Wild flowers

 

I've been trying to grow wild flowers in the corner of my garden for 3 years. This spring I did a proper job, digging up all the grass down to the soil. Spreading the seeds and watering. It worked! Finally. And it's lovely. Thank you to Isaac who helped with the digging.

Now I'm going to be controversial. I try to avoid subjects that might ruffle feathers on my blog, I want to be open and honest but I certainly don't want to offend anyone. (Though occasionally I swear which I know offends, certainly some). Not sure why these thoughts came to me but I feel I can share because my lovely husband is one of the, potential, bad guys (tongue in cheek). It is my observation that folks that are naturally slim, who have never had to diet in their lives, struggle to understand the path that obese people walk. It's understandable, they eat what they want with no regard to losing weight and to them it is easy. They think that fat people eat too much, of the wrong things, and do not exercise enough. I'm not saying obese people eat healthily and run miles! But skinnies don't understand the why. Why do obese people hate their fatness and tuck into burger and chip? Why don't they go to exercise classes but sit on the sofa eating chocolate? I'm trying to be democratic. If you're a skinny and feel that I'm wrong, and you totally understand the battle of the fat person please let me know. I shall share it next week. I don't want to be narrow minded but hey, I make no apologies for my views, it is borne from experience. And I'm in no way trying to insult or anger anyone, but I see it as I see it. I'm happy to be proved wrong. 

In my endeavours to grow out my dyed hair I've been thinking of getting it cut, to speed up the process. I also have new growth which I could cut up to, to have it all one length. Part of me feels sick at cutting my long hair, and part of me feels this is a sensible move. Two birds, one stone. And make no bones about it, I will grow it the second it is cut. I've warned my hairdresser as she will struggle to cut it all off. I am going to be honest with you now, the only reason I can even remotely contemplate this is because I feel so different since losing weight. When I was fat I felt my flowing, long hair was the only thing I had! Literally. I liked getting compliments about my hair, people really liked it. But now I am slimmer I no longer feel that my hair defines me. I just a normal girl and I don't need to hide behind the mop on top of my head. 

Amazon Prime week started. We needed a new electric toothbrush so I went on to look. I spent over £100 and I never even saw the toothbrushes - all booze! Plus a big, huge, bag of peanut M&Ms. I'm a chocolate lush lol.

I have a busy weekend planned which I will update you with next week. Have fun everyone.

This is me and Mark lol -
