Another week

Although life is mostly fun and we are doing a bit more here and there, the weeks are rather blurring into each other. Working from home, walking, golfing and village based socialising. Now the pubs are open there is the option of same variety I suppose but do we have the desire to make the effort any more?

Not really but neither do we want to desert our locals which we rely upon during the dreary, rainy winters...hmmm

When last I blogged we were vegging out watching Wednesday lose on a rainy Sunday. We did eventually haul our carcasses out for a walk and picked a hilly route round the village. And of course we called into The Shoulder of Mutton for "one" on the way round. It was fabbie to have a crisp, cool pint of bitter out of a proper glass. 

One became 2 when it absolutely bucketed it down just before we were about to head up to the White Hart for a quick one. 

So, maybe not the most diet friendly afternoon but nice to be out after all this time. Following the pub theme we had steak and chips for supper and a bottle of Pinotage. What a lovely day!!

Yesterday morning it was weigh in time. I squeaked into the 17s taking me to a 5lb total drop in 2 weeks. Not bad but 2 weeks is always okay. It's weeks 3 and 4 which are the tests!

I'm afraid the diet didn't feature heavily in my Monday though. I was grouchy in the morning then got some emails with my pub quiz team about our team member Richard who died a couple of months ago (not of Covid, he had a massive heart attack on the street while out on his daily exercise walk - tragic). We were starting to make plans for his Memorial quiz event as we couldn't go to his funeral. 

So far, so good but then I mentioned the pub and before you know it I was agreeing to meet Greg and Dave for a lunchtime drink in the Anglers in Bamford! So now I'm day drinking!! And no regrets. It was great, just lovely to see the boys and have a proper chat and banter. I cheered right up but Rich went the other way when I sent him this photo and told him we were drinking one of his (and my) favourite beers, Abbeydale's Moonshine. 

I will not be making a habit on Monday lunchtime pints but it was fun!!

We went back to Bamford in the evening to pick up Rich's car from the garage so walked round the fields and the Mill. At least we saw the sun briefly before it disappeared again. 

Have a great week folks!!
