Occasionally I have a look at other peoples scribblings and efforts. Some of them are stupendous, with photos and writings that are nothing short of awesome. I particularly like the foodie ones, because those I find most interesting. Some of the American ones are terrific, with snippets of all sorts of information sometimes very personal. It makes me realise how amateurish mine is, but no matter..it was never started as a tome, but as a personal record of our trials and tribulations with out Health Eating Plan. That has proved to be OK really, we have both lost weight, and have changed our eating habits quite drastically. We now have mainly a low fat diet, originally following the Rosemary Conley plan, which we have adapted to our likes and dislikes. We do have the occasional treat which keeps us going, and since Christmas was such a washout for both of us, we have had some since, which hasn't affected our diet by much actually.
Last night rejoiced with the cast of Coronation Street, when they won the best Drama Serial at the National Television Awards. It is usually won by Eastenders, so a good result. It will be 50 next year!! Unbelievable..and I think I have seen most of the episodes from the beginning. Such good characters and terrific storylines keep it strong.
We stopped watching Eastenders years ago, it seems that every time we switch that on they are screaming at each other. Not what you want all the time. I love my Corrie..Long live Corrie.Gave up on Emmerdale basically when it lost its farm..it was much more interesting when it was the adventures of the Sugden family. Too many young ones in them these days, and they all look the same!!
VT went out briefly this morning to get some fuel, and see if Homebase had a replacement toilet seat..He has broken the last one! good job he didn't blame it on me! Reminds me of an incident in a villa in Orlando, when we were on holiday. He broke the toilet handle, and then blamed it on little Jane. I went storming into her bedroom, all guns blazing and really told her off. He let me go on for an age then confessed it was him. Needless to say we have never let him forget that. The "Boghandle" incident is one of the family legends.
Tonight we are having:
A pasty from Waitrose,
And, the last of the clotted cream rice puddings! Yum Yum..
Definitely not allowed on the Healthy Eating Plan..but just this once!!
