Daffy's 'patchwork dreams' diary

Karmacat

Good grief, you're doing well today!

Relatively KC! :T Also finished a work thing I've been trying to sit down and finish for weeks, and other stuff kept getting in the way Didn't actually take that long once I sat down and ignored everything else (isn't that always the way?!). Still plenty to do there though

For now though, I'm going to get changed (I'm still covered in soil :rotfl:) and go and face the music at slimming world... :eek:

Mr Daffs is making a nice risotto while I'm out

Think I might actually go to my swimming lesson tonight, only went to one :rotfl: They're drop in though, so I don't have to go! But I could do with the exercise :rotfl: :rotfl: Back in a bit with the truth revealed... :eek: :rotfl:

So, unsurprisingly, I put ON 2lbs :eek: Still not impresed, even though I know where it came from...

So - I've got one more weigh in before I go on holiday, and 3lbs to lose to get my sparkly half stone sticker. I'm a girl on a mission this week, give me a slap if you see me anywhere near a cake!

Going to run to my swimming lesson tonight That should get me off to a good start! :T :T :T

Could be worse Daffs, you might not know where it came from. At least you know what you need to do.

Just came back from the forest and i noticed that somebody has painted their breezeblock wall a kind of nut brown colour and it looked quite good.

Cheery_Daff

Ooh, that sounds nice!

Going to try and get paint that's the same colour as the stone that makes up the rest of the wall - it'll still look like breezeblock, but maybe a little less shabby...

So this evening I've learned several lessons:

(1) I was too tired to run - 14 minutes downhill was just TOO much
(2) I'm absolutely bl**dy useless at swimming :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
(3) I'm so useless, I can't even breath *out* under the water :rotfl: I just blow bubbles, then when i lift my head out, I try to breath out *first* then there isn't time to breath in :rotfl: Fortunately the teacher is very patient
(4) clambering back into hot sweaty running kit after a swim and shower in a boiling changing room is NOT good, fun or easy :eek: :eek:
(5) I don't care HOW close it is, and how idle it is to drive, I'm driving next time. Walking 30 minutes uphill after an hour of swimming is also NOT fun :eek:

Still, feel like I've worked hard today! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Oh good grief, Cheery! You certainly made an *excellent* start at losing that weight! I'd not only be exhausted, I'd be through the floor!

Cheery_Daff

Bleurgh, feeling a little rough and achey this morning :rotfl: although I'm blaming that on the soil-shifting!

Work today - lots to do, but I'm hoping I can follow up yesterday's productivity in that department!

Also a few other things to tackle along the way...

* washing
* put camping stuff away
* ring garage about stupid windscreen washers that won't work (putting this off because I DON'T want to take it, I'm BORED Of talking to the garage, and I REFUSE to pay for it after they didn't fix it at the service, but am too scared to say that )

Think that's all that *needs* doing today (although I still need to sort out mr daffs' birthday present, and book our ferry tickets :eek: We'll be swimming across the Pentland Firth at this rate! :eek:)

Tea first though :coffee:

redsquirrel80

We'll be swimming across the Pentland Firth at this rate!

That would certainly give you some swimming practice! :eek:

Not surprised you're achy today - that was quite a day!

Hope you have a nice productive day

Cheery_Daff

Best get some practice in before then I think Squizz! :rotfl: (or book the ferry tickets at least )

Karmacat

Ferry tickets would be preferable, I think - to my shame, tho I know the Pentland name, I didn't know which bit it referred to, and now I do (thanks google) - I definitely advise not-swimming
