Two Halves of the Same Day
The weather here in the last few weeks has been lovely. Temps as high as 30C.
The boys decided to jet wash the garden at the weekend and did a great job.
Unfortunately the weather had other ideas and we ended the day with thunder storms and rain.
For me it was a chance to catch up on some crochet and relax.

Tall Ships Regatta
The Tall Ships were back in Liverpool at the weekend and John and I went along to the prom (with thousands of our neighbours) to watch them leaving.
They were escorted out by a ship from HMS Eaglet which is a Royal Naval Reserve training centre in Liverpool and all the ships are crewed by young volunteers.
They were headed 13 miles off shore before beginning a race to Dublin, Ireland.
We were a little disappointed that there weren't more ships taking part (only 17) as the River Mersey would have looked amazing full of sail boats.
Unfortunately I didn't take the big camera so the photos are a little on the small side.
Here's a picture I borrowed form the internet of them leaving at noon yesterday.

A Small Achievement
Just 13 short weeks ago I made the decision to join Slimming World.
With all the stresses of the last few years the pounds had crept up on me and my bigger trousers were starting to get tight!!
I didn't want to get another bigger size so took the plunge one Wednesday night and went to a group my friend at work goes to.
The people there couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming.
I took to dieting like a duck to water and it has paid off.
I am now officially 1st 8.5lbs (22.5lbs) lighter and I feel so much better.
I now have a lifetime membership to Slimming World.

A Nice Compliment
Last week at my 3 yearly health check and MOT I had the nicest compliment from the nurse. It went something like this.
N: Do you smoke?
Me: No.
N: Have you ever smoked?
Me: No.
N: No of course you don't. Your skin is to nice to be a smoker.
Me: Umm. Thanks!

Race for Life
I've just signed up to do the Race for Life on 1 July 18.
There are a few of us from work doing it work and it's for such a worthy cause.
5km?
No problem (although it will be a walk not a run)
Next year 10km!

Recently
Recently I:
* Have taken it easy on the blogging front. I don't want to make it a chore having to post every day.
* Have been loving the blossoms on the trees.
* Have been having great fun starting a new crochet project.
* Have been tidying up the garden (it's slow progress)
* Have been re-reading some favourite books.
* Have enjoyed booking a little break for me and hubby. Somewhere not too far from home but
somewhere neither of us has been.
