Cofee shops and cafes are doing a great trade this weather - it is so miserable outside - rain, rain and more rain. Now I know I can see the good side of that in that we have a drought and none of us want to be without water but this is too much - it is supposed to be summer.  So again I am so grateful that our summer holiday to Spain is booked and we can look forward to being together in a lovely hot climate which helps relaxation and enjoyment. Then hopefully as the summer goes on we will at least get some picnic weather here - well I bought my bargain picnic blanket so I need some good days.

I am trying to stay disciplined this week food-wise and need to start writing things down again since the odd biscuit and cake seems to be creeping back in regularly.  I am enjoying my swimming and pushing just that wee bit further for longer swims.

Alex is working out at the student gym in Buckingham with her friends - I should see a toned teenager in a couple of weeks and hopefully she will see a little difference in my shape.  So still shaping up - how are you doing?
