2018 weekly - Week 26

24/06/2018

It's HOT, very unusual for British summer. Two years ago today we had hail stones and this year we've had a non-stop heatwave.

Had dinner on the terrace, with peanuts and beer to start and finished with seaweed rice rolls. Cool breeze finally arrived in the end. A good summer's finish.

Spring is such a joyous occasion. Just looking plants sneaking out from the compost is enough to put me in a good mood. Our luck with British sun continues over this weekend. And tomorrow is another bank holiday. What can I ask for more?

All flower bulbs 75% off! Somebody went a bit crazy. It's not me, if you are wondering as I only got a pack of red begonia. All three are in the pot and I hope!

Tried two fitness classes today, LBT followed by Body Pump. Not sure whether I am pushing myself too hard as feeling a bit tired in the evening. I will try this combo a few months and see how it goes. I like strength training. any chance to wave goodbye to my flabby arms? We will see.
