Still, that will have to wait until I'm back off holiday on 9th October, 'cos guess which lucky beggar is off to Pefkos (Rhodes)? Yay me! I'll probably not be able to post much while I'm away (you know, fat fingers on a skinny iPad and all that) but I'm sure I'll have plenty of gossip when I get back.
Aaaaannnnd the weather is supposed to be good over there too, so what with that and all the lovely food I'm not exactly expecting to come back sylphlike! I have always loved travelling and while I certainly do travel I feel I don't do enough of it, particularly now that I am footloose and fancy free. For example, my (now retired) boss and his wife have invited me to stay with them in Edinburgh! They have a beautiful place and would happily show me around, so why haven't I done it yet? I think I'll take them up on it next spring if I can. I don't care about the weather (being used to the rain) so any good weather I might get would only be a plus. We'll see.
Oh, and I just had to mention a lovely interview I saw with Mel Brooks yesterday. He is currently in London for the opening of his new production of the "Young Frankenstein". It stars (amongst others) Ross Noble who bears an uncanny resemblance to Marty Feldmann and is a comedian I really enjoy. The stars of the show were bantering back and forth with Mel and it was a delight to watch, all the more so since he is 91 and still as funny as ever and sharp as a tack. I have always enjoyed his madcap humour so if the show takes off (which I think it will) maybe I will try to fit in a flying visit to London just to catch it. Anyway, as I said, things will probably be quiet from me for a short while so until next time .....
Congrats on the weightloss and have a GREAT vacation!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nathalie - and glad to see you're still with us - I was thinking about you during the hurricanes. Hope everything is ok. A
DeleteThanks for thinking of me! Yep, it was scary and we did lose power for NINE long days (and internet for 10 or 11 days) but we escaped with just a smallish hole in our roof and some leaks. And lots of yard debris. But it's NOTHING compared to what the Caribbean and Puerto Rico have to face now after both Irma and Maria, it's so sad and overwhelming. They're completely devastated. Meanwhile life has returned to normal here but it'll take months for all the debris to be picked up and I can't get any roofers to call me back and come give me estimates as we just want the roof fixed not replaced, and they're plenty busy with lots of people putting insurance claims and getting theirs replaced completely, grrr.
DeleteI can't even begin to imagine the logistics but I'm glad you're ok. A
DeleteWe saw Young Frankenstein years ago when it was running on Broadway. It is a fun play so if you get a chance go see it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the 6!
Thanks for the recommendation - I was pretty sure I would like this kind of thing. I loved it when the kids group put on The Addams Family last year. My old boss and his wife used to find "specials" where they would fly in to London City airport and hotel plus theatre would be at a really good rate. I will watch out for it. A
DeleteWow-I need to follow what you are doing and I was happy with my 1.4 pound loss. Mel Brooks-still funny. I bet the play would be so good to see-movie is still an annual view here.
ReplyDeleteI think once I get past the first, say, 10 lbs it will be hard work because I have so much water retention that it is easy to lose a lot and quickly (and to put it back on just as quickly of course)! Can't do much until I get back from my hols tho. A trip to London to see the Young Frankenstein is very appealing, I have to admit!
DeleteHave a great time on Rhodes! We had such a good time in Greece this year, so miss the souvlaki and greek salads.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to the Greek food too so I suspect the diet will go to pot!
