My goodness, I was getting worried about my lack of crafting time. I have been so busy walking and weighing and measuring. . . . guess what? Today I went swimming for the first time in 3 or 4 years. I spent 90 minutes in the water, swimming, treading water or moving. When I wasn't in the water I was climbing a large spiral staircase up to the water slides/tubes. I did check with a lifeguard that I wouldn't break anything. Euan had a whale of a time and was very impressed with the tidal waves I made hitting the water at the bottom of the slides. We both loved the wave machine too. I felt really embarrassed in my costume and nearly bottled out of going, but I decided to 'Man it' and just go. I can't believe I have actually christened 'The Costume'. Yesterday Pedro Pedometer said I walked 7.5 miles, that was two school runs and a dog walk. The dog is nagging me right now to go out, but I am trying to time it as we have had April showers and Hail storms. My Other Half has just said 'Can you believe it is nearly May?' I can't quite, can you?
I wanted to show you my crochet 'Hexagon' progress. I managed some hooky time yesterday and will hopefully manage some more tonight. Can anyone guess what I am attempting to make yet? What do you think of my colour choice? If you don't like it, I am not 'frogging'! I am unsure about the colours but I am definitely not a 'frogger'. I am at the flummoxed stage of where to go with this now but I will take the proverbial 'Bull by the horns' and 'Keep Calm and Carry Yarn!'
Another one of these will take the edge off any uncertainties I am having about it. I really should get my self some 'nice' glasses. Well I am off for a stroll around 'Blogland' and if the April Showers hold off, I may have a stroll around the 'real' world.
Hope you are all having a good weekend doing whatever it is that makes you happy. :) xxx
Fruit flies like a banana? You crack me up!! I think your colour choice is lovely as is your choice of beverage, cheers! :P
ReplyDeleteTook me ages to get that! 'Fruit Flies like a banana'! Doh lol :)
DeleteOh I get it now LOL. Fruit flies LIKE a banana ROFL you are so funny.
DeleteLucy, I love your blog. You always take the mundane and make it funny and put it all in perspective. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kashi that is a lovely compliment. :) x
DeleteI'd love to see those hexagons, are you making a blanket? Glad to hear you've had some more crafting time, I always feel like I'm missing out if I have to do other things and can't crochet!
ReplyDeleteHiya Nicole, do you think we are addicts? A blankie was a good guess but Claire is right I am trying to make a jacket, I thing her words 'You can't fathom it out until the end' have hit the nail on the head! :)
DeleteAre you making one of those surprise jackets where you can't fathom it out until the last minute? Looks good whatever it is!!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the swimming thing, it takes alot of courage, but just shows how serious you are about getting fit.
You stumped me with the drink, I was wondering why water and lemon would take the edge off any uncertainties!! You can tell I'm a beer drinker!!
Claire, you are right! I might bring it round to your house crying with frustration! :) How is your 'Star Jacket' coming along? Me and you, Coconut Island and hooks in hand! x
DeleteThat sounds like a plan!! ;)
Deletewhat a great fun post, I am the same as you creating tidal waves, while swimming, lol,and i had to lol at the Keep Calm and Carry Yarn, so apt for us crochet lovers
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are doing a great job staying on top of your game with your exercise! Congrats! Keep up the excellent work. You still have me curious about your current hooky project. The only thing I can think of is some sort of wrap, sarape kind of thing. Hopefully we'll see it completed sometime soon :)

Well done with the keep fit - summer is approaching fast and I need to speed up my keep fit. Two years ago I ran the London Marathon - don't think I could manage it today:(
ReplyDeleteYou seem to do really great with your exercise! Go you! I think wearing the bathing suit for the first time might have been the hardest, now you know it went well :-) you can easily do more of these fun days in the pool :-) I love the slides!
