Does that mean a fish supper later?

Not today. Mr WD will be an upset boy

I’ve lost a whole pound this week Better than nothing I suppose. It would take me around 4 months to lose what I want at that rate.

Salut. Blue sky and sunshine today. As it will not last past today, I shall make the most of it and go for a ride later.

I have risen!

A sunny start. Will do the grass, out visiting PM.

Will they let you onto Downing Street, or are you meeting up elsewhere?

 

[classic33]

Does that mean you have a seat on the cabinet?

They've run out of chairs/seating already.

I put on 2lb in the last 9 days, a lot of eating and drinking was involved, it will be gone by Friday, hopefully.

It takes me a long time to see results the older I’ve got, but I am determined this time. The last couple of years have been miserable carrying excess weight, especially in warm weather.

My daughter has had a lot of work done on her garden and they have made a pond, so they want some weed and plants. Enter mum and dad to the rescue.

Big enough for fish? I love when I visit dad’s old neighbour as he has had a pond in his garden for years. I’m sure he said some of his Koi were around 30 years old. Could that be right?

Who'll be Weed and who'll be Plants?

Much easier, I think, to show them which to buy. Certainly drier for the pair of you.

They can go up to 40 years old, plenty around 15 to 30 years old.

I know what you are talking about but I have no idea why I thought a small bird will be up and running.

Morning all . Off out cycling in a min , that’s makes three weeks in a row now . It’s amazing what a telling of from a doctor can to one’s resolve. 😂😂.
I’ve been told,a month ago, I have the early stages of a fatty liver disease, so have been advised to 1) drink less alcohol, 2) eat less ( lose weight ) and 3 ) exercise more .
Progress so.
1) Easy, alcohol consumption halved to 10 units a week and more alcohol free days to give the liver more time to recover. ( Doctor very happy with this level of consumption 😀)
3) Going ok, cycling at least once a week and volunteering 2 to 3 a week instead of 1 to 2 times . ( All the groups l volunteer for are for wildlife groups so involve a lot of land management so are all physical.)
2) No going quite so well, I have lost about 4 pounds so far, only at least 2 more stone to go . My problem is I do love the big three, Cake, Crisps and Chocolate 😂😀
Anyway wish me luck cycling as I am finding rides over 20 miles are murder. I used to do that with out thinking, shows how unfit I have got ☹️
