“Empty Nest”

Tags

, , , , , ,

Well, not so much empty nest as empty living room!  When I left my ex and moved in here back in October 2007 I was blessed in being given a two seater sofa and armchair, amongst other furniture.  Four and a half years later both had just about had it.  My back for sure had had enough of the sofa, I had padding under the cusion and seven cushions behind me so that I didn’t end up aggravating my back!

My lounge sans sofa & chair. Until Tuesday I’ll be using my camp chair, handy that it’s got it’s own little side table :)

Here’s Hoping … (warning ~ a little bit T.M.I.)

that I’ve made a weight loss.  *sigh*  I have been keeping my activity levels up, going to the gym, a gentle walk (Hag stone hunting on the shore), on my feet for three and a half hours supporting a student in a catering exam but …very unsure what the scales will say tomorrow.  I think I’ll just be happy if I’ve had a maintain!

See! It's not my fault *must put magnets on the fridge* ;)

Derwentwater ~ through the years

Tags

December 2004

Hello, my name is Willow and I’m slightly OCD.  I love taking a walk along the edge of Derwentwater, Keswick, along a path to Friar’s Crag.  There are a couple of places where I virtually always stop to take a photo or three.  I’m tempted to say I always stop there but … that’s too risky ;-)   The OCD aspect shows here, there is a small bush growing in a stone wall where I have stood to take photos for many years.  These are since I first got a digital camera back in 2004 up to a walk I took just this Friday gone, 6th March 2012.  Often the visit is sparked by the pagan calendar of the year, especially the solstices and equinoxes, at others it’s simply for the joy of the walk.  Enjoy :)

It’s been a good week :) I got TWO shineys this week, my FOUR stone off and Slimmer Of The Week ~ Yeah Me!!!  Whoop Whoop ;)   I should have got two certificates but the lady doing this week’s class didn’t have those ones … the one next to the FOUR STONE OFF one is from last week!  Yep, Slimmer Of The Week for two weeks in a row ~ Go me :D

My personal "Wall of Success"

In fact it’s been a good couple of months … on 30/01/12 my total weight thrown away was 3st 1/2lb and this week, on 04/04/12 it was 4st 1/2lb :D   That is really fabulous, I am well chuffed with myself, especially considering what a pants month February was! Continue reading »

“I’m Christian, unless you’re gay”

I can’t remember now who posted the link on facebook I followed, yesterday I think it was, but I’ve been doing lots of reading of it, and the follow up posts.  I’m not Christian and whether a person is straight, gay, bi or something else has never been an issue with me, not even when I was a christian.  The main message in the post “I’m Christian, unless you’re gay” (written by Dan Pearce) is love, please read it and share it.

Below I’m putting a video Dan posted about some responses he’s had to the original post … please watch, feel, think and share.  Someone somewhere needs to read this.
