Hi all
LJ. The new boot will be generous because it is essentially a station wagon ( I think SUV is considered more classy) but we did have a full boot in the old car because it was gas only so no petrol tank. The down side was there was no room for a spare and all we had was an aerosol can if we got a flat. Thankfully we never had to use it. Hopefully that is the last of the heavy digging, i found bricks and concrete slabs at our old place but now all I have to do is weed and boy, do i have plenty of that in my front garden. Your plan for food prep has a lot of merit. While it’s not the cheapest option, I can see how it would make it easy to choose the right option. Probably reduce wastage too. I’ve bookmarked that recipe site, looks good.
Lindsay. Sometimes life has a way of helping us to make the right decision. I had a similar situation where I felt I couldn’t continue with the work practices I was forced to implement particularly with totally inadequate staff numbers and I felt I had left the job unfinished. When I visited a few months later there was twice the staff and some of the changes I wanted made. A new boss had come in and made all the difference. I felt quite vindicated. My health improved, i started volunteering and I was able to mind my granddaughter once a week, all good changes. OH was very reluctant to retire as he was scared of it but bad eyesight forced him to give up work and now he loves having all that leisure. Trouble is you never get a day off. At least you can have this trial period and see how it works out. Have you chosen a name op for the new pup?
Neil. How did you fit in so much in just a week and rain as well. I didn’t realise that NZ has gold as well. That camping ground sounds quite heavenly, I bet you enjoyed all those animals as well.
Cinque. You sound so much better. I was beginning to wonder if you were going to well enough for our outing on Wednesday but provided your sister doesn’t tire you too much, I can see you will be fine.
Minka Great that you have found the magic formula. Considering I don’t think you have much to lose, 1kg a week is very impressive. You will have full access to your summer wardrobe now.
Well, big announcement. OH and I have just completed the 10k Melbourne Marathon run. I have trained a bit and had actually ran 10k a couple of weeks ago so I knew I had it in me but OH has only just decided to do this and only did one training run of 7k last week, He completed his run in 1hour 19 mins which is almost exactly twice his PB for 5k, a fantastic effort. I completed my run in 1hour 29 mins which is just over twice my 5k PB, a much better time than I expected. I managed to jog all the way including over a pesky bridge just short of the MCG. The family was there at the end to cheer us on and it was such a boost to share it with them. I’m so lucky that I have a healthy body with no joint issues etc at my age. I’ll post a photo once I have one.
