Get that fat lady off the stage, 'cos I ain't finished yet


How come I'm drawing my pension when I'm sure I'm only 19?

I've always had a weight problem from childhood - brought up by grandparents who had been through 2 wars and a depression, and happily cleared my plate every meal. Reached my goal with Weight Watchers 20 years ago, but couldn't keep to it, and have been gradually creeping upwards ever since. Finally found SparkPeople last year, and all went well until ...

I've always had a weight problem from childhood - brought up by grandparents who had been through 2 wars and a depression, and happily cleared my plate every meal. Reached my goal with Weight Watchers 20 years ago, but couldn't keep to it, and have been gradually creeping upwards ever since. Finally found SparkPeople last year, and all went well until ...

But now I'm starting out again, back with all my friends, and see - I'm starting from a better position than I was in last year.

    Not too bad thanks. I've been under the weather for a few days, probably something being passed round via the grandsons' school as our daughter has been feeling a bit icky too.

    Down in England our sons have both had Covid-19. One had symptoms for a day or two, the other nothing, so could have been a lot worse. Naturally they didn't tell me till after the event.

    We're in firebreak lockdown in Wales at the moment. Not that it makes much difference to us anyway. The week revolves around the grocery delivery order, making the list, getting the order, placing the next order. That's how we know which day it is.

    We're well thank you, though suffering cabin fever. My grandsons are back at school now so I'm hoping my daughter will be able to fit in a final edit of the books soon.

    There have been some cases of Covid-19 in the area, nothing very close though. People insisting on going to the pub when they shouldn't mostly.

    Keep safe, keep well.

    We are well, but have been isolating ourselves since March 13th. My age and health, and my daughter has a boy who is asthmatic so she has been doing the same. We are managing very well with grocery deliveries, which we have been doing for a couple of years now. Lockdown is easing a bit in Wales now, we can go to see daughter and family now, and she goes to town for non-deliverable groceries etc once a month - she says she is our "daytime face" which I gather is vampire talk.

    I'm still writing, at least I'm editing, and it really looks as if I can get the first couple of books out on Kindle fairly soon. It's difficult when all days are the same and fly by so quickly whilst at the same time being so sloooow and boring.
