How unfit am I? ...

Very! But more about that later!
This morning was a trip into town for a coffee and a catch up with one of my lovely SW friends!
I parked at Riverside and walked into Goddie, then back via an antiques centre! 2.59 miles!

Back home for a lunch of Bresaola, rocket, parmesan and lemon juice! Nice!
This evening .. hmmh .. had a go at circuits for the larger lady .. ouh! my knees didn't like it much!
I nearly fell off the cross trainer Bridget Jones style after 5 mins!!!!
My face turned a horrid shade of red ... what a hoot!
Still, I'll be back next week!
Salmon tikka, boiled rice and salad waiting for me when I got home.

That's good ...

Today at weigh in I had lost 1lb! That's what I needed .. only 3lbs to go till I hit the 3 stone mark!!!!!!!
Whizzed home, had the SW quiche and salad then whizzed off to my hairdressers .. a bit of colour and cut and back home in time for a nice cuppa and an Alpen light bar!
The Littlies are off to piano soon .. I think pasta bake for tea will warm us up a bit! Mighty chilly out there today!

Lovely weather ...

.. the Littlies went off on a surprise trip with their Father to London to see Jesus Christ Superstar, at the O2, on the train and because it was a lovely, bright, crisp day us Biggies went into town to look round the Italian market and popped into a photographic exhibition!
After lunch of salad, ham and baked potato we then went to gather a few caches round Alconbury .. a few miles which was nice as we met some other cachers on the way and between us managed to locate and retrieve a missing stash!  What a hoot!
In the evening off to the in-laws for lasagne, salad, summer berry pudding and a couple of milk chocolate aero balls! Naughty but nice!

Coffee and a chat!

Into town again this morning to meet with my friend for a cup of coffee and a 'put the world to right' chat! We love sitting by the river and chilling! ('twas chilly indeed!). Americano with hot milk! Nice
When she left for work .. I meandered around the Friday Market, which was busy, and got a few bits and bobs.  Had a brisk walk back to the car.

Who put that there?????....

....... Hotel Chocolat has a factory outlet shop in the next town! Awesome! I LOVE chocolate!!!!
But oh so naughty!  Tee hee!
Still the florantines are only 3 syns each!
A walk through town, window shopping was nice though something awful happened around lunch time. An out of control car took out two pedestrians around market square!
We, by then had gone off to check a cache out of town.
Bit of a pain getting a migraine ... could of done without that!!!  (hope it wasn't the chocolate!!!)
Still, Little Pink One was out at her BFF's house so the rest of us flew in a curry for tea...
Salmon tikka, plain boiled rice and a bit of a naan ... No one was up for cooking ... me with my banging head and the two male members of the family suffering with colds!
Did get another bit of a walk when we went to collect Little Pink One!

Up with the larks ...

... this morning ~ a stubborn tickle in my throat woke me at 5!!!!  Still I managed to go back to sleep to be rudely awakened at 7:25 by my alarm!!!!  Sorted The Littlies out for school, then off in coat & gloves for a walk in the park .. It was bracing across there!!!!!  2 miles under our belts and back home for a warm coffee and cereal!
Home made pea and ham soup for lunch made with the stock and vegetables left from the slow cook ham last night .. just whizzed up with some extra peas added and some of the left over ham! Delish!
A quick catch up with a friend over coffee and the Littlies were home from school ...
Salmon risotto for tea


and another walk around the block taking Little Pink One's friend home!

Yum ....

.. that hit the spot ...
Yummy Slimming World Quiche atop a mixed salad!


There's a ham, smelling gorgeous, in the slow cooker and I got myself a lovely bargain cardi from a lovely lady the other side of town .. what a good day so far!

Well that slow cook ham, fell to pieces and went down a treat!  Served with mixed vegetables and SW chips ... Very nice!


Phew .. these nights are getting chilly .. that was a brisk walk!!!
