Well, it was a lovely long weekend down by the seaside. I actually got back on Monday and then G and I both took Tuesday off work too, so we didn’t have to come back from a break and then be rushing about thinking of getting back to work. The weather was not great while we were away but we were right on the sea front and could watch the boats going past from the comfort of the sofa. We did also manage to get out 10,000 steps in on Sunday though which helped to work off some of the calories from the really nice Italian ice cream we had the same day.
We ate lots of nice food while we were away and cooked some of it ourselves which meant that we didn’t spend the *whole* time rolling from one meal to the next. G had the two days off for free – meaning that it didn’t come out of G’s leave allowance and we also were staying at a friend’s place for free so it was a very cheap time away and a good break. So hopefully I will make it through the rest of the working week.
G and I managed to keep ourselves amused in the car on the way there and back by playing the ‘transporter game’ which means that every time you spot a transporter you have to shout out “transporter” and if you saw the sea you had to shout out “I can see the sea”. They are very technical games, as I am sure you can tell. G also decided that every time we saw a tree you had to shout out “tree”. There are a lot of trees about…
I also made the mistake of singing in the car, which included the song “A you’re adorable, B you’re so beautiful, C you’re a cutie full of charms…” and so on right the way through the alphabet (with a few cheats along the way). G rather took this song to heart and throughout the weekend I’d hear G breaking into song with a more personalised version “A I’m adorable, B I’m so beautiful” and so on… there’s nothing like having a positive image!

There is nothing more uplifting then singing how adorable you are about yourself, except maybe a big dish of Italian ice cream. Mmmhhh, that makes my mouth water and hungry for breakfast. I wonder if there is anything good to be had around here? Some vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and whipped cream maybe?
Sweet Irene - Thanks for dropping by. Feel free to help yourself to ice cream and as it's your first visit have some extra fudge sauce and whipped cream. Enjoy your breakfast!
