Saturday’s Two Hundred & Fifty

Sometimes things don’t go to plan as they should. This afternoon, during my lunch break I decided that  I would write this blog post instead of leaving it until this evening.

So I sat in the staff canteen and wrote my two hundred and fifty.

Then I added a photograph, and that’s when it went wrong. After I’d added the picture, I decided I didn’t want that one and wanted to choose another. I hit delete, and with that all the blog post disappeared completely. Now, I was writing on my iPad, using the WordPress App, unlike now where I am on the real site, logged in, and typing directly into WordPress itself.

IBMAnyway, lesson learned. I won’t do that again.  I can’t even remember what the heck I typed this afternoon, so this is completely different content to what I wrote some eight hours or so ago.

The weather has been a bit of a mix today. Typically, it was trying to rain just before I went to work, but it stopped by the time I actually left the house. I wasn’t so lucky when I finished work though. Just as I was walking to the bus stop – in my shirt sleeves as it’s not been cold enough to call for wearing a jacket – the heavens opened and I got quite wet. No sooner had I got to the bus stop and shelter and the rain stopped again. It’s just typical English weather!

Anyway, I’m home, fed, watered and soon ready to call it a night.

Goodnight!

It’s Almost Tomorrow 

Just before midnight. I fess up. I almost forgot to write a blog this evening. After getting home just before nine,  I had a quick freshen up, and then continued  with yet another salad day!

Having had bacon and eggs for breakfast (but nothing else!), I decided to continue with the healthier eating.

I had a mozzarella and bean salad for lunch, and a banana  and peach for good measure. Had one coffee, but otherwise I drank water all day.

​This evening I had some roast chicken thighs and some more of Kathy’s  home made cucumber  salad. We were still peckish after that so we had some tuna and crackers to finish. I treated myself to one small beer, but that was my only indulgence for the day. 

So this is how I almost forgot this post! 

After the food I sat with Kathy watching some of the Olympics and then we changed channels, and watched some of the darts from the World Series in Sydney. We caught the tail end of a match that Peter Wright was playing in, and then went on to watch Phil Taylor play a really great game, and win ten games to go through to the semi finals.

Switched back to the Olympics to watch England get a Gold medal in the showjumping, and then we called it a night, and that is when I remembered.

Goodnight!

Another Quarter Of A Thousand

Today, I made a false start.  I started my two hundred and fifty words during my lunch break.  I only got one sentence done, so now I’m starting over.

I don’t have any self-imposed rules about when I write. I could do just over ten words an hour to meet my daily goal, at any time of day.

It’s been another muggy day, but the weather is supposed to be about ten degrees or so cooler tomorrow. There are rain showers forecast in the afternoon too.

Kathy is still wrapped up in the Olympics. I really don’t get time to watch it, even if I wanted to, as I go out around ten a.m to work and don’t get home until almost nine p.m.

Bad Hair DayBy the time I’ve had dinner, and read emails, and written a blog post such as this, I’m starting to think about going to bed again!

It’s certainly been a big salad week.  I did have a Double Sausage Egg McMuffin this morning, as I was really tight on time, but for mu lunch I had a chicken salad, without dressing, and this evening another salad with some left over gammon. Both were very tasty, and it’s all good – a lot fewer calories, which means it didn’t hurt to have a small glass of red wine to wash it down with this evening when I got home.

I’m almost done with my two fifty today, but tomorrow is another day of course, and this one is winding down. Good night!
