    Hope Mr SA is ok.   

    Our dog is 12 this year too.  She was also a bit of a spur of the moment decision, but a good one.  She and our other dog at the time got on really well.

    Hope Mr S A is OK after his dizzy turn. 

    The weighted hoops sound fun although I'm not sure what the advantage is over a normal one? It's a shame all the advertising for them plays up the weightloss aspects rathe than the enjoyment side of it though! 

    That's a good offer on the frozen stuff isn't it. I'm with you on liking having various frozen veggies in - they are so useful rather than needing to use up a full pack of fresh or having to try to find single items of the thing you want which isn't always workable.

    Happy birthday to the dog.

    Ours was a spur of the moment decision as well. He needed a home so we gave him one. Must admit we also had a few "what have we done" moments in the first few months.

    Hope Mr SA is ok after his funny turn.

    That carrot looks like one we grew last year  :D

    Mr SA is fine thanks. He often has funny turns it's mainly a concern when he's out on his scooter on his own. 

    Pleased to notice the mangetout and sugar snap seeds I planted in the non heated windowsill propagator are sprouting in abundance. 

    @EssexHebridean the weighted ball hoops are a lot easier to use and loads more fun. I'm still persevering with the proper hoop though.

    I have a wii fit & it has an imaginery hula hoop.  That has been great & since my hip op, which I always want to call my hip hop, I have done better with it than for ten years.  Does this hoop work harder on your middle?  Mine definitely needs reducing, which it doesn't seem to even if I lose weight.
