Outside the train station in Bremen, Germany. For some reason these young students photo-bombed the photo!!
Normality will be resumed soon…
The past week or so has been hectic but productive in the job seeking department and it looks like I have a third call back interview coming up soon for a forward thinking engineering firm.
Today I am catching up with chores, paperwork and normal family life.
In my mind I have got back on track with wanting to address my weight issues and realizing that life is short and I want Richard and I to be healthy enough to continue on our adventures on planet earth.
We had a wonderful weekend away in July in Bremen, Germany. Beer and Gooseberry cake featured heavily…not so good for the waistline but totally delicious.
I’m now back to the tried and tested 1940s food routine of porridge made with water for breakfast (I add some ground flax seed for Omega 3) and lunches are currently a hearty salad with seasonal raw veg, some kidney beans sprinkled over and a warm potato.
Tonight I will look in my recipe books for a pie..
I really fancy a pie.

It’s so wonderful to see a post from you Carolyn. I was reading through some of your past posts recently, as I’m on my own rationing journey. For me, it’s about eating healthily and saving money more than weight loss, but your blog is still so inspiring. I look forward to regular posts from you as soon as possible đŸ˜€

Great, his and hers beards! Good to see you getting out and about so much. That’s as much an inspiration as the diet.
