Wow.  I read this book in TWO days.  That’s a world record for me.  I just could not put it down.  Very powerful.  The back cover said it would reach out and grab you buy the heart.  It sure did!  At one point I had to stop and get a coffee just so I could breathe again.

While out and about this evening doing my supermarket shopping, I saw Easter Eggs on sale at the Warehouse. That’s awful. It’s mid February and Easter is not till April the 2nd!!!

I’ve just had a fabulous 45th birthday. Thank you to everyone who joined in the celebrations with either a kind word, a text message, a Facebook message, a morning tea, a lunch, baked goods, a phone call, a birthday card, a movie or especially a present.

I love and appreciate them all.

There was an accident on the Harbour Bridge this afternoon, which delayed traffic going home. So I stayed at work later than usual.

Of course this meant that by the time I got home my lounge was much hotter than usual. Made worse by the fact that I forgot to set the timer on my air con before I went to work & it looked like it was going to rain today so I shut All the windows.

It’s weigh in day tomorrow for the biggest loser.  I ate sooo much good food over the weekend that of course I put on weight and will definitely have to pay the $5.00 penalty.  But that’s ok, I would rather have enjoyed the wonderful food my friends served me and pay $5 tomorrow, than starve myself.

Anyway, I did actually go for a big walk tonight so who knows, maybe it will help.  It’s a start at least.  I was looking for something to photograph on my walk to prove to you all I did it, but the light was not so good, so this is a bright flower which was on a tree that I walked past.

A group of people I work with have formed a weight loss group so I have paid my money and I’m doing it.

So far so good… I had a salad for lunch instead of the bacon and egg pie and I didn’t eat the cake either.

However it is only day one!

All day the weather forecast has said showers with lightening and thunder.

So where are they? It’s now 5:30 and I was looking forward to it, thinking it would cool things down and water the garden.

I took this photo from the lunchroom balcony at work today. The weather this summer has been awesome.

Today I’m taking down the tree and packing away Xmas. It’s such a sad job. But I had a wonderful Xmas so that helps get the job done.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

About 15 minutes before I was due to leave work and go home it started to really poor down with rain. It looked like it wasn’t going to stop for ages either meaning a very wet walk home from the bus stop.

Then the printer jammed and I couldn’t leave till I had finished my printing coz I can’t print my stuff at the place I’m going to be working at tomorrow so I needed to have them ready to take with me today.

I did not manage to finish printing till way past my usual going home time. However just as the bus drove up my road the rain miraculously stopped and the sun came out. I got to walk home in lovely sunshine. So you see… every cloud does have a silver lining.
