Hola everyone! Just a quick update from sunny Espana.
I'm not doing too badly, eating could be a lot worse (although we did have takeaway pizza last night

, mind you, on previous holidays I'd have been on my fourth or fifth pizza of the week by the time we got to Thursday evening, and for lunch today mum suggested going somewhere where I always have pizza and I said I'd prefer not to with having had it last night, so we're staying in and I'm making a salad).
I walked about three miles along the beach the other way only wearing a bikini!!! Usually I wear a sarong or a skirt over my bottom half, but I decided to brave baring the whole of my thighs. No-one appeared to run screaming from the sight (mind you, part of it was through the nudist area of the beach so there was a lot worse on view

) And then I got to the end, put my stupidly short skirt back on and got chatted up at a bus stop by a Cypriot bloke. While wearing a bikini!
I hit the sales up in Las Palmas the other day, and got a gorgeous red and white spotty dress from Mango for about £10. It's a medium and 2 things surprised me - first that it's a medium (which is a small in US sizes apparently) and I worse it twice before I realised there was a zip down the side - I'd just been pulling it on without undoing it. And second that their sizing is odd, some things are S, M, L and others are 10, 12 etc (and the european/mexican equivalents). and some are mixed - including one dress I tried on which said it was a M in Spanish sizes and a UK... 10. (And it fit!). I'm probably heading to a local commercial centre this morning before I head down to the beach, just to see whether there's anything else there that they didn't have in Las Palmas.
I even went for a run the other night. Only about three miles, but that takes the total number of miles I've ever run in GC to... 3. Which is a step in the right direction. I might go for a longer run on Sunday morning because we only go out late on Sundays so there's a bit more time, but it's just a bit hot and sunny to think about running most of the time, so I'm taking the chance to let my legs rest a bit.
Anyway, I'd better get off and do something useful with myself I suppose!
