Friday evening, 26-07-24

Evening, one and all, the weekend is nigh and we have had a lovely, sunny day.  How good is that, eh?

First of all . . .

. . .here you go.  It worked.  Even without the correct sized hole or a base, the table kept the parasol steady and it was lovely sitting out to have breakfast and then lunch.  It was very easy to set up and dismantle too.

Then, later on, I had the beginnings of a migraine with those visual disturbances so I grabbed some paracetamol, reclined in the chair, in the shade, eyes closed, and when I woke up everything was OK again except that I was, and still am, rather worn out.
Nothing a good night won't sort, for sure.

I went to Slimming World, as always, and was thrilled that I lost weight again, I'm now back into single figure stones and very close to getting back into my happy range (officially, it is called 'target range' but I prefer 'happy range'!).

Then I went next door to Morrisons to do a bit of fruit and veg shopping which should last me until the new month now, especially as my next Slimming World Kitchen box landed on the doorstep, came home, sorted everything out and away and then chilled.

I saw this on Facebook and from now on, every time I am tempted to say 'lazy', I will remind myself . . .


Good, isn't it?

Well, it is time to switch off, wind down, do some knitting and a bit of telly watching and slowly drift into sleepy mode.
Sweet dreams, everyone.  xx

  1. Joy, I struggled to read your post on the weird background but a weight watching food box sounds interesting. What kind of stuff is in it.

    1. I'm not sure what you mean by the weird background, Cherie. It looks white to me on desktop and tablet, and on my phone the background is very faded and the text is as clear as a bell. Very odd and I'm sorry.
      Anyway - SWK - I'll do a paragraph or so about it on t'other blog as a separate post post because it's really too big to put in a comment. Hope that's OK.

  4. Well, look at that. Your chair, table and parasol are the perfect setup, but where are the drinks? ;)
    I'm glad you managed to fend off the migraine, and hope you feel better for a good night's sleep. Xx

  7. Loved the little list of alternatives to ' I did nothing '.
    BTW for a while now I'm struggling to read your lovely blog because the font has shrunk - how strange is that - other blogs aren't affected otherwise I'd be automatically blaming my ageing I Pad 😉😀

    1. That's very odd because I have changed nothing. Can you enlarge it on the screen. Really sorry - I am not sure what I can do because I haven't changed settings or anything.
      It's a good list, isn't it?

  8. I like 'happy range' such a nice phrase to use. Not that I'm anywhere near mine at the moment. Loved the alternative list. It made me smile.

    1. It feels softer and more friendly than 'target' to my ears. xx
