China

 

All week I've bobbed between 11st and 10st 13lb! So infuriating. I mean it's only one little pound but it's a huge chasm in my mentality. 

My diet needs to improve. Don't mistake this for being 'on a diet'. I won't be restricting or banning any foods. But I must eat more fruit and veg. The rainbow they say. 30 different ones every week. Some time ago I tried to have different plant foods daily but it's very hard. Who goes to the supermarket to buy one apply, one orange, a serving of grapes, half a banana, a handful of raspberries? You don't. So a punnet of raspberries lasts me a few days. Same with a melon or a cauliflower. I need to get better though. Healthy is good. 

This time next week we'll have started our journey to Antigua. Mark and I are going to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary over there. On Thursday we'll be staying at Ardoe House which is where we were married. Then Friday we fly to Heathrow from Aberdeen. Then to Antigua on Saturday. I'll be doing my usual - creating a what's app group for my holiday photos. If you want to be included just message me. Remember, it's an open forum for anyone to post messages, not just me. It's just a bit of fun and reminiscent of the olden days when you had printed pics that did the rounds lol. 

I checked my blog from last September when we were in Grenada. I've lost 2 stones since then, which really surprised me. I need to try on my holiday dresses - maybe they'll be too big for me now! Whoop whoop. 

I've always liked tea served in a china cup but don't usually do it, until now. I've realised that it really enhances the flavour of the tea. And I just adore it. Mark would strongly disagree, as would many others I guess. He likes a big, proper mug and would not be happy with a tea cup. This is my grandma's tea set, she died just before our wedding. This china has been in my sideboard all this time, but now I'm using it and it brings me such joy. 

Your spirit is easy to break, but not impossible to repair.
