Well, she didn't, but she does now having done her weigh-in yesterday morning, for her weight loss was only a lb! This small amount was entirely due to her having scoffed quite a large amount of delicious bread from a new - to us - bakery, whom we will write about in another post, and eating polenta twice because she had run out of couscous.
No excuse, she forgot to get a packet when she bought my hummus. Freekeh takes longer to cook, and polenta is quick like couscous but she was shocked to hear from several people today as to exactly HOW fattening it is! So she missed her half way target by half a lb.. grrr..
But never mind, she's now lost 16.5 lbs and her dodgy knees and right ankle are happy, they'll be even happier when she loses the other lot as well but the great thing is, because she is doing this slowly, that everything is shrinking! Yippee.. who wouldn't be pleased with a loss of five inches from their waist line?
The Wizard is coming today.. hurray.. to fit the replacement bit into our dishwasher and to help her mend the bedframe, it needs two people and Rob's our man! Such a gem.. a qualified electrician, plumber and an ace carpenter! AND a highly trained computer engineer! Everyone should have a Wizard in their life, we bless a lovely friend Pamela for introducing us to him.
And in the evening she is attending a lecture at the ESU.. English Speaking Union.. on Bite Sized Science. How lucky we are in London to have these wonderful places where you are able to listen to these men and women talk who are experts in their field of knowledge.
I will tell you all about the three subjects tomorrow, after she's had lunch with Hilary at New Horizons and played the general knowledge quiz that happens every Wednesday. Thursday she'll be gardening as Friday.. gulp.. Richard, the gas engineer is coming to look at possibly having to replace our entire heating system!
Yes.. exactly.. BIG gulp! This one is over forty five years old and wonky, to say the least, but now deemed illegal because of new regulations on flues etc. Concrete floors.. pipes in them.. me thinks we might have to move out whilst the work is being done.. ugh.
So there we are.. but hey, don't let me get ahead of myself, for it is only the middle of the night, not yet Tuesday morning!
GeeGee Parrot.
