been on holibags and didn't take my laptop (yay) but back to far too many work emails (boo) so evenings have been strictly offline so late in my update. goodness my laptop is telling me I'm absolutely on target (231 challenges complete) but of course some are much more on target than others, and I put 2 pounds back on on holiday. Piano going very well though of course didn't play on holiday (did play piano accordion as it was a music festival but decided not to count that) this month will try to catch up on workouts. I knitted an egg cosy (I'm not one of life's natural crafters so that one's going to be quite a challenge). At this point anything 9 or above I am considering on target.
