2 weeks on..

.. and I'm feeling a lot better, follow up appt with the surgeon today confirmed everything is healing nicely, but I'm forbidden from running or lifting weights for the next 2 weeks. Looks like me and the stationary bike at the gym are gonna get nicely acquainted. I'm allowed to chew soft stuff now, which I've kinda been doing anyway but its nice to get the official word. As I type I'm trying to eat a nashi pear cut up into little bits but I'm not having much success so may have to lay off the crunchy stuff for a while longer.

In other news we are looking for a place to rent. We are downsizing, and going to try living by ourself for a while which should be an adventure.

Ive discovered several new loves in the last few months:
-Skinny pants - they just look so classy, and I love how you're supposed to wear them with a baggy top - perfect for hiding fat tummies.
-Which brings me to my next new thing - www.stylebytes.net - a cool chick who takes a picture of what she wears every day.
-Getting the antipasto platter (or 'grazing platter', or 'platter to share') instead of a main at restaurants - so relaxing just casually nibbling and conversing rather than facing a big stodgy main.
-Fresh mint. Having it whizzed up with watermelon and pineapple, or chopped up on soup. mmmm..
-The new Survivor series. nothing like some good trashy reality TV.

Other exciting things, we have our first nephew (Tim and Celia had wee Thomas) but unfortunatly we are yet to meet him as he lives in London. waahhhhhh! no newborn cuddles for us. Ummm what else? Both our flatmates are recently engaged, so weddings are the talk du jour round here.
