Bananas

 


I've lost 2lb wayhey! More by accident than design, if I'm honest. On Tuesday night, with my 'pudding' pancake I had half a banana. Knowing full well that bananas had given me an allergic reaction the last few times (sick at the side of the road last time) I still ate it. I just kind of like to check if I can tolerate it. I mean 3 years ago I was getting itchy throats and vomiting with eggs, and I now eat eggs all the time, and I'm fine. But within 10 mins of the banana I felt unwell. I took an antihistamine and went in the bath. Then I was sick. In the bath! Over and over. Just couldn't make it out in time. Mark came to my rescue and got me into the shower. I had an early night. But I'm guessing that's where my 2 lbs are.

Just in time for Mark and I to go away for a few days. Back to the Hideaways - one of my favourite romantic escapes. In fact those of my readers in Scotland can see it on the first episode of Scotland's Greatest Escapes on BBC Scotland. I am going with the intent of not stuffing my face but just a few extra cocktails, peanuts and bacon sarnies is all it takes. Welcome back 2 lbs. I'm just praying it's not more! 

I've finished my Microsoft Word course. I just need to take my remote test to pass. That's this morning so wish me luck. Next on the training plan is a PDA in Office administration. I'm looking forward to it, I love learning. I also had my annual appraisal this week at work and it's confirmed... I am amazing! Lol.

The picture above was the trigger for the whole name thing last week. Dad has not been in touch yet but mum told me that she hadn't realised either! 

Wisdom consists of ten parts - nine parts silence and one part words.

Alternative resolutions

  So this year, instead of the usual resolutions - lose weight, exercise more, drink water, drink less alcohol etc that fail in just a few days, I've decided to make resolutions for all the lovely people in my life!  Hubby - 2022 is the Year he wants to be more romantic. Though this is news to him. Romance is a foreign language and he has no clue. However, he does do Google! So I suggest he tries asking "Ok Google? How do I do romance?" I'm confident she can help him. Daughter - this is easy. She just needs to remember that one day she will be me!  Son - I know he can do full sentences so his resolution is to message with more than just fine/ok/good/I guess/no/yes. Also, he needs to be better at replying to messages in a timely manner and not wait all day! Libby - she's already doing a fab job of staying alive but I think it's time she didn't just stare at me when she wants a treat. Libby just ask!  The cats - only wee and poo in the litter tray if you...

Self torture

  I made these Viennese whirls this week. I don't know why. They looked gorgeous and they smelt gorgeous, and I have it on good authority that they tasted gorgeous. But I don't know because I didn't, wouldn't, couldn't eat any! I really wanted to! I've never baked Viennese biscuits before and I can't remember why I suddenly decided to. However, I will be making more. In April of course. Viennese fingers dipped in chocolate! Whoop.  Yesterday I went grocery shopping. Nothing new there. Except I bought loads of chocolate. Chocolate Easter eggs - admittedly these are for Easter gifts, kit kat mini eggs - just to try, chocolate orange buttons - because they are chocolate orange buttons, dark milk mini bars - because they are super nice! I also got chocolate hot cross buns - and they've gone straight into the freezer! But why? Why oh why oh why? They're in the house and I can't eat them for another 2 weeks! The cravings haven't stopped! Though I h...

Spring

Image
  In spite of the weather I would like to inform you that the start of spring is closer than the start of winter. We're over half way there. The daffodils have started to show through the earth. The days are getting longer and in only 6 weeks the clocks will go forward an hour. Warmer weather is due next week so we have lots to celebrate! Traditionally, with spring comes cleaning! I clean with a bone in my leg. My mum told me that no one lies on their death bed wishes they had done more cleaning! And I have a husband who takes to the cleaning with more zeal than I. Hooray. But de-cluttering is something that I am truly bad at. The intention is good but the actual is so lacking! I can appreciate the feeling of serenity after a jolly good sort out but my natural hording prevents any euphoria. I understand the ethos of getting rid of things you don't love, don't need or don't use. But I can't! I want to, I really do. But I'm held back because it was a gift, or has ...
