Tuesday, July 24, 2007ALL QUIET IN THE SANDBOXJeez, this place is so quiet. Grandma is in Dublin, Kaya's in Thailand (ratbag) & half of the expat population of Abu Dhabi seems to have gapped it to cooler destinations. I should be so lucky................................... . . . . Well, actually I am! By this time next week, I'll be well on my way home. Hubs asked me if I'd like to go home to see my parents & also to do a recce of some properties in the Eastern Cape. How could I refuse? Within 3hrs, all flights, overnight hotel & car hire were booked - sorted! Dubs & Pup (my folks) are all excited about seeing their baby girl (moi) again, as we haven't seen each other for over a year. When I get back from Souf Efrica, I've got less than 48hrs to swap clothes, wash & iron & then repack all over again, as Hubs & myself will be winging our way to Dublin. We haven't seen Spadge, Shans & Chikkin since December, so we've got some serious spoiling to do, particularly as far as Chikkin is concerned. That's what grandparents are for (innit?) - spoiling their grandchildren rotten & then handing them back to the parents! Grandma used to do it to Spadge, so hey, it's PAYBACK time! After a week in Dublin, we're taking the kids & Chikkin to Spain for a week - something we're all looking forward to. We've booked a villa in a small, out of the way coastal town, where beer-swilling-egg-and-chips-eating-bad-mannered-English-package-tour-peeps are NOT welcome. My kinda place! This will be my first trip to Spain & I'm really looking forward to experiencing the culture & cuisine of another country. And spoiling Chikkin of course! . I've now lost 13.3kg & am finally physically seeing the difference, as quite a few clothes are baggy on me. I'm pleased, but disappointed in a sense that I haven't tried harder. Ag, bugger it! So long as I can fit into a new pair of jeans & swing my leg over the pillion seat on Hubs' Harley, I'm happy :-D .  
Saturday, July 07, 2007COPING WITH A LOSS THAT'S RATHER PRECIOUS!Now before anyone starts thinking that Grandma has pegged it (after the ordeal described in my last post) then think again! I can assure you our treasured Little Grey Haired Old Lady is behaving herself & has just about fully recovered. So all is good-oh on the Grandma front. I'm now talking about another type of 'front'. To be exact, MY front!  In my younger days, my bust would have resembled the nice illustration above. Admittedly, with the dreaded half century approaching early next year, my boobs have taken a slight southward direction *sob*. It's an unavoidable fact of life that can only be corrected by surgical intervention & funnily enough, I wouldn't like to subject my chest to that kind of treatment. No, my problem now can all be directed to One Man & His Motorbike. If it wasn't for Hubs buying the Harley, I wouldn't have thought twice about getting into a pair of jeans again. But with the prospect of re-living my rebel-without-a-clue-youth, I made the decision to lose weight. (For those who have been so kind in offering encouragement, at the last weigh-in, I've now lost 11.4kg. ) However, I've recently noticed that some of my favourite clothes are rather loose, which I accept is a good thing. What I don't particularly like is that my always ample Double D's are shrinking! I am going to have to get new boulder-holders soon. I have definitely gone down a cup size. It is depressing. My front is fading.........................*really big sob*! It's all Hubs' fault!
