Thanks Caroline and Zeke.
My D said that she often refers to me as a drama queen! :giggle: Not that I agree with her at all.. moi?! A drama queen?! Never!
Monday contd.
After all that sugary food I had a bad reaction and suffered hives on my arms all night.. very uncomfortable..and not much sleep.
Physio today and he started off by manipulating my shoulder and then pulling my arm as if to stretch the tendons which was very relaxing. Another app for 4 weeks time which I am pleased about.
Then a visit to post office to return some goods, bank to withdraw money to pay my handy man on Wednesday and Tesco for some more fruit. Did intend to stop for a cuppa in Costas but they take so long to serve and it would give me far too long to eye the goodies so came home and made one myself instead.
Watched tennis and Murray won his first match..Hooray!!

Trying - very!
Evening chica - glad that the physio was good today. Pooh to the gain - but if it's carb bloat from the sugary stuff it'll soon be gone.
I shall be glued to the goggle box now for the next 2 weeks. I lurvvvvvvvvvvvve tennis.
Great to see Andy do so well - did you see the documentary about him last night? I really enjoyed it.
Sad to see Rafa go out though. He's a great tennis player and such a great bloke too.
He does so much for kids on his native Mallorca.

I am sure you are seeing the 2lb fading already and glad the physio helped with your shoulder.
I am NOT a tennis fan though OH is a LTA Coach and watches avidly - he has tickets and is off down to London but I am not going with him as it would be the waste of a good ticket. I was once caught on camera, sitting in one of the little boxes over the entrance to centre court, reading a book !!! Have never heard the end of it
Have a good tennis day.
PS I do watch Andy though

Hope so Bubbly but another .8 showed up this morning!
Didn't see the doc.. Very sad about Rafa, he's had a bad knee apparently so I think he was resigned to the fact he wouldn't get thro'.

Quite an eventful day today. Woke with my shoulder playing me up like hell!! Couldn't get comfortable so decided to get up.... nice and light outside so must be time anyway.. I thought. Surprised to find that I felt full of beans and wide awake so set-to to make breakfast and then got dressed..Then thought about what to do today so checked the clock and it had just turned 7am!!!!!!
Now that is very early for me..I am usually a right dozy mare until at least 11am. One very good thing was that I was able to get into a pantie girdle now my arms are a lot better, and they give my back such good support too.Got lots of jobs done, one of which was at last getting my speakers wired up again. Then gardening this afternoon. Netted my strawbs and one was ripe so ate it of course.. delish. Lots of weeding and took 2 large bags to the dump.
Did go a bit off my planned menu so even with all the exercise my carbs are rather high.
Phone call from coach company to say that "A Chorus Line" is closing at the end of August so planned visit cancelled. Not disappointed really as now I don't have to turn out early.
One other thing.. Had email from Missoni Hotel in Edinburgh for booking next year who quoted me aprox. £600 for 2 nights in king size room. I asked if there were any standard rooms available and got the reply..yes we can book you in a standard room but it will be the same price!! Phoned this morning and was told that he could get me a much better price than that..king size room 2 nights aprox.£400 instead!..some difference.
Menu:
Breakfast - Bread 1slice + Eggs poached 2
Lunch - Cheese 40g + Crackers 2 + Butter 1pat
Snack - Brazil Nuts 30g + Mince pies 2 + Sponge Bun 1
Evening - Cod portion breaded 1 + R.Beans 100g + Carrot 50g
Extra - Milk 120ml

I was quite aware of the prices as the last time I went I stayed in a grotty little hotel that didn't have an en suite and it cost me about £150 a night so for a luxury hotel this is a snip. The only reason I posted the info was because of the difference I was quoted after I had rang them which I am certainly glad that I did.

Really enjoyed my afternoon gardening yesterday and was particularly pleased at being able to get my garden into a reasonably tidy state. However..today I've been paying for it and ache all over. Had plenty to take my mind off that as my handy Andy arrived and first went to change shower hose only to find it's the wrong size, Rather annoying that as I paid quite a bit for it as it's stainless steel. Then changed my fridge/freezer doors round. Had to empty it and as he worked the freezer thawed and he ended up paddling about in cold water so he took his socks off and mopped the floor with them! :giggle:
Home help came as well and had a nice chat and she was very good because she went out and cleaned all of the outside (communal) hallway...along with all the usual cleaning and dusting etc. well worth every penny that lady!
Menu up the creek again.. in fact I couldn't be bothered to weigh things at all.
I'll give myself a good talking to later!!
What a surprise at Wimbledon today.. so many having to go out 'cos of injury and then Federer being beat!! At least Murray got thro'.. Yay!

Sounds like your home help and handy man are both worth the money.
Glad you got sorted with your hotel in Edinburgh - what dates are you going to be there? - maybe you, Caroline and I can meet up for a coffee (I know it's next year, but nothing like getting organised)
Hope you get your head around the diet today - I am trying extra hard to get back to 100% - J has gone to Wimbledon so there doesn't need to be any food cooked which will help.
Have a good Thursday

Glad to say there is a happy outcome as Andy is having a new shower unit installed at his home and his "old" shower hose will fit this one. It's one of those that has a variety of outlet positions so all good.
Yes, does look like it..just wish he would smile a little sometimes.

That would be a great idea Nelli. I arrive on the 15th for Tattoo on the 16th.
Much better day diet-wise I'm glad to say!
Hope you had a good day Emmaline
Thanks Caroline..Nice day it was indeed!

Lovely sunny and warm day so went out to lunch at the Crown Carvery. Delish food.. roast pork with stuffing, carrots, peas and lovely thick gravy. Sat at a window table overlooking the river and was really enjoying the scenery and then this young woman came in with a screeching baby...
Popped into Tesco for some more fruit and then home and watched more tennis.
Diet-wise have got things more under control. Just need to get back to tweaking the carbs again as they were a bit high again today.
