Ho, Ho, Ho and a bottle of rum!
I'm wearing a black eye patch and it aint pretty especially with my glasses over the top.
I can't think how many times we've been into our local pharmacy and forgotten to ask if they have eye patches. Today I was in enough distress to remember. I bought a hard plastic cover on an elastic band and it's working. I can even see well enough to read and type. We're having cool frosty weather and while I'm generally comfortable my eye is not.
It was a beautiful morning and we had forgotten a couple of things off the shopping list John did yesterday. Some weeks ago John took the first step toward getting the old purple bus, (our motorhome), on the road again. One of the break lines had a leak and he'd taken it to a local mechanic but he didn't have the right tools. We decided it would have to go to Thames. Two excuses to just go out for our own pleasure. There was a third reason too. We only had 2 days to use the 2nd voucher Jackie gave us for Colenso Orchard Cafe.
We had lunch at Colenso after a leisurely start to our trip. We both had the Vegetable Frittata, the only wheat free option. John is being so good about this. I think the Wheat Belly book made quite as impression. I'm glad to say I seem to have given up cappuccinos. I am preferring black unsweetened coffee. It was a pleasant drive to Thames to drop of the part that needed to be rebuilt. We'll be able to pick it up on our way home from our long weekend on June 11th. Our old bus is nearly 45 years old so repairs and modifications take a bit of thinking through and working out.
I stopped eating wheat and most other grains 150 days ago. John joined in with me a week ago. Only two nights and I will have a new official weight. My weight loss for May has been disappointing but I have managed to lose a little.
