A pigeon couple are having babies. Apparently they share the job of sitting on the eggs and at the time of day of this photo it should be Mr Pigeon in the nest. Cute.
My sugar free campaign hasn't been too bad, a lot less of everything has been consumer - alcohol, sweets and biscuits. Until Wednesday that is. Driving back down to Newcastle with Ellie on our way to Ragdale Hall. My mouth was incredibly dry and unpleasant so I just had to shop and get a bag of boiled sweets - butter mintoes, and the relief was immense. I pick the mintoes as they are so hard you can't chew them, you have to suck. This means that one lasts ages and I'm therefore not needing to have a load in a small period of time, thus reducing the sugar consumption. I've got a moisturising gel which helps a little but I don't like it. Makes me gag a bit I must say. But I am using it, honest gov.
Mark has been replacing the runners on the drawers of the bedroom furniture. Last week it was our bedside cabinets. He tipped the contents of mine onto the bedroom floor - to make it easy for sorting lol. Now this drawer is the size of a shoe box (I'd say high heeled shoes so not tiny but small). It was crammed full, and I'm going to share what I found. 35 hair bobbles (don't you just love the word bobble?), 14 pens, 7 cosy socks (now added to my cosy sock drawer that I sorted the other week lol), 6 poems scribbled on scrap paper, 4 buttons, 3 cigarette lighters, 2 paperclips, 1 safety pin, 1 large screw, 1 £1 paper note, and 1 diamond ring (my engagement ring from my first spouse - it's stunning and I'm thinking I might get it sized and just wear it - Ellie is not interested in it at all, as her biological father was a twat! But a diamond ring is a diamond ring, no?). There was a couple of sweet notes from Mark - he has on very limited occasions been a tad romantic, hence I kept them. Also a note from Ellie telling me that she and the baby (Isaac in my tummy) loved me very much♥️. Isaac is 25 next month so that's how old the note is. Making Ellie about 6 years old, bless her. Wow!
We go to Ragdale Hall spa on Monday for 4 nights and I'm super excited. It is the best place ever, I wish I could take you all. The rooms, the food, the activities, treatments, spa (obviously), all the pools and the new cocktail bar is just a treat. I've got 2 books with me and the forecast is for hot and sunny, meaning hopefully we'll be in the outside pool and taking in some sun rays! I've got my factor 30, don't worry. 4 blissful days of not wearing clothes - just a robe, apart from when gym attire or swimsuit is required of course! It's not a nudist camp (alas, as I could easier just be naked ha ha).
Have a great week everyone and we'll speak again next Friday. 😍
A wound doesn't heal if you keep picking at the scab.
