Sunday 24^th February

You’ll all be pleased to know that Jersey were triumphant in the inter club badminton tournament, so despite my best efforts to assist Guernsey I failed, (mind you they didn’t really help themselves either!).

Hubby shot off to the café at 7.10am this morning- he said he had ‘an important meeting’…… I think it was with a bacon roll, so much for the calorie counting.

I did rout him out when I took Jess for a wander along the breakwater and through the woods a little later- although I let him off as there was no visible evidence of food…and he did then buy me a bacon roll if only to appease his own guilt!

I managed to squeeze in  45 minutes of aerobics with the lovely sisters before dashing off to badminton ‘trials’ for the……..veterans. Despite there not being many of us we had some good games, and had some coaching tips from MC which was really helpful.

Needing to stock up on food it was a supermarket shop on the way home before I finally had lunch at 2.30pm.

Son no 1 has been out watching sports of some description most of the day, in fact most of the family are VERY good at WATCHING sport they just don’t DO any themselves!! No 2 is on a night shift and went off with a tray of eggs as they were going to cook a ‘toad in the hole’ for supper…..allegedly!

No 3 has been steaming milk and roasting beans and smiling a lot (hopefully) at customers down at Coopers at Castle Quay, and to be fair to him he did then visit the gym on the way home, that was before he stormed in ravenous and then bemoaned the fact that casserole was his least favourite meal ( I had waited for him and was just about to serve) , and really the best bit of the meal was the roasted butternut squash.   I wasn’t smiling.

A special mention to my lovely friend Jdlh who is another year older (and wiser as she is a super clever nurse) today- happy birthday!!
