Having fallen asleep in
front of the telly last night I woke at 1.30am and took myself off to
bed. A bit of a lie-in, and then a quick on-line survey over brekkie.
Lacey came to visit, and showed us her skipping skills, and told us
all about Rainbows. She's got a badge already. And she told us that
after Rainbows is Brownies, and then Cubs(!) I wonder if Brown
Owl knows that's how Brownies and Cubs are seen by the littluns these
days?
Once littlun had set off
to wherever it was she was going (apparently it involved a Panda
dressed as a person) we went out to collect the catalogues I had
delivered on Thursday. Quite a good return rate, really. And three
orders as well. Can't be bad.
Home; where I had a small
apple turnover and a cup of coffee for lunch. In days gone by I
wouldn't have thought anything about having had two of those
turnovers as well as some lunch. But when one is calorie counting,
one can scare one's self. And talking of calorie counting, the
morning's weigh in showed another pound gone since last week. Weight
loss has definitely slowed, but is progressing. Which (I suppose)
is some small consolation for being permanently hungry.
The Folkestonians
arrived, and once they'd done with the hair straighteners we went
round to the Fudgery for the rest of the family. And with a carfull
we made off to my brother's house for a family barbecue. A great time
was had by all; really should do the family thing more often. I got
to be father and son, husband and brother, uncle and cousin. And the
first fruit of my loin scored with a biddy fifty years his senior.
There's even one or two photos of the day on-line as well (if
you know where to look)
And I've got guts ache
now......
