WALKING WITH THE FBG'S THIS MORNING

 

This morning I am meeting up with a group of FBG's for a social walk, here in Hamilton.  Not too far from my home in fact.

We were supposed to be going to Matamata, but due to the weather being just too hot, it's now here instead.  Where we are walking has lots of shade.  If not, I probably wouldn't be going.

ABOVE:  I pulled all the mint out of the planter box yesterday, and put all my little Hydrangea cuttings in it.  I hope I get at least half of them to grow.

ABOVE:  I'm also very happy with how my tomato plants are doing, even though they look half dead.  There's some lovely big tomatoes coming on.

ONWARD...

DOGSTARS has this crazy idea that WE ALL make a freakin' dress.

She's found a pattern online that is super easy looking... so here's the link to it:

I for one will certainly give it a go.  Dogstars will too.  Anyone else keen to have a go, then share their creation once it's made?

You can put it on Facebook or somewhere where we can all see it.  I will put mine on here of course.  No rush to make it either, no stress.

12.45 pm.  And what a delightful morning I  have had.

I met up with three lovely ladies from Cambridge, and we went off for a long meander around Chartwell/Queenwood/Harrowfield and Flagstaff.

I lost count of how many bridges we crossed over, how many hills we climbed, but it was just so wonderful to be out on a really good day for a walk.  Overcast, a good breeze, and not too hot.

ABOVE:  Our walk was 'supposed' to be about 4.5 kms, but somehow we ended up going a bit further.  

After the walk we stopped in at JAM in Queenwood for morning tea.  Well, the girls did, I just had me Diet Coke.

Then I came home and cooked some savoury scrolls, using my cheese scone 'recipe'.  Stew, you will enjoy having one of them for supper tonight I'm sure.

I'm having one for my lunch.

Which is NOW...

ABOVE: They certainly look good enough to eat!

Fresh in from today's walk leader...

ABOVE:  My slow and steady weight loss 'this time around' is working.  I am keeping it off, and still losing slowly.  I can see it in these photos, and it makes me so very happy.

If I can lose just 10 more kilos, I will be over the moon.

8.05 pm, just in from spending an hour with Stew and friends at the pub.  I stayed home before that, instead of visiting the kids.  I was just a bit tired and headachy.

Now I'm feeling a bit better, thankfully.

Time to unwind, watch the telly, Coronation Street and then off to bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
