I set this week aside to do very little ... a staycation if you will. And I did very little indeed. A good book or two, ice-creams to eat, a bit of light gardening, spending more time preparing meals, that sort of thing. The most strenuous thing was swimming, which was especially good this week as, for some reason, there were few people at the pool leaving more room for the rest of us. So I could zoom around more. Not that the pool is really designed for sports swimming - its Sixties design is guitar shaped, somewhat attuned to the groovy vibe emanating from nearby Sanremo, "the City of Music", so it's for chillin' in, man. My tan progresses, too.
It's been nice to dress in just a tee and a light skirt or shorts, nothing complicated, apart from my foray into smarter looks on Tuesday. Smooth skin all over is very agreeable.
I keep losing weight, despite the ice cream, and that's good. I expect to have lost four kilos my month-end (that's 9 pounds) and I hope to do the same next month. Warm weather doesn't put me in need of stodgy, fattening food, you see.

Wishing my friend Roz well for her facial feminisation surgery yesterday and subsequent recovery. I suspect she's wrapped like an Egyptian mummy right now!
Ozzy Osbourne
We can't not note the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, musician, reality TV star (The Osbournes did make you question reality!) and celebrity chef who created the live bat canapé (allegedly), simply because of his noted support for the LGBT+ community (and indeed anyone slightly alternative). More accounts than not suggest he was an all-round nice guy (at least, when not intoxicated).

Yay and twice yay to a week of taking it steady. As to slow meals, with you on that too. Dare I say that having the luxury of time to take things down a pace, and actually enjoy the moment, might just be a holiday in itself?
ReplyDeleteA family friend mentioned that a UK football club was offering a raffle and one prize was a lunch with Ozzy. Now, out friend didn't win, but his mate did. Apparently not much was eaten, but the folk said they laughed so much, their faces hurt. This was about six months ago, so it sounds as if Ozzy was truly on form, bless him.
PS: Wishing Roz a speedy recovery.
