Plus 2.5 lbs equals glum..

Not a happy bunny, no, she's not happy at all and knowing that it was done by herself to herself compounds the misery. Never mind, I say, at least it was truly scrummydumptious beyond marvellous bread and you enjoyed every munch.

It was weigh-in day yesterday and she'd gained 2.5 lbs.. ugh. So there'll be no trotting off to purchase any of Balthazar's most delicious bread (or any other bread) for a veryvery long time. More exercise and more vegetables will be her programme for the week, as she's determind to shift this weight gain PLUS a bit more to be back on her losing-winning streak.

Bob and Tom have gone, they flew back to New York yesterday afternoon and she missed saying "goodbye" to them, what with a dental appointment, her weigh-in and having to do Rotary work all afternoon, she was out, then in and then back out and finally didn't get home until late yesterday.

And what a change of temperature and weather there was yesterday! Happily, the week end was very pleasant with glorious sunshine and dry underfoot. And yesterday she missed the various torrential downpours by minutes but shivered coming home last night and had to bop about at the bus stop to keep warm.

Time for thicker trousers and boots and socks, time to give her outdoor slip-on shoes a lick of polish and to put them back in their box for the winter. I must say that I am mighty glad that my feathers grew back to cover my chest and tumtum, for 'they' say we are in for a brutally cold winter.. brrrr.

Bob said last winter was the coldest for decades, he lives in Westchester, NY and is on a hill. LOTS of snow fell, imagine having to dig your car out every morning, we are so lucky that our council keep our roads clear and that last year we didn't get snow in the city, those pictures of NYC last winter were very scary, imagine having to drive through and over that amount of snow for several months.

She's already done her winter salt check, living in the basement she's aware of how dangerous snow and ice can be on steps. Hopefully we still have a few months before winter comes rattling his chains at us, it is mid September and September and October are usually glorious in London, let's hope this year is no exception.

Time to start our day, grapefruit, boiled egg and coffee for her and boiled egg and hummus for me. I bid all you a fair day Dear Readers.

GeeGee Parrot.
