Sunny Sunday to enjoy

Sunday 28th August 2021
If you're going to rise, you might as well shine!

Well I fell asleep on the settee last night and woke up at 3am, I then went up to bed and had another 3 hours, over 9 hours sleep, lovely, I do love my sleep.  Doing exercise is helping me sleep better I reckon, now I didn't do a YouTube workout yesterday but I did an hour digging and weeding the garden instead, which showed up as 'sport' on Fitbit and burned 221 calories so I'll take that.  I felt like I could've done more but didn't want to risk pulling my back again, plus it's finding somewhere to put all the weeds, I don't really want a trip to the tip.  

Food wise wasn't too bad, I had eggy bread for breakfast with mushrooms and tomatoes, that was delicious, grey peas and bacon for lunch from the freezer, working my way through it all.  Then for tea I had a few melba toast with cheese triangles with my red wine, it was National Red Wine day yesterday and it tasted so good after going without.

I'm planning a full English this morning, although I don't have any mushrooms left, I could go get some I guess but I have to take the dog with me because he's neurotic and won't be left alone without getting all stressed out - deep sigh!  He was the main reason I didn't make the Essington thing yesterday too, he had a 'toilet' accident when I walked him round the block so had to wash him down, then he wouldn't go back out and it was too hot to walk him that far anyway.  The weeding was the other reason, I have to do things when the mood takes me or it doesn't get done, so at least I've made a start on the border, I'd love to fill it with pretty perennials again, rather than weeds, the soil is amazing because it's not been messed with in so long!

Really enjoyed the huddle yesterday, I love that Facebook brings people together who may have never met otherwise, I had a lovely lady join our group yesterday who's followed me on Facebook for a long time and decided she could join and visit her mom afterwards even though she doesn't live local to the venue her mom does, how great is that! 

Back to food, I've defrosted a goat curry so that's lunch, will have it with the cauliflower, I might rice it but I think I'll just break it up and roast or steam it and mix it all together.  Nisha Katona reckons cauliflower makes a better curry when it's older, so the one in my fridge would be perfect! 

We talked about good mood foods this week, how eating well affects your body and mind, it really is true, you do feel better when you pay more attention to the foods you consume, the same with activity, I have definitely noticed a difference adding just a little exercise to my day, I need to do some when I've finished blogging, get me energised for the day.  Got a zoom at 9 then I'm free to do whatever, feeling another lazy day, although I do need to order some printing, new A frame posters, it's all money ain't it! 

Our afternoon tea trip on a canal boat is almost full, really looking forward to that in October, what's not to love about cake and triangle sandwiches, add it to a 2 hour boat trip, happy days. 

Sunshine day ahead by the looks of the weather forecast, Alfie's snoring still which I reckon is a sign we'll defo be having that lazy day, do I do more weeding and just put the bin bags full of weeds in a pile till I can get rid, I think I might you know, anyway, I'm off to do a workout, whatever your Sunday looks like, enjoy it.  

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me xx
