FOR THE VERY LAST TIME

 


When I went to Weight Watchers last night we all found out, at the end of the meeting, that our lovely coach, Andrea, is LEAVING permanently.

My immediate thought was... well so am I.

The meeting will (after next week) be run by Andrea's 'replacement'.  And I don't enjoy that person's meetings, having gone to one a while ago.  

I see no reason to attend a meeting run by someone I don't 'jel' with, or enjoy listening to.

Andrea has been the only WW coach I have enjoyed since leaving Palmerston North.

So, it is a very easy decision to just up and leave Weight Watchers.  I was only going for the enjoyment I got out of the meetings.  

I am doing very well ON MY OWN.... and will continue to do very well I am sure.

Also, Andrea is a 'friend' of mine on FB Messenger, so I can still keep in touch with her via that.

I will be sad not to see the ladies who I have gotten friendly with at the meeting, but hey... none of them became 'friends' outside of the meeting, so ... yeah.

Moving on... this morning I am being picked up by Bex and Lily, and we are going to the Zoo!

That will be such fun... I like the zoo and have not been for bloody ages.

I need to pack something for my lunch (in case we are there that long).  Probably just crackers/cheese and chutney.  Better than nothing.  

In other news, our garage window is ready to be picked up.  Steve will sort that out, and then work on scheduling the installation between himself (the builder) and a bricklayer.   Just a little bit exciting. 

And on that happy note... I'm out of here... 

ONWARD... 

1.15 pm.

ZOO TRIP:























ABOVE:  We three girls had a wonderful time at the zoo.  Saw enough animals to make it interesting.  Lily was like a little dynamo... go  go  go!  And talk about a little poser!  So cute.

She was certainly very interested in some aspects of the zoo... like the rhino poo!  😂😅

We spent almost two hours there, and by the time we left it was starting to get very hot, so going in the morning was a good idea.

Lacy had just finished cutting out 69 placemat battings when we arrived home.

ABOVE: And there we have another 'family poser'... aka the photo bomber.  She knows just where to stand.  😊
Lacy had already done the Hakarimata Summit Track before doing my batting!  So she was ready to go home and have a rest.

And now... it's time for me to take a break.  I might get into Crabby Quarters a bit later on.  We'll see.

Oh shit, clearly I've forgotten to update since lunchtime!

Well... I did some sewing.  I watched TV.  I did a jig saw on my laptop.  I might have yakked with Stew for a while.  And that's about it.

Time to sign off for the day, I'm watching Coronation Street right now, then heading off to bed.

  1. How exciting on the window! I used to go to WW meetings way back in the day and the only thing I really got out of them was making myself lose weight so I wouldn't be embarrassed standing on the scale haha.

  3. Gorgeous photos of Lily and the day out, love the rhino and giraffe.
    Lacy is a trooper I bet she was knackered after that track.

    More sewing I’m predicting 😁

  5. Rhino Poo! So funny!
    Hubby and I went to the movie WILDWOOD tonight. It's a stop animation movie that took 16 years to make!they hand made 130 miniature sets. And made teeny tiny clothes. And placed each leaf and twig and moss by hand ! The behind the scenes videos on youtube are jaw dropping! As was the film!

    Tomorrw hubby has a torn bicep surgery! I have no idea if the recovery will be days, weeks, or months. Bit nervous about that!

    I used to pick up my grandson from his daycare and take him to the zoo for a couple of hours. He loved the fur seals and the polar bear best and donalds (McDonalds) he is 30 now but I remember those days with love. Lily looks very happy at the zoo too. Gigi
