Saturday

 Hello, everyone, and a happy Saturday to you!  After a gorgeous day yesterday, we had rain overnight (mush needed so no complaints) and it is still cloudy and damp.  Not cold though. more like a light dressing gown start to the day.

Weigh in was disappointing - a maintain.  I was temporarily quite sad inside but at least it wasn't a gain!  Then I did a bit of a shop for things needed in the evening before coming home, sorting the house out, washing sheets, etc, and cooking for the evening.

Dave and Anna came round and we had a good old chat over supper.  They're hoping to complete on Monday morning which is very exciting and I have promised help whenever I can and whenever they need it.  They are doing a gradual transfer of stuff as their current home is not yet on the market.

Today, once a certain fragility caused by a slight over indulgence yesterday has worn off, I have ironing, meal prep, holiday planning and ironing on the list and, to get me out, a leaflet drop down my road and the avenues that go off it (weather permitting).

I also need to deal with the plant my student gave me on Monday as a thank you.  It's a small but very healthy looking camellia bush - well, a twig really but it's already sending out side shoots.  I won't give it a huge pot to start with, just one big enough for now, with a view to potting it on in due course.

Have a great day, everyone, whatever the weather is like for you.  xx

  1. I'll whisper until you're feeling better! Glad you had a lovely time with D & A. Is their new home close to you?

    It a shame about the maintain after you'd had a good week, but it is better than a gain which is what I had this week ... my portion sizes are creeping up again!

    We have sunshine today. I've already been out in the garden moving pots about this morning because the new planters will be here later on.

    1. Thank you! :-)
      It's actually a little further away from where they are now but not that far really. A short drive or a long walk.

      Looking forward to seeing some photos of the planters. xx

  2. Good news on the house completion - hope all goes to plan.
    The heavy drizzle (not enough to call rain)here this morning is very welcome but why on a Saturday Car Boot day?!

    1. Me too. It all sounds cut and dried and a bit of delay won't hurt Dave and Anna. The current owners have a removal lorry booked for seven in the morning.

  3. Plenty of water and a couple of paracetamol and you'll be right as rain..:-) It started off a bit grey this morning but wasn't cold. Sun's out now so hoping for a decent afternoon.

    1. I have od-ed on coffee but paracetamol wasn't needed which was nice. xx

  4. We have had lots of rain here but the next few days are supposed to be dry and much warmer which will be nice. Congrats to Dave and Anna on their house completion!
