Thanks, Liza & LaMa.
It's time I had a new plan(haha- a plan). I'll get an exercise plan on Wednesday & I need a diet plan. I am eating (& drinking) more than I should with R here as G is cooking more. Starting right now I am having smaller meals, 5 days without any wine at all, 1 or 2 perhaps at the funeral on Thursday & reassess. I think I need some time without any starchy carbs just to get things moving in the right direction.
We had 73mm of rain in the last 24 hours. You should hear the bird noise!
