Fallen Giant

After a lie in, the customary weekend pancakes, and a second cup of tea, we went out for the now habitual Saturday morning "walk and trip to butchers". I took a picture of this tree last week, but it was beaten to blipland by some rather fetching geometric naked ivy. We wonder what happened to it - did it break off in a storm, weakened by old age and too much weight high up, or was it struck by lightening in a storm. Who knows, but it's now pretty much at the end of its journey from sapling to stump.

As for us, we walked faster and further than we have done on the previous two Saturday mornings. The Wonderspouse has now lost a total of 5lbs and I've lost a total of 4lbs, so it IS working!

Been quite a week, with so much going on. A quiet day is planned for the rest of today - plenty of TV to catch up on (the video recorders have been watching it for us all week), a lovely joint of lamb from the butcher, lots to read, sofas to doze on, and cats to doze underneath!

After such a busy week, a bit of rest will certainly be appreciated!
