A week just flew by

Anyone notice how quickly that went?  I'm on holidays from work for two weeks and one week has just gone whoosh.  Hmm what have I been up to this last week?

I've done a bit of scrapping, a bit of knitting, a bit of shopping, oh okay a lot of shopping!

I've bought paint ready for next week to start painting the bathroom, laundry and toilet.  I have all the disposable shower caps ready that I've nicked from various motel stays, they come in very handy when painting a ceiling, don't you know?

I've also done a lot of exercise, met up with a new friend and worked out at her gym.   I have actually gotten to the stage now, one of my goals, to running 1km on the treadmill without stopping.  Such a huge accomplishment for me.   I've now lost 16.5 kg and I dare say the running is probably getting easier with each kg that disappears.  But yes, running is one of my goals.  I've never hit the 1km mark before without run/walk/run the whole way.  So it was a huge achievement.

I went to Geelong last Friday on the train, decided I couldn't be bothered driving and took the train there and back.  So relaxing, it still gave me a good 5-6 hours to wander, lunch, shop.  I spent way too much money at the wool shop, there's a great wool shop in Ryrie Street, but I now have yarn ready for my next three projects, all Christmas gifts.

Speaking of Christmas, it was with a shock horror that I saw they were setting up the Christmas Shop in Myer!!!!!!  Come on Mr. Myer, it's the start of September for goodness sake.  No one, and I mean NO ONE is yet putting up their Christmas tree and need to buy decorations yet, I assure you.

In scrapping I've made a double page layout from some of the random photos I took at the Robbie Burns Festival from a few weeks back.   Or "Rabbie Burns" as the ol' bard was affectionately known.

Enjoy your week.  Wish me luck with the painting!
