Bacon in fudge?! Me want-y! I've even cranked my music way up! lol
Are you dancing like nobody's watching? Can tell you don't live in England dinner outside in March wow!!!!
I have just watched my elderly next door neighbour walk up the road dressed in her best winter coat (buttons done up,) furry black boots and furry cream hat. Meanwhile, the cats can't make up their minds whether they want to be inside worshipping Mummy (me) or outside worshipping the sun so they're meowing to be let in only to decide that they really do need to urgently be back outside ten seconds later. It's gorgeously warm here in the western East Angles of England ... I hope the sun has found it's way to the southern East Angles too, Sugarlump! I want a barbecue!  |

I want a BB Que too. I will bring my new red purse with me. I wasn't dancing but I sure am singing like no one's watching. I am listening to Sam Cooke greatest hits right now. After that, Aretha Franklin. When that one goes on, the dancing will begin! lol. Feel free to come join me. WE can dance all over. I don't even care if you jump on top of my furniture or counters. We are going to call it THERAPY!! lol

If you are listening to ABBA you must be the dancing queen!  Jbeany, a friend was just telling me about chocolate covered bacon, and then I read about your bacon fudge....the universe LOVES the combo of sweat and salty! The wind is blowing this morning and the blossom petals are swirling off the purple plum like snow, but it is too warm for snow.  Shopping today...and time to get moving. (Before the thunderstorms, hail and tornadoes arrive). Aleta |

WooHoo! Count me in! Sugarlump, Please don't be too energetic with the hoover; I imagine sainsbury's won't be very happy with you if you break it so soon. |

If I sung with the windows open the neighbours would assume I was strangling my cats! Can I celebrate being alive with the windows closed, please? Oh, and bring your own sausages for the barbecue. Don't worry about the alcohol; I have lots. You might want to bring a cardie too because the sun has decided that it's had enough and it's snoozing behind the clouds. |

I had a wonderful day today. Rowed for 30 minutes at the gym followed by 30 minutes of upper body weight work and 30 minutes of biking. Delicious lunch at Indian restaurant near my house with my aunt then my 75 minute daily walk (7 and a half kilometers) during which I succumbed to the decadence of a splurge on a beautiful red leather handbag (see attached photo). Then the anguish as I realized too late that I'd totally forgotten a dental appointment. AAARRGGHHH!
I splurged last summer on a leather bag and a leather jacket that same color!! Love it!! Now if the weather would get warm enough to wear the jacket!! The wind is really cold here today BRRR!! |

Oh, I WISH I had been shopping for purses! I was just doing the monthly warehouse shopping..... But I had a lovely, lovely swim at the gym....or more like an hour of strenuous exercising, but it felt GREAT! I want to turn in my dull black purse for something right spiffy! And I'm ready to go dancing!  The banana dance... Have a good one, everyone! Aleta |

Hi I 've decided summer is coming so treated myself to a shortish bright pink and white flowery dress with a deep V neck and a ruffle at the hem so I can float about and be very cool and summery! |

I love swimming...you're lucky! lol Today am lying in bed with my foot up. I have 3 broken toes that are all black 'blue and hurt mighty bad. Dropped a heavy glass container of rice on them last night. Dropped down in pain. I am not wearing a pretty flowery dress darn.. (wish I was!). I am in yuckky sweat pants lol. Later tonight I will carefully run a bath and bathe. I guess I'llprop my foot up bit while in there. Urghh.. Things could be a lot worse so I'm looking on the bright side!!!

Hi TS that reminds me of when my mum dropped a dish of moussaka on her foot and burnt her toes. The doctor remarked if it had been an English casserole it would have run straight off but because it was moussaka in a cheese sauce it stuck and burnt her!!! My tip for the day : bag of frozen peas on it works a treat!!!  |

Oh, TS!  Three broken toes!!!! Not good, not good at ALL!  I don't think you will be dancing for a while. I suggest you get one of those boot things at a medical supplier. They really help! We took two more steps toward a "normal" post-transplant life today. First we finished moving the furniture around so our den no longer has ANY traces of being a dialysis clinic and our spare bedroom is once again a bedroom. AND, we renewed our expired passports. Afterward we looked at travel trailers....Wheeeeeeee! (We aren't ready to buy, yet, but it was fun to look!)  Aleta |

was doing ice for some time. I've heard of the frozen vegetable bags before.This shappened late last night. toes deep purple this morning. The 3 in the middle of my left foot. Trobbed aaaaaaalllll nite long. Still hurting but throbbing is down some. Elevated my foot in bed all day & watched tv, and played my guitar, and wrote a new song! I guess being bed ridden isn't so bad after all. Oh, and I even brough my morning cup of coffee. Del, that sounds sounds like so much fun! Be careful though please. We don't need anymore broken toes lol. Ouch burns are the worst.
