Friday - 1st june

Wow - its June already!

Well, yesterday - I had a pretty good gym session.  Mixed it up again with circuits and running.  Makes a nice change to do something other than running, although it has made me realise how my muscles are not as good as they used to be! I used to do loads of gym and circuit training.  me and Lissa used to do circuit training at home - and we always had a good laugh at the same time, sometimes too much of a laugh so we couldn't do the exercises.  We learnt to skip quite well too - and it's nice to complain to somebody else that understands what you are going through - like the side plank - ahhhhhh how long left!!!   20 seconds!! I can't do it......  when you are on your own you either just give up or man up....I gave up on a few yesterday!

Anyway...I then had a shower and got ready and ordered a taxi so when when Andy got home, he quickly got changed and we went into taunton.  We went to the Cozy Club...had a drink and couldn't decide where to go for food.  We got to the door to move on and it was throwing it down...so we it didn't take much for us to decide to try food where we were!  We had a nice meal - sharing 3 starters - and then I had a chicken burger (tiniest piece of chicken) but it was really yummy - and I didn't feel that I had over eaten.  We shared a bottle of wine and had a nice chat..it was fun!!  We got home about 11.30 - and got a drink and watched Britain's got talent - which we barely stayed awake for....then crashed...although somehow it had got to 1.15am....

Don't think I even woke up until 9am this morning - which is unusual....I chilled for a bit - then went and stripped some wallpaper....which seems to be taking ages!  I then cut the grass - only on one side - as we still have the tent up on the other side! Andy won't put it down until he has been in it whilst it is raining! lol.  I didn't have much left to do when I could tell that the lawn mower was running out of petrol - so I ended up running with it to get it done!  That is not easy - it is heavy and the garden slopes, so the up-hill bit was quite a work-out!!

Got it done - came inside and then it threw it down again - so just managed to miss it!  I am in a dilemma again now - as it is almost 5pm....I feel quite tired....Andy is still working int he basement, but I dont know how long he will be.  Should I go into the gym? I siding on the side of no at the moment.....

Also - Park Run on a saturday seems to have gone to pot.....I should really try and give it a go tomorrow - as the 10km is next week....I haven't run any proper distance for a few weeks now because of my hip....I need to see how I get on.  Okay decision made...no gym tonight and park run tomorrow!

Mercky has just got onto me and she is paddy-pawing my arm and licking/sucking my arm too....ouch....her claws are like tiny razor blades - she is the most lovely cat ever though....always cuddling and giving me tiny meow's....

So...tonight we are having another Hello Fresh meal....it is Spicy Sausages with Sticky Caribbean-Style Veggies and Mashed Potato...we are eating much healthier since we started getting these meals.  We also have Chermoula Spiced Chicken with Courgette Rice and Lemon Yoghurt and Orzo Risotto
with Mozzarella, Chorizo and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes.  I often don't fancy it at all but it always turns out really good.

So....can't really type now as Merky is curled up on one arm...so I'll leave ya....
