It is actually now 12:30 on Sunday (day 63 of my blog) and the sun is shining
This is my lunch & my sunny garden :)
I've been very busy & still have lots to do but as I have an empty house and a sunny garden I decided to reward myself with a sit down, blog-time, lunch & the Sunday Telegraph.
Yesterday was a really lovely day - for those of you who don't follow my every move on FB (these I call normal people!) - yesterday the youth of Pinner took over the service in our synagogue and Tobz took part in that. My mum and dad (& Andrew - it was a special day) came too and it was fabulous. All of them did a fantastic job and I was so proud and emotional (not too surprising!)
I'm not sure who was more nervous beforehand Toby or me so neither of us gad breakfast but I did gave a cup of black coffee to steady my nerves!!
Afterwards mum & dad came back to us for lunch - deli style. Mum is doing SW too (she's lost nearly two stone and it is starting to show now - very proud if her) so made sure there was plenty for us to eat. I had HB eggs, smoked salmon, smoked baked salmon, two types of herring, quark, tomatoes, beetroot and a green salad. Mum and I had Finn Crispbread (my current fave) whilst the boys had challah & beigels.
I put fennel in the salad - it was delicious - never bought it before but I will again. I tried chicory last week - definitely makes eating healthily more interesting.
We had plenty of cold drinks and fruit salad, which I had with FF fromage frais, for dessert.
Dad wanted cake/biscuits & I had nothing to give him (not really a bad thing as they are both diabetic) so I rummaged around and found some chocolate mints. Interestingly I wasn't even tempted - proud of me too!!
After lunch 'the boys' watched the cricket and mum and I had a good catch up - I love living here but sometimes I wish I was nearer to them so I could pop-in more often.
After they'd gone Toby & I set about sorting his bedroom and dismantling his bed in preparation for the new one - who needs the gym!!
Afterwards he went out and I had a sort through his clothes. Decided that he can do his own sorting of books, PS/XBox games etc. His room was filthy but at least the cleaner will be able to get in there on Tuesday.
Next it's Dom's but first we have to get the bits of bed-frame & old mattresses downstairs - that's for later!!
Had a small bowl of fruit salad with a mandarin yoghurt in the evening with a couple of glasses of squash but that was all as lunch was filling!!
Today I was up quite early so did some washing - now on line :)
Had some raspberries and FFFF then off to gym.
Burned off some more calories - very hard today but it was the first time I'd been twice in three days for ages so not surprising.
Went to butcher on the way home to buy meat for next weekend's IBB barbecue (40 people!!) as well as some bits for us.
Dropped Toby to his friend (they're off swimming) and here I am.
Will try to blog again later but if not - enjoy the lovely weather.
