I got up at 7am before Kev went for the bus. I was awake, and I didn't see the point in languishing in bed, I fed Willow and got my own breakfast, I am having porridge made with water and greek yogurt and teaspoon of Kev's raspberry chia jam every day. Not only is it filling, it tastes lovely. Its also helping to keep both my blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check. I am actually feeling good at the moment, sleeping well, and have more energy than before I changed my eating habits. I'm not getting heartburn or any gut issues, so hopefully when I next weigh me the numbers will confirm what Kev has already noticed that some of my clothes are looking a bit baggier.
After breakfast had settled, I did a half hour on the treadmill, finding another lovely woodland walk to follow along with. I washed up, tided up and hand washed a cream shirt of mine. Its good and windy today and the sun is out, though it's not warm. Hopefully by the time Kev is home the shirt, which is thick cotton, will be dry.
I had a tassimo coffee and one of Kev's gingerbread men for elevenses, a nice little treat.
Sadie very nicely got Pops to buy me a couple of lipsticks for Smothering Sunday, I think she was disappointed though, I think she thought that they would stick my mouth shut, bless! Lol. Willow just gave me a huge cuddle on my knee as watched my regular stuff on YouTube.
I did myself another bagel for lunch and then sat and read for most of the afternoon. I'm making good progress with "The Book of Magic" about just over halfway through. Its a hefty book, but as mine is on kindle, I have no idea how many pages there is. I am taking my time with it, I don't want to rush it, as I don't think I want to end my journey with the Owens women just yet. I definitely think they'll all end up being re-read at some point. Even though I do want to read more of her novels at some point. But I think after this I might fancy a good old murder mystery or two, by means of a change. I do hope that the upcoming Practical Magic 2 movie is based on this last novel, and that they do it justice. They did a good job on the first movie, so I'm praying for more of the same.
Kev bought a second candle warmer for the bedroom, he was so happy with the unliving room one, as am I. So now I have Rose and Clove simmering in there, and Fig tree melting in the bedroom. They blend lovely together and the whole bungalow smells gorgeous. I may get rid of my scentsy wax melt warmersor at least box them up. I love the ease of being able to swap out the candles with my mood, and I also love how much safer it is rather than lit candles burning around the place. All our decor candles are the battery operated with timers type now. Safer, and because we found big boxes of affordable batteries from Home Bargains and Amazon basics we always have some on hand for when they die on us.
