Davina's diary

phone camera doesn't do it justice and by the time I took it sky had darkened. Have a nice view of the hills as well but need tele photo lens to get a good shot.

BORED nothing on telly, weather is nice and no one to go out with. Tried on my new dress and it looks like a maternity gown with my fat gut, sooner I lose weight the better. So read some posts on here to catch up and feeling better, always cheers me up. Its not helped by the fact I feel knackered as well , my left knee played up this afternoon so was limping around fitting a coil spring and sorting an oil leak on a customers car and of course it was on the lift furthest from my tool box, grrrr. Early to bed then, fancied a walk down to the river but not on my own and not looking like a blob.Dont worry folks as I am fine and one day will go for a walk on my own and maybe pop in one of the many pubs for a wine or beer. Think this was brought on a bit as it was (I think ) ladies day at Worcester (horse) races a short walk from work so loads of lovely's in nice dresses going past . Sorry bit of a rant but that's what this diary is for. XXXXX girls (and boys!!)

Hey girl,

Sorry your knee is acting up. Hope it feels better soon. I know the pregnant lady look well. Sigh It is such a shame our nice dresses don't look as nice as they should. The way I see it I either get serious losing weight or I start telling everyone I am virtually pregnant all the time.
Weather is nice here today so I may go for a walk after doing laundry. Hang in there Davina.
Did I tell you I tried your buttered chicken while Michelle was here. It probably needed more ginger since I have no idea how much a quarter ounce is. I just winged it on a few things. It was good if a bit milder than I expected. Michelle said it was good but mild and my sister did not care for it but that is pretty normal for her when I cook something different.

Hugs,
Laurie

Didn't know if you worked in grams btw its 25g if I remember correct. Yes diet is ON as have 16 weeks to look fab for the UK Susan's meet up, that's 16 weeks to lose 20lb (or more need to be -30) as put 10 back on. Its comfort eating . Yes that recipe is mild but tasty. you need Tandoori mushrooms, Kendra took a photo of the recipe maybe an e mail

Shy · June 02, 2018, 03:22:37 PM

Tandoori mushrooms sounds awesome Davina. I had wild mushrooms and garlic for lunch.

I'll swap your view for that of a run down council estate if you want. You don't need a tv where I live, just look out the window and you've got a free episode of 'The Bill' or 'Casualty' or both

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

More like Country File here, just watched Isle of Man TT highlights . Crazy stuff, 180 + mph inches from kerbs and stone walls.

I have measuring cups and spoons so I can do liquid and other volume measures I don't even have a bathroom scale to weight things with.
Tandoori mushrooms sound delicious too. Sarah P and I share a mushroom appetiser in a orange sauce that was pretty darn good.

Hugs,
Laurie

You have to have a certain level of crazy to want to do the Isle of Man...having said that it was on my "bucket list" for many years...right up until 2 years ago when I quit riding...Good luck with the diet...I have just completed my first week of a new regime...I said to Laurie the other day that I had dieted for 2 weeks and lost the sum total of 200grans...lol got something pretty wrong!

I have changed a number of things including actively exercising with first weigh in tomorrow morning am aiming to be under 100kg...Good luck with your weight loss attemp
take care Liz

I would never ride in the TT but would love to go to experience it. I stopped riding two years ago.

My youngest was going to upgrade master cylinder on his R1 this morning but needs on adapter for hoses, said he is going to watch TT next year. Grinding down welds on panel van and gave up as its to bloody hot, sweat running in eyes in the goggles. Just had a nice cool shower and going to cook chicken Korma .

Laurie · June 03, 2018, 03:21:41 PM

Ahhh good choice giving up grinding in hot weather to slaving over a hot stove.

Hugs,
Laurie

But I was just wearing a very thin short skirt dress and windows all open. Best bit was ran out of ground coriander and just put my sandals on and walked down the shop (still wearing the dress as well before any smart replies!!!) . No make up and slight shadow, fair amount of folk about but just stormed it. Nice to go out wearing next to nothing in the hot sun

Laurie · June 03, 2018, 05:16:55 PM

Go Girl go!

JudiBlueEyes · June 03, 2018, 08:16:09 PM

Davina: Well, indeed, that sounds like a wonderful event for you to attend.... yes, "hot rod chick" sounds like the enjoyable and fun thing you might consider doing...

... of course, you know the rules here on the Forums...
