Down a tiny bit more - this is uncharted territory. I haven't been this light for more than 40 years. I should think my body wonders what on earth is going on. Unfortunately my skin isn't up to the mark! I've nearly got enough for two people. Come to think of it I've lost a whole person.

The wedding is approaching fast and I'm delighted to say that I'm having to have the skirt of my outfit altered as I can now get it on without undoing the zip and it just falls straight down to my feet. I'm really focused on my eating with it being so close - I only hope I can keep the momentum going once its over. I think I'm being overly optimistic to think I won't gain a little over the 2 weeks I'm away but I don't intend to go mad. Easy to say but not quite so easy to do!

Weatherwise, the sun has packed his bags and gone awol. Winds and showers are the order of the last few days. The house martins are back from their winter in Africa and are desperately trying to build their nests in the corner of my open bedroom window. I don't mind them on the front of the cottage but do object to the window. The nests are full of mites and they make a terrible mess which drops inside the bedroom, so most of the houses here have plastic bags full of screwed up newspaper tied to their windows to stop them. I've found out that hairspray stops them, so I spray the corner every morning until nest building is over. We've got an old nest on the front and sparrows have moved in and raised a brood - sort of holiday swap. The garage door will have to remain open for the next couple of months too as there's a swallows nest in the roof inside. They built it in the couple of hours OH was mowing the grass. The pheasants are looking good too strutting up the road with their beautiful plumage trying to attract a mate, shouting at everyone and anything that gets in their way.

Aqua aerobics was good this morning. Breakfast is calling now so I'll hope everyone has a good and happy day.
