Shopping!

Robert was not put off by the dreich weather this morning. Nor was JR, when she walked to the Commie Pool (where her Gym Bunnies pals had a wee session) again today. 

I was fairly energetic too, doing household chores, then doing three separate You Tube yoga sessions. Just quite short and manageable, though the third one was eight minutes long, and was a bit of a struggle. But it’s a start...

I then went into town to pick up a new Barbour jacket I’d ordered months ago, in lockdown. I wore my old Barbour jacket down, bought at least 15 years ago. Quality lasts, as JR always tells me.

I was in and out of town in a flash, if I hadn’t missed a bus, it would have been record time. I did have a wee wander round. Not everywhere open, some looked like they won’t ever open, and it all looked pretty sad, really. The weather doesn’t help - people might have sat out on a sunny day. Some places have added wee covered-in wooden home-made constructions, which don’t look very inviting, but alcohol can just be served outside. There aren’t many people around either - no tourists!

I have started a new regime - lose weight, do yoga, NO snacks. And NO treats - so I did not buy licorice, nor any pastries, nor yet did I buy any chocolate. Also, I had a coffee at home and did not have a biscuit (or two). Well done me!

Took Archie on a walk round the block this afternoon, in the slight drizzle. Spotted these little beauties. Dicentra spectabilis Lamprocapnos Bleeding Hearts (had to look them up).
