Picnics in the cold, and a tin of tuna

Went to Glyndebourne yesterday, with the friend I go to see the live transmissions with. No, not the posh, picnic in the garden type. Very expensive! We went to see the youth group do a modern opera called Nothing. It was distinctively modern. The singing was...

Didn’t go to the gym this evening. Didn’t go yesterday either! Yesterday I went down to Bexhill and spent most of the day with my daughter, which was lovely. Got back in time to go to the gym, but had to do other things. So thought I’d go tomorrow (which is today)....

Three week review and too much temptation

Back at the gym Had my three week review at the gym this morning. I had lost 1lb on the scales up there. Wasn’t even expecting that to be honest. Alex, my coach, went through everything. He examined in great detail the report I had printed off from myFitnessPal...

Filming, working out and power cuts

A bit of filming Did another little bit of filming this morning. I wrote three posts for the Guiness Partnership. The last one being on Valentine’s, which is what they wanted to film – a little bit of talking, and making the main course. The  Valentines...
