Good afternoon everyone,
Hope everyone is having some nice weather today – even if there is a bit of wind keeping it cooler than I would like …
Anyone have plans for the weekend? I’ve got a celebration party thing to go to tomorrow for a friend who has completed her PhD !!
And then more working on leather stuff.

Afternoon,
A lovely day out there, so far. Had a lovely run with the Werewolf at a local forest and he’s now chilling by my feet 
Have a lovely day, everyone

Sarah, my partner and I have been going out for walks in the woods since the end of January, not every single day but most. It’s doing wonders for our mental and physical health, walks that were a slog aren’t anymore and the more challenging ones are easier. However as for losing weight… nothing. Maybe a couple of pounds, I dont weigh myself anymore as it’s so depressing. And we both wanted to lose a little bit as we have our daughters wedding in August. People will have to accept us as the way we are. And besides, we have both bought our outfits now!
Oh, and we’ve cut out (mostly) snacking between meals!

I’d like to say it’s improving my mental health but I’m so nervous when I’m in the woods, that I spend most of my time looking over my shoulder! That’s sad isn’t it?
I keep forcing myself to go there every day in the hope that I will relax into it! I even wrap the dog lead round my hand ready to use as a knuckle duster! Nothing like always thinking the worst! lol
I’ve been trying to eat more healthily and move more but since going into the peri-menopause, I just can’t shift the weight! I did SW (there’s another acronym for you Brenda) about 10 years ago and lost 3 stone really easily. When the ladies my age now used to say they just couldn’t shift the weight and they had been religiously sticking to the plan, I did used to give them the side eye - now I believe them!
Right, I’m just going to walk to the post office and back - 30 minute trip. Hope that helps!

Congratulations on the sales Mina @theslothscavern and Sarah @dotterypottery 
Oh Sarah be brave nothing bad will happen, I grew up right next to a large piece of forestry commission and me and my ponies would go and play in woods for hours (I was 14 not a little child). I know a lot of places like that are a lot busier nowadays but nothing bad ever happened- well apart from the time I fell off a distance from home, and my pony galloped back home without me leaving me with a long walk home!
In fact when I was on exam leave for my o levels I would take a blanket and some books and find a lovely spot to revise for the afternoon. Ah happy days

I forgot to ask Sue @SueTrevor I hope the wedding plans are going well, it feels like the engagement was only announced the other day!! How time flies! Hope all is under control and you are not having too much to do preparing for the big day. X

Something just splatted from the sky onto the patio and the dog ate it! As I was picking up the remnants on a stick to see what it was (It could have been sponge cake, a dumpling or mashed potato, I’m not sure) he snatched that off my stick and chomped that down too! Hope he’s not ill! Was it dropped by a passing seagull/ crow/ magpie/ or was it an in flight meal flushed from an aircraft lavvi? We may never know!

Well Corinna, where do i start! 3 months today. Mostly under control, still need cake, wedding favours and his suit apparently. However, a few weeks back the venue contacted them to say they’ve shut the building down as its deemed structually unsafe. This is a Leicestershire County council building, its beautiful and in large grounds. They were told they could go to another council building in Leicestershire, they dont like any of the other registry offices or they will set up an open air set up for the ceremony and food. My daughter is devastated. She does not want to use portaloos on her wedding day. This will affect every single couple who has chosen this venue. She did think of running off to a foreign country for the wedding but I think she’s now resigned to the fact she’ll have to be outdoors, presumably in marquees.

afternoon all, one for the tally please Corinna @quaverlyric 
Sarah @dotterypottery I’m in the same boat, post op I thought great now I can get healthy and fit before holidays and lose a bit of weight. Sadly not! though walking is easier and I feel fitter, despite counting calories cutting out snacks and processed food I haven’t lost an oz! mid menopause though so I have given up on that idea and will just rejoin the gym to go swimming again when I get back from holibobs

Well, I just took Reggie up the woods and I tried to be chill - even soaking in a bit of the sunshine and taking this selfie
Then I heard a rustling, leaves crunching and I thought, hold on, that’s bigger than a bird! The sound followed my path, I felt like I was being watched and then a big ginger and white cat jumped out of the undergrowth and ran off! Spooked me again…lol!

Sorry to hear about your daughter’s wedding venue Sue @SueTrevor - she must be so disappointed.
I’m with you on the weight loss Sarah @dotterypottery - definitely not so easy in my 50s but feel much better when I exercise so trying to keep it up. I was quite successful on SW in lockdown times but there was much less temptation when you couldn’t go to cafes!
We’re just on the bus into Norwich to meet friends (more eating and drinking) .
