First thunderstorm of the summer!

It was a lovely sunny morning and I went to keep fit. I came straight home and showered as I had an appointment with a dietitian at 12.00. I did have enough time to go for a coffee on my way there thought!

Fiona, was very nice and gave me lots of advice and tips and showed me the portion size I should be having of vegetables and it is really big and I am not sure I can eat that much. She thinks I am not eating enough bulk and fibre and gave me a list of foods and how much fibre they have and I have to try and eat at least 25grs a day and two litres of water. Hopefully, this will work and I am going to give it my best shot as I am fed up not being able 'to go'!

On my way back I went into the supermarket and bought lots of bran and fibre foods and she also told me to eat bread as it is good for me if I eat the right kind.

I got back and made a nice sandwich with lots of salad, carrot and beetroot in it - mmmmm!!

Jon has gone to Auckland today so I will have my first night on my own and I also have my Lions dinner to go to and I felt bad as it started to thunder this afternoon and poor Tot went crazy and I felt so bad leaving her to go out.

I went early as I wanted to pop in to a shop near where we have our meal to buy a new frying pan for my new hob but when I got there it had already closed so I just had to wait in the car till the other ladies arrived.

We had a really good meal tonight. We had been a little worried as a young Vietnamese couple have taken over the bar and we wondered what we would get but it was delicious, apricot chicken with vegetable rice, spring rolls and some really tasty prawn crackers and salad. Pudding was a lovely cream caramel and a little lemon muffin with icing and cream.

Our speaker was a lady from the Deaf Association and I just wish I could get Jon to have a hearing test as he has the TV so loud, can't hear me and says it is me nd can't hear conversations in crowded rooms but there is no way he will go.

I got back to a quiet house and I phoned my sister and we had a good chat for over an hour and now it is gone midnight and I really ought to go to bed and see how I get on with all the house creaks!!
