Oh dear, time has slipped by and after reading what Lynn and Sara have been up to, I hang my head in shame. After more than a month without rain it has drizzled or poured  ever since our friend arrived at the end of October. My son and daughter have taken her to Brussels and [...]

Hello all, sorry for being so long (again). September was chock full of medical  appointments for  the whole family – but mainly my husband with follow-up checks after a week in the diabetic unit and then a cataract operation. My neighbour has been away quite a lot because it’s a sad time for her – [...]

Hello everyone. Well I promised myself I’d post the results of my new regime once a month and it’s time. So much for my hopes of losing about 1 kg each week but the scales  definitely show a small loss. Instead of being the wrong side of 80 they are just below: I can’t see [...]

This week has been hectic with a ‘new invalid’ when my husband came home from hospital plus dog walking for my neighbour. You’d think with the sensible diet we’re all following (aimed at managing hubby’s diabetes) and the extra exercise, the scales would have been encouraging but. so far, not so good. However, I’ve promised [...]

This week was far from ideal to put my new resolutions into practice. My husband went into hospital on Tuesday to have his diabetes checked out and to start insulin so, for those familiar with my circumstances, it means that the rest of the household are enjoying  the peace and lack of stress. However, the [...]

After reading Claude’s post when she mentioned cholesterol (among other things) I was spurred into doing something about my health. My hiatus hernia has been playing up badly these last few weeks and, apart from stress, one of the main causes is overweight – too much fat in the stomach area – as well as [...]

It’s almost like going back to square one – but this time more because of an aching back than knee problems. Oh what fun it is getting older! Anyway, having come through a few weeks of  being low mentally as well I’m slowly trying to get back to more physical activity. Walking uphill towards home makes me [...]

Hello everyone. After such a long absence I feel it was most impolite of me not to have tried to explain sooner. Anyway, I had a bit of time in the doldrums and didn’t feel like any sort of blogging – and I didn’t want to share that kind of depression either. However, I made a (re)start [...]

The bad news is that my pedometer went missing again. It was my own fault: I must have put it down somewhere with the tempting little loop visible because I’m pretty sure the culprit was our latest cat. She loves carrying things around and leaving them somewhere different. many is the time we’ve found pen [...]

After all those sunny posts I don’t want to put a damper on the proceeds by describing my rather washed out week – but then – the Ardennes is famous for its rainy weather. 22nd -28th March Sunday – bit of a lazy day Monday: 3514 Tuesday: 7528 Wednesday: 2826 Thursday: 5234 Friday: 5818 Saturday: [...]
