Its late afternoon and for some reason I'm feeling very run down and tired - I was under the impression that regular exercise and a healthy diet was supposed to energise one, well its not happening today! There are, however, a number of reasons (other than dietary) that can attribute to my lethargy, one could be because its the end of the school week and therefore I am five days down of fighting to get everyone up, filling lunchboxes, completing endless forms to send back to school, doing homework and then fighting to get everyone into bed! Thinking about it, I'm amazed I still wonder why I have no time for myself ! Thank heaven its school holidays, at least the children can sleep late and I can do some early morning exercise. The other reason why I could be feeling tired is, being the last day of school and given that both my darlings got very good reports, I promised them an afternoon of shopping at Canal Walk. For those lucky few who have never been there, let me tell you it is HUGE and NOISY and very BUSY,it seemed like the world and his wife had the same idea as us. We must have walked for three hours non stop, looking in every toy shop imaginable. I'm sure I must have shed some weight - I know my wallet did!
My dear brother, the one that lives in Cape Town, (I'm lucky enough to have two very loving and supportive older brothers) phoned me today to suggest that I join this girls mountain bike training group. It sounds like a good idea and I think I'm going to look into it. I always pay attention to his advise because, not only do I know he wants the best for me, but he, and my stick thin sister in law who always looks like a supermodel, are very into their cycling and like my husband know far more about the whole thing than I do! I'm going cycling early tomorrow morning so will report back later in the day, hopefully with more of a success story than the last time.
I have just seen the time and realise that I'm supposed to be at a drinks party (I shall take my Light Wine!) in thirty minutes so I'm off to make myself look beautiful! x
You are such an inspiration!
