Happy May Day Col! I had the best night's sleep last night, slightly weird dream in which I missed my hair appointment because my car service ran late, but anyway... it was still great. I've had the most indulgent morning. No jogging as planned but I did do the Tracy Anderson Butt and Thigh workout, 50 crunches and some toning moves. When you feel better / have time, check out Tracy Anderson's webisodes on her site and Youtube for free mini workouts. I downloaded a few this morning and made a new Tracy Anderson "shorts," as in; quick, play list. I'm going to attempt one workout each night and may just try the arm one later, TA reckons you'll get dainty, feminine and cut arms.... perfect for summer! Did you know that women should never do crunches with knees bent? No, me neither. Don't know why yet but interested to find out.
It's the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Empire State Building today, at the time, it was the tallest building in the world, it's also Joanna Lumley's 65th birthday! Do you remember The New Avengers? You may have just missed out on that one. Joanna Lumley's character was "Purdey," and I had the "Purdey" hair cut. Imagine your Mother putting a bowl on your head then cutting your hair around it. It looked good on Joanna Lumley is all I can say.
The hair is doing much better today and actually looks like human hair and not wire wool. Aussie Mega shampoo and conditioner performed a minor miracle, still needs a good cut but at least it looks a bit better for the time being.
B and I are going to Ness Botanical Gardens again later, we were only there last Monday but it's a nice day, we'll get some exercise and of course, it's constantly changing and so always looks a little different. Going to try to remember to wear a pedometer for the walk, no idea how far we actually walk so will be good to find out, don't forget you should be walking at least 10,000 steps daily just to keep healthy.
CBS Reality have taken leave of their senses and are not showing my usual Bondi Rescue Marathon this afternoon, what are they thinking? I may have to distract myself with another mini workout.
Currently sporting a very old, (but smells okay,) Philosophy, "The Supernatural," lipgloss. As the name implies, it's very natural looking kind of caramel/beige colour, (although the word "beige" makes it sound disgusting so we'll stick to caramel.) Nice shade and not at all gloopy. Also wearing my favourite Jo Malone perfume, don't wear it often as only have a little left for now, Pandora and half my body weight in Swarovski... just in case.
Listened to Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs on the way here and dueted with Elvis, rather loudly to "Always on my Mind." I'm sure he would have been amused... possibly offended. One of the dedications Steve read out was from a man asking for a dedication for his guide dog! I was so bowled over by the moment that I missed the dog's name but wasn't that lovely? Speaking of dogs, watched an episode of "Nothing to Declare" this morning, it follows Aussie customs staff and it's fascinating. We had an insight into puppy training for the brilliant detection dogs. They were so cute! All looked to be golden or black labs and were just adorable. They are trained from birth and do an amazing job seeking out narcotics, explosives and other undesirables. The puppies are allowed to go to foster families at 3 months old and come back to the training centre at 12 months. I'm not sure I'd be able to give them back, I'm sure I'd become too attached.
Wondered if you made it to Raglan today? I'm not in the slightest bit envious ;) I haven't added more pictures to the slideshow below for a while, they've changed the procedure and you now need the patience of a saint to make any changes which of course, I don't have. It may just be easier to set up a new album so watch this space.
