6Th Jan 10

usual morning, up, put the kettle on, did the washing up, made the coffee, went online, checked emails and did my cafe on facebook. Ant came down and sat and chatted for a bit then we chatted to Jackie on skype who informed us the uk was in panic due to the snow, so we put the tv on for a bit and watched the news and the whole country seemed to have been plunged in to pandemonium. We have had no snow since before Christmas so we have missed out on this. Ant decided to take the dogs out for walk and i got the tickets booked for our internal flights in Australia, so that is everything booked up and paid for now.
We had a bit of lunch, a nice tomato soup with bread for me, then i headed out to the gym again and did just that little bit more than yesterday, it has to be worth it, not that i want to be body beautiful but i dont want to be body ugly. After two grueling hours at the gym i stopped in at Lidl and bought a couple of cartons of milk and then headed home. Ant had the fire on when i got back and the living room was roasting hot, which is always nice. I went on line and had a look at the easiest way of getting him to work on Friday and back on Sunday, phoned Eurostar to reorganize the ticket he should have used when they stopped for the day. For dinner i roasted a nice bit of gammon which we had with some taboulé and potato salad, with plenty left for left overs and a bone for the dogs, it was a win win dinner which we all enjoyed. Ant and i sat chatting for a while after dinner then we watched a program about the relationship between humans and dogs, we had a gin and tonic, watched a bit more tv then went up to bed.
I have to say we are both really missing the smokes, we are still on the nicotine replacement therapy, going back on it has stopped me picking at food, which is good, though ant seems now to be eating more than he needs to. I have been invited out for lunch on Sunday for a friends birthday, which i have accepted but now wish i hadn't as i will be on my own again and have nothing to wear and all that. The days are dragging by and i seem to be getting more and more tetchy with ant, poor bugger is going to be a nervous wreck by the time we eventually get off the plane in Adelaide, i think i may have to go back on the smokes to counter act this.
