Cookie, it's the little things like that, that I really appreciate the older I get.  It's amazing what a lovely, sunny day can do to your spirits.  :D

How lovely Judy, buying new clothes in a smaller size. I must admit I went a bit crazy there for a while buying clothes (and shoes) as it was a thrill but I put a stop to it about 12 months ago as I had more than I could ever need  :o  Being home a lot more the last few weeks I've only been wearing around home clothes anyway unless I really needed to go out.  ;D

Oh no chookie, I hope your oven works as good as new, too many nice things for you to cook.  ;D

I’m sure all you good bakers appreciate the loss of our oven.  Having only one oven , I have found has stretched my inventiveness when more oven space is needed. However to bake a lot of biscuits would have proved difficult.
Cooler  and not as sunny today.

I’m sorry but I had a laugh about your oven Chookie. DH did the same thing to my iron, however he couldn’t get it back together. 
What fun Judy. I don’t have a lot of going out clothes. If I have a special occasion I go and buy specifically for that. Generally I wear jeans and t shirts shopping or maybe slacks and a t shirt. (Nice ones of course)
Round the house I wear ones that are a bit old to go out. I seem to have 2 or 3 really good outfits that sit in the wardrobe after being worn for their specific purpose.

I definitely have too many clothes in too many different sizes at the moment.

Just had a big downpour which became louder and louder, ah ha no wonder it was that loud.

Chookie, glad Ral got your oven up and running with the help of GG.
How, nice is it to go down a dress size Judy.

I’ve gone down by 2 sizes in some items Michele - enough is enough though, I’m trying to eat more so that the weight loss stops.  Never had that problem in my life before.

Quite a bit of hail there Judy. Yes you don't want to go to far with the weight loss, it makes diabetes a bit more difficult manage.

No hail here but a very big storm went through last night.  Big winds and lots of rain. Colder weather on the way. 
I have thin clothes and fat clothes.  At the moment, in between clothes.  Good clothes and house clothes.  Not much wearing of the good ones at the moment.

Judy, well done going down 2 sizes in clothes.
Chookie, good that Ral and GD were able to fix your oven.  Mine is oven terrible, cooks today and not so good tomorrow.
The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

Thanks Margaret.  Perhaps you could put a new oven on your wish list for your birthday or Christmas.  Cooks need a reliable oven.

Has been a cold, sometimes wet and pretty much grey day here today.  Didn't go for my walk as it was raining when I woke. 

Have been to the hairdressers which was nice after 8 weeks then home for a relaxing day with no cooking needed.

Picked up my click & collect from Target. As usual WW books are nicely set out with wonderful photos.  Looking forward to trying some of these.  ;D

I will be interested to see what you think JulieO. I thumbed through it and popped it back on the shelf.
