I was presented with a certificate after our exercises, for losing the most weight . I was given, as well, a prize of an apple,a pear and a kiwi fruit . Nobody spoke to me after,so I got in Milly and drove home . Dad and Jarvis were very pleased to see me.
Dad was watching The Bill,and enjoyed the chicken casserole I left in the oven for him .

Last night I went to a Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness club .
This is a first for me. I am on a 2 week kick start Gi Jeans Diet .
There is very little choice of food,and a multi-vitamin is recomended .
I am very hopeful that I will be able to keep going with this .

Liverpool, the start of the trip.
I cant find the thing to download my photos of our liverpool trip at the moment but will asap.
We left our house at 6pm on Friday 15th and drove down to maidstone to leave Jarvis with Paul and Ann .We left there at 9pm and bought some excellent fish and chips at their local chip shop.They were so good ,
and I recomend you sample them if you find yourself down that way.
We arrived at Auntie Margarets and uncle Davids, after a 35 min drive, had a nice mug of tea and then went to bed ,as we wanted to be away early ,at 6am., As you know we must have fresh air these hot nights,so we opened the lounge windows wide as we could, and we fell asleep listening to the sound of the large waterfall in the back garden.
We got up at 7am and left at 7.45am. I won't write more now as it is 8.45pm, and I want to have my dinner. So to be continued.

I am on my own tonight , so no cooking . Ben is selling his car,and Paul might buy it for Amy.
Nan and Grandad should be moving on Tuesday 26th sept 2006.
Dan is in Paris at the Mac show ,working very hard ,I have tried to phone him at the hotel, but he is so busy.He is on his own untill Lorraine flys out to help him on Friday . Good work Dan ,we are all very proud of you and Realmac software .
We are off to liverpool with Auntie Margaret and Uncle David to see relations ,and get some family history ,as you all know your nan was born there ,and all her family lived here.We are staying in the Adelphi Hotel which was the subject of a BBc Documentary series,so should be good fun
Jarvis has got trembling and sore legs and is having a general anesetic for xrays and neurological tests next week.
I didnt go to the spin and pilates classes at the gym.I chickened out .I wanted to but felt i would be to bad.
I have just read a spell of winter by Helen Dunmore which won the orange prize in 1995. I think Lorraine would like this as it is about an unusual subject which I wont write about here. It is just that we both enjoy many of the same books.

At Ben and Elikas ,this is the main course of our swedish meal.
I was out walking today and passed this vineyard near the Thames in Whitchurch.
This is good use of a fallen tree .I sat here and had a drink of evian water.

Top Dog
Jarvis saves the day
.It is only 11 .7 miles to High Wycombe, and Tom Tom said it would take 22 minutes.He didnt know about the 2 mile traffic jam at the roundabout there. High Wycombe is an Arab town. Its a world apart from dear Henley .
When I went to collect the parcel there,guess what? Yes my purse wasnt in my bag, so no I D. Than I remembered that Jarvis had his ID disk on his collar, so I brought him in, the man read it, and that was fine. The man said thats a first for me..
I got muddled with the new layout at the roundabout, and a man called me a daft bitch.I didnt think that was very nice.
I listened to one song on my Abba cd repeatedly on the way home.It was Thank you for the music,the songs I'm singing .I did sing it too ,but as some of you know my singing is not good ,so just as well only Jarvis with me.He slept all the way home .
While out walking we saw a dead rabbit with no eyes.
Johnny Vagas is on the commedy programme on RADIO 4 now ,he does make me laugh.
I feel a bit sick so Dad will have an easy dinner for me to cook,it is a Counsell family favourite ,Long spagetti,grated cheese and ketchup.

Another very happy day
I have felt happy all day today , no stress at all and I have only spoken to nice people . First thing I did was walk Jarvis,and the sun was so nice and shiny, and I made a new friend while out ,and she is calling round tomorrow and we are going for a walk in the woods together, with our dogs.
Next I went to the leisure centre to get my free pass for 7 days , if it is good I will join ,because I would like to swim and do some exercises .David spent an hour showing me how everything worked ,he has a little dirt under his nails, he does not bite them ,which is unusual..When I watched him do some scrunchies ,his tummy was trembling.
On friday I go to get my 7 day pass from the L. A Fitness gym ,and I will let you know what I think of that.
After that I went to the Library and got 7 new books which are so good that all I really want to do is read ,but I havent started them yet.I will let you know about these as well.
For my late lunch I had a bowl of allbran and a banana sandwich, after which Jarvis and I walked to the allotment where we spent a long time digging up some potatoes and picking loads of runner beans,french beans,and spinach .some of the cabbages are ready to pick as well.
I have just made lots of cream of tomato soup as the Lady at the farm gave me 10 pounds .I shall freeze some .For dinner,Veg crudites and dip, followed by for Dad, braised steak and onions,with carrots and courgettes and green beans. For dessert ,new season blood oranges.

This took 2 hours .It was very sunny so on our return we sat in the garden and talked and talked about all sorts.Dad had some beer and we bought out our laptops and tapped away ,sending @mails,looking up family history .ebay (I have a dishwasher for sale),delicius library ,then the batteries went flat so we both came in
