    Hello ladies!

    At this stage of my life, I can eat unfamiliar food, or be away from the restroom, but doing both is quite the risk. So my travel is limited which is okay because I have seen my share of the world. My favorite vacation was a beach resort.

    I just did twenty-five minutes on my bike, after weighing myself. I did splurge this weekend, and my scale knows. Oh well, back in the saddle. It's dumbbells tonight.

    Rita, so sorry to hear of your Chihuahua's heart troubles. So sad that our fur babies don't last.

    Heather Edie is so impressive! Wow!

    And you asked what my therapist thought of my lapse/moody spell. She didn't say much at all, which is making me wonder if it's time for a change. She thinks I need to get out of the house more. But she is not on board with the whole diet/exercise struggle. She's not against it, but somehow it all gets brushed aside. Hmm. It's a major part of my quiet life.

    The pattern is that as soon as I lose a few pounds, I get sloppy and stop losing. I stop turning down things I know I shouldn't eat. It feels like I have built up a cushion so I can afford to eat a few extras, but I overdo it. I don't regret eating a nice meal out, but I did eat too many of the muffins I bought for breakfast. And I skipped too much exercise, which probably made the spell feel worse. Anyway, I hope to be back on track now.

    Here are some professional photos of Edie doing her triathlon at the National Training Centre in Crystal Palace. She does have swimming coaching, but the biking and running she does on her own. Occasionally the family go to a track. There were 51 girls competing and a lot of them belonged to triathlon clubs! Edie came 10th. :D<3
    The photos are obscured because they want you to buy them, but you can get the idea. I can't get over how grown up she looks! <3

    I need to repair or replace my glasses. I plan to start with a chat with my daughter. We haven’t been here long & she will have good ideas about good businesses to get things done. I’ll be chatting with her soon. This has gone on too long & is resulting in headaches & eye pain for me.

    I’ll give her a call soon.

    Good evening ladies!

    Today I ate 1328 calories which is high for me. But I did my bike and my dumbbells for a deficit of 191. Yay!

    Machka - Where did you graduate from. Proms were huge where I grew up and for my girls. I went to prom with my best friend when she graduated. I quit school. Her class would have been my graduation class.

    Tracey in Edmonton

    Small school in northern Alberta.

    There was the grad dance at the end of Grade 12 for the graduating class (all 20 of us or whatever it was), but I think American proms are for the whole school toward the end of the school year, not just the graduating class.

    After kirby got hit by the car back when we were in Tacoma, part of his ailments that he was left with was something called central cord syndrome. Without any warning he can loose control of his bowel movements, meaning as hard as he can try to control his butt muscles to hold his poop in so he will have an accident wherever we may be. He doesn’t know when it will happen and it happens very randomly so I have him put on a diaper while we are on his walks JUST in case. It happened while we were walking the kids not too long ago and he didn’t have a diaper on so I walked behind him and had him tie his windbreaker around his waist to cover up the mess, we made it to a bathroom and he INSISTED on continuing with the 6 mile walk, we had about 4 miles to go. Soooo, he is getting an MRI to see if there is anything new they can find out to solve that problem or that’s just how his life is going to be.

    Good morning ladies!

    Pip - love love love your thick hair! It's beautiful! Was sorry to hear about Kirby's digestive issues, glad he can be prepared for them. As someone mentioned, this seems to happen to nearly all of us now and then as we get older for various reasons.

    Hi, ladies. Been trying to catch up and reading from page 18 now. So much happening with everyone. My trip to Ireland was wonderful. Such a beautiful country and we were treated so well everywhere we went. I think Ireland values the tourist industry. The couple I travelled with were amazing. It was the first time I travelled with anyone for years as I normally go solo so I was a bit nervous. They were both so nice and I enjoyed their company. Never complained about anything and were so enthusiastic about all we saw. I think we got a good overview of Ireland and saw many amazing sites from castles to cathedrals. We went to the area of Cork which was where my grandfather would have immigrated from and went through a replica of a famine ship. Was surprised to hear that the original ship was built from lumber that came from Quebec. Meals and accommodation were very good. We were even treated to an evening of entertainment by the Celtic Steps which was fabulous.

    The one downside was a couple on the tour were coughing when we first met up for the meet/greet. As the tour progressed I saw more people getting sick. The bus was pretty full with about 40 people. I think the tour director could have lessened the risk of germs spreading if he had set up a sanitizing station for people to use every time they entered the bus. A simple bottle of hand sanitizer for everyone to use before entering and touching the handrails which everyone used would have helped. I got sick the day I returned. It was not an ordinary head cold but one that was fever, hacking cough and extreme tiredness. Ended up in bed for 6 days. The couple I travelled with came down with it the day they left for Belfast so their extended trip was ruined and then they had to fly back to Canada with this head cold. Not a pleasant situation for them.

    I love travelling but not sure I will do the escorted bus tours again or at least stay away from the bigger bus tours.

    Now back to reality. Trying to get my garden planted. Just have a few more things to put in this morning. It has cooled off a bit as it has been very hot here. Now we are dealing with smoke from all the fires going on around us. I feel for all the people being evacuated. Looks like we are going to have a couple of days of cooler weather, then back up to hot again with maybe some reprieve in site next week with hopefully some much needed rain.

    DH has just started working on the field and will be seeding by the end of the week. Just seeding one quarter of barley this year. Due to all this hot, dry weather have decided to take two quarters out of production and just summerfallow them this year.

    Joy

    I'm glad you had a nice time there. :)


    I think I'd have worn a mask in that situation. I'm considering starting to wear one on our public transportation.

    Tried to book an exhibition and lunch in June with G in Chichester. Gwen John, who I love. Inadvertently booked for this afternoon, so had to ring them and get the ticket changed. :o All is well. G has booked lunch at the gallery. It's not long before the cruise, so I hope I won't be feeling too neurotic!! :p
    Also trying to arrange a birthday lunch with DH's cricket friend. Proving hard to find a mutually convenient day. I don't like doing too many things together and certainly not meals out.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
