A book club maybe if there isn't meetup? Maybe one through the library? I was thinking about doing that in Florida since I need to make friends at Mike's place.

Good Morning All, Rainy day up at the farm but we are getting stuff done. Cows have had their 2 bales of hay after bellowing non stop from the time they saw us up. Such funny girls - 700+kg puppy dogs in their behaviours. I couldnt love them more.

DH is finishing the last tree cover for the citrus then we will finalise the orchard planting. Have navel orange, lemon, kaffir lime & tahitian lime to go in. They need covers to protect them from the frost for first 3-4 winters. We have afternoon tea for nephews bday at SIL- Im taking scones- always go down well. We are going to dinner with friends tonight which will be lovely. Will be back to city house tommorrow. DH is coming back too- so will be dogs n chooks too.

Today is 4 years since I had my surgery. Ive spent some time reflecting and I have no regrets at all. I lost 88lbs n have kept 81.4 pounds off. Im ok with that. My new job enables me to be far more active so I feel that 6lbs or so will come off with a little focus. My knee continues to heal and allows me so much freedom in movement as to what I had pre surgery- Im sure it wouldnt have been so good had I not lost the weight. DH made a delicious breakfast for me this morning. Vienna toast with poached eggs n asparagus wrapped in pruscutto. It was so good.

Liz- enjoy your weekend alone together. I love having the house to myself. Pure bliss

DD- Enjoy the kindling making. Im with you I love being outside pottering- hence Im not a winter girl- too much time cooped up inside

Cec- You are special. Wish I lived closer as I would be delighted to spend time with you.

Diane O - Im sending my best n biggest Aussie hug to you. Wrapping you in lots of love & hoping it brings comfort. You are on of the strongest women I have the honour to call my friend x

Well I had best get moving and get some more of my to do list done. Love to you all

I am not a winter girl either, yet I live in one of the winterestie spots available! The short summer we have, I want to eat outside, entertain outside, read outside. I even take naps outside in the hammock. If it weren't for the mosquitoes, I would probably sleep out there.

You have done so well with your weight. As one of the others said I think it is your healthy homemade non-processed food and your high level of activity. Nice that your life has the proper food/exercise balance you need!
