Well, hello folks. I've finally got round to updating this thing. Note to self: I really must start writing again! I just don't seem to get the inspiration or energy up just now to write blogs, but I'll give it a go. I'm seeing that I've got some more followers, so I really better give you something to read!
So, I have a job, my other half is pretty much living here, and I have a new car. Shame I don't have the licence to go with it, eh. Oh well. Anyways, yes. Life is going fairly well for me right now. Just back at work after being on holiday for two weeks, so not really enjoying the early mornings, but I'll get there in the end. The girls are brilliant though. There's barely a day that goes by where I don't laugh and get a good work out. Seriously, it's awesome and I can feel the fat burning off me. Or, I would, if I'd cut down the quantity of junk that I eat. Honestly, I eat a lot of steak, with chips, and cream sauce with onion and garlic in it, and veggies on the side. And then we usually go on to tan a tub of Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice cream. It's horrific how much we eat, but what can I say? We love our food. It's just doing my body no good. I think we need to cut down the quantity, but definately not the quality or change what we eat. If we didn't enjoy it, we wouldn't eat it.
(...by the way, I'll give you the recipe for my cream sauce to go with your steak. Honestly? It's amazing for wiping up with chips! I just need to work out how much of everything goes into it, so give me time!)
Anyway, what else can I write about? This is why I stopped for a start. I just didn't know what to write about and all my posts were very samey and I wasn't writing about my weightloss journey, since I went off-road quite a few months ago. I somehow need to get back on the rails and lose some weight. New plan? I'm going to cut back on how much food I consume, and then go like hell at work. Well... every day I'm pushing a trolley round, timed, and it's often very heavy, so I should push myself to do "green" runs or at least "amber", but if I challenge myself, I'll work harder and then I should use up more calories and it'll help me lose weight as well as toning up muscles I haven't used in years. Let's see how this works. I'll start on Monday...
For now though, I have garlic bread in the fridge, and lots of goodies in the freezer. Might have to freeze the bread though since I have nothing to have it with. It's normally just steak or pizza, and I haven't got steak and the pizza's frozen. So I might as well freeze it since it only takes a couple more minutes to cook and it actually comes out better - personally. So what to have for lunch/supper today? Not quite sure, but I'm convinced we'll find something.

Island Life
Good afternoon from the Isle Of Coll on the West Coast of Scotland. It's a beautiful place, even in the grey weather we have. I'll definitely be coming back when it's forecast to be sunny, and will take the man and my tripod with me so I can take some lovely pictures of the scenery. It's just amazing. Will take a car across as well so we can go touring around the place. It's like a wee maze, but it's awesome. This is the kind of place I could see myself setting up camp in permanently. Just have to sort out the mobile signal situation, and a good stock of irn bru and chocolate and I'm sorted. Or maybe we'll just come over here for the odd weekend to get away from everything. Would be really nice actually. Totally secluded from the mainland, with the necessities available and not much else. Saying that, as long as we have each other and food, we're sorted!
Anyways, since I haven't done that much of a post lately, I'm going to do a fairly lengthy one now. Sorry if you're getting bored already! You might be reading for a while, or get more bored and wander off into the vast universe of the internet. Wouldn't really surprise me, since I do tend to ramble on about nothing in particular.
I suppose I could tell you about my journey to Coll. Please, settle yourself in, get a cup of tea. I'll wait til you're back.... Back yet? Good. Now, snuggle up and keep reading. I started out at 12.35pm on the train from my village, and landed in Aberdeen at 1.10pm where I met the man, and we went for coffee, then a wander, then went for lunch at the usual steak place. When we finally got our meals though, the chicken wasn't cooked through, and I brought this to the attention of the staff. They were very apologetic and said they'd cancelled it off our bill. We thought we had just got a discount, but they'd cleared the entire bill, so we got 2 big meals for nothing. Quite amazing. But anyways, finally we headed to the station, and misty-eyed I kissed my man goodbye and went off onto the train for Perth.
I met my friend at 6.10pm and we went to Tesco for some last minute essentials and then headed back to his where I was given a pizza. Given = fresh pizza, from the fridge, told to cook it. That was awesome. I can cook pizza, and managed to eat it all, which rather surprised me! We then toddled round to his Gran's before going back to his again and then prepared to leave... at midnight. We were on the road at 12am sharp and were in Oban at 2.47am, which was rather good, but then it meant trying to sleep. Of course, I couldn't because I got so restless as usual and spent the next hour and a half twitching. However, we finally got let onto the ferry with the car and I walked on.
All in all, I'm bored of typing about a random time away without the man, and it doesn't help that I've forgotten most of what happened - this was started on the 6th of August... So, I'll just say it was an amazing time and I think I'll be back at some point, taking the man with me.
Toodle-oo
