Week Thirty Six

Week thirty six was a good 'un, here are the highlights:

Monday was a Bank Holiday and, for once, the sun was shining!

Me and Paul had a lovely walk along the beach :)

Before enjoying a delicious lunch :)

Look how many moules this little piglet got through :)

On the way home I popped in to see my aunt, who had a gift for my mum, before going for a swim and then meeting the girls at bingo and handing over mum's gift :)

I had another good session at Zumba, I went in with a cluster headache and came out feeling much better!

I went for my Wednesday evening walk alone because my walking partner, Jo, was off enjoying her holiday.

So I popped in to see this mardy tart half way through my walk, she was very grumpy!

I lost 3.5lbs and was Slimmer of the Week for the second week running!

So dirty pudding tasted mighty fine :)

Alfie was over the moon that For The Love of Dogs was back on TV!

Ahhhhhh, Friday at last and work finished for the week :)

I had a lovely walk in the sunshine on Saturday, then the heavens opened and it was very wet for the rest of the day :(

Sunday was overcast but I still enjoyed a walk in the park with my buddies :)

It was hard to believe that conkers were already on the ground!

I donned my safety helmet and went out for a lovely ride on my bike

To watch my nephew Jack playing football.

And then I enjoyed the rest of the day relaxing and doing some crochet :)

This week will be a great one and I'm looking forward to my crop on Saturday, I haven't seen the girls for ages!

I hope the next seven days are kind to you, thanks for stopping by

Week Thirty Five

Week thirty five was another good one, here are the highlights:

Here I am tanned from the weekend and glowing from a 55 length swim :)

I decided it was time for a change of colour on my toes :)

I had a great time at Zumba with Jo :)

I saw this loony!

And gave this lot some swimming lessons :)

I lost 2.5lbs and was Slimmer of the Week!

So I really enjoyed dirty pudding :)

I had a most unwelcome visitor who was there one minute and gone the next!

I made it down to Paul's just in time to see the last fireworks of the season :)

We went for a lovely walk and enjoyed a bit of people watching :)

With Autumn, my favourite time of year, just around the corner I decided it was time to get something on my hook :)

The weather wasn't great when I went for a walk but the beach was still packed!

It's so easy to get my daily 10,000 steps done when I've got the beach to walk along :)

I made some delicious, Slimming World, Lemon Curd Tartlets :)

And then spent the evening working on my ripple blanket :)

All in all it was a lovely, quiet week.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by

Week Thirty Four

Week thirty four was brilliant, here are the (photo heavy) highlights:

I cleaned the Smart car :)

I swam over a mile :)

I had a great Zumba session :)

And really noticed how the hard work is paying off, photo 1 was 01/01/16, photo 2 was 01/07/16, photo 3 was 17/08/16!

I did a 4 mile walk with a stop halfway to use the outdoor gym with a really great view.

Alfie had a visit from his friend Sarah and sent me this photo while I was at work :)

I maintained my weight loss this week but still enjoyed dirty pudding :)

I had Friday off work and went on a wet road trip

To a very wet destination!

But the sun did finally arrive :)

And so did the Red Arrows!

We ate...

And we drank :)

I spotted a photo of Paul on the Bournemouth Echo website!

Saturday was windy, very, very windy! There was an exceptionally high spring tide and parts of the beach, including the entertainment stage, were flooded!

And I could hardly take my eyes off of the amazing sea.  Me and my brothers and sisters have always loved swimming in rough seas and I wished they'd been there with me :)

We drank...

And we ate :)

And then it was my turn to appear on the Bournemouth Echo website :)

My heart was racing as I watched the Red Arrows perform in incredibly strong winds!

On Sunday the sun shone and the winds had died down.

We watched the Navy battle pirates (not the Long John Silver variety!)

And we watched the Red Arrows again.

And we ate!

Before, happy and tanned, it was time for me to head home.

To see my little girl and give her a massive Custard Cream!

So there was a lot of eating and drinking this weekend but me and Paul always treat the Air Show weekend as our annual holiday and we did walk over 25 miles!

I hope you have a great week and thanks for stopping by
