Back to reading Blogs. Isn't it fun?! Especially my sister's, which are so full of shared memories. I haven't written anything since December 26th, after a particularly joyful Christmas, but as I gradually remove the clutter from my life, I now find I have some more time to write.
The year has gone well:- I decided that I had been too fat for too long and there was only one sensible thing to do, so I joined Weight Watchers. The plan was to lose 113 lbs in 138 weeks, which meant that I would be at target by my 60th birthday. Then Jake & Phil threw a spanner in my works by announcing their engagement, and proposed marriage date of 30th August 2009, A WHOLE YEAR EARLIER! This gives me just 61 weeks to lose weight to look gorgeous in his wedding photos. I am still sticking to my planned target of 1 lb per week which means over 4 stone shed by the wedding.......and I am currently 6lbs ahead of target, so WAY-HAY!
Evie has been growing into a human being, and we now have a great relationship. I love to watch her learning how to walk and talk, how to understand her environment, what's good and what's not. I have a large (2 ft high) teak elephant which fascinates her........she is simultaneously awed by and attracted to it, and watches it out of the corner of her eye in case it decides to move. So funny!! I look forward to the book reading times to come.
Neil and I have been enjoying each other's company, and have had a fabulous time. We have been to some great gigs (The Fall, Fish) and were lucky to have seen probably the last ISIHAC before Humphrey Littleton died in April. We are enjoying our garden, and with the recent fine weather, have been sitting out there a lot. We can't remember what we used to argue about so much, life is so peachy now. We have bought a brand new TV and are about to have our kitchen re-fitted.
Don't want to ramble for ever, more another day
