Morning all
And yes it is Sunday and yes I am at work. I have a class to train tomorrow that I know nothing about. ABSOLUTEY nothing. The learning curve for both me and the students will be vertical. We will get there.
Had a lovely day in the sun yesterday. Went out for a walk with my new camera and took some photos of the 'Gong to share when I go home next week - always hoping my computer will be fixed. I haven't actually heard anything yet - maybe DS has forgotten. Anyway after walking around some of the places of interest and photographing the foreshore, the rock pools, the trees, birds and hills, I hopped in the car and went for a drive. Ended up on the cliffs at Stanwell near the Royal State Forest. It was pretty and interesting. Came back, did some shopping, went back to bed with a book for an hour or so and then prepared dinner for a couple of friends. We had Armenian lamb, pilaf, green salad with a lemon coriander dressing. Lots of fresh coriander in the salad as well. I love coriander. Cilantro to our American friends. Oh yes and we had rhubarb crumble and ice cream to finish. Not particularly diet friendly but we enjoyed it, along with a couple of bottles of wine and good chat. A nice relaxing day.
Mel - so sorry to hear of all the crap going on in the medical field. But it maybe a blessing in disguise to get all the drugs out of the system and start afresh. Sometimes I think the drugs produce the imbalance and not our bodies. Hang in there my friend. Times are a changing.
Ceejay - I fully understand your frustration and problems. However I don't think you should go away from us like this. I haven't been following any strict diet for quite some time, I'm saying I am maintaining. When the motivation to loose again comes back I will be here and ready to go! Just join in and cheer on those who are trying so hard.
Meadow as always wonderful graphics. Love the singing sunflowers. That song I think has been an inspiration to many, many people. To me, it brings back memories not only of Satchmo, but of times with friends who are no longer with us. The fun we had when I was young, the carefree times and the good times, the naughty bits, the absolute joy of being alive, withi t, and of course absolutely right about everything under the sun. How little we actually knew.
Tig - whooshing in and out again. How are you? How went the Easter visit? How do the job interview go?
Holly, sounds like you are getting yourself into a place of your own. Gotta love the kids and a tomato sandwich. Congratulate both of them for me. There is skill in creating a perfect tomato sandwich.
We not only have a birthday on Tuesday - we have another in the week. We can start to celebrate Tuesday Oz time and finish Thursday American time. That could be 4 days of cyber cake (no calories) feasts from the bbq, the odd bottle etc. (not tomato sauce) etc.
Okay - I had better go and get on with trying to understand the joys of scheduling, capacity planning, and settlement rules. Now doesn't that sound like absolute bliss for a Sunday morning.
