Monday Quiet Time

 

Hello everyone,

I`m back feeling much better today.  Thanks for all your good wishes, it`s really nice to read them all. I`ve had a leisurely weekend for me, Jim is on late shift and apart from cooking Sunday dinner for Kerry and Roman I`ve not seen a soul.  I`m not complaining as it`s nice to have some quiet time to get online without being disturbed.

It was raining all last night and right through until about 10 this morning when the sun broke through the heavy clouds.  Since then it has gone from warm and sunny back to pretty darn cold, not at all the sort of weather we want for Summer.  My poor garden just hasn`t looked as nice this Spring as it usually does.  Only the Magnolia really tried to look spectacular but somehow didn`t quite make it.  I suppose all the other flowers will make another attempt at looking beautiful next year.

I`ve noticed that my weight has been creeping up again since Easter, what with the two boxes of chocolates I devoured and Jim`s birthday Guinness cake, it`s little wonder and I only have myself to blame...what do I do?  I never used to put weight on and for years I weighed little over 8 stones/112 lbs.  But over the last 5/6 years I`ve slowly been getting just that little bit bigger until one day I decided to weigh myself and found I`d put on 16 lbs.....!  Not a lot in the scheme of things but for me that`s a huge amount.  I must be more sensible about my eating habits, if I`m honest I love my food, especially all the things that are bad for me, the unhealthier the better...sigh.

Have any other you seen my guestbook in the All About Me section?  I put it in there successfully on Sunday morning.  Please feel free to sign it, sadly nobody has yet...lol!  Thanks again Jeannette for the instructions.  Oh yes, the rat.....I`m starting to wonder if it might have packed it`s bags and moved to another garden as I haven`t seen him for a while.  The cat who has been visiting has brought some of her feline friends along and I think said rat has decided to move on while he still can.  But whether he has or not, I haven`t forgotten about buying a trap....lol!

Right, that`s it from me for today.  I hope you`re all enjoying the Bank Holiday and that the weather is being kind to you.  Bye Bye for now and take care. :o)
