gardening, knitting and sewing, so it was a good and productive day finished off with a scrummy dinner of marmalade chicken (delicious) with a pile of runner beans which was delicious and so filling that I didn't even feel the urge to nibble.
I finished the first figure for the nativity set I am making for a friend. It's come out OK and I will get better at the construction, of which there is loads. I think my shepherd has a little too much upper arm muscle for easy construction as his arms looks a bit rotund so will go easier with the wadding next time. But, for a first go, I am pleased. He now just needs his stick/crook type thing which I will do later.
What do you think?
Today is housework - say no more!
And food:
B: yogurt with soft fruit and granola
L: probably an egg mayo wrap, apple
D: eating out. Probably steak with salad and a very few fries.
I think I need another coffee so I will stop rambling now and get a move on!
He's a very burly chap with a good set of guns!! I love him!
ReplyDeleteWell - he is a shepherd after all - they were a burly lot! If the others are better, I may just remake him - we will see.
ReplyDeleteHow's things with you?

What a productive, busy day! I know people say that exercise gives you energy, maybe it's true!
ReplyDeleteI think your muscular Shepherd looks great - he wouldn't have any trouble rescuing lost lambs :-)
I agree--shepherds are muscular, what with carrying sheep and lambs around when needed, He looks great.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right, Chrissy - I know you burn calories faster after exercise and, certainly, I felt energised.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting quite fond of my shepherd now. There will be another to join him soon. :-)
