A week in photos

As you may be able to tell, from the radio silence, I have been on holiday. I had planned to post last week,  but as soon as I turned my laptop on, I was hit with a load of work emails and Skype messages, far too depressing so that immediately got turned off.

I had a lovely week off, shame the weather was so utterly crapola. It is starting to depress me now. I got all gung ho when we had that nice week and got out all of my summer clothes, I am now sat shivering at my desk with a heater on. Come on UK, sort it out.

So, the week off was spent doing lots of lovely things. We had a couple of nights in a Spa hotel, a lunch with friends, an afternoon tea, a weekend in Stockholm and my 36th Birthday (I am so old).

Probably easier if I just post (a lot) of photos. Since it was my birthday yesterday (did I mention this already??!) There was a lot of nice food and some alcohol involved.... I imagine I'm about 2 stone heavier... but it was worth it.

 The last place deserves a mention all of it's own - Matbaren in Stockholm. It was utterly amazing. The dishes are all the same size, so you chose one by one and see how you get on. I managed 4, but I wish I could have done more. Everything was utterly delicious - seriously, that Lemon Sole - out of this world...

We walked loads over the past week, went to the gym a few times and I listened to the Slim Pods every day. I'm definitely more mindful of what I am eating - i.e. less of it, but I am not sure there is a massive change in my behaviour. We will see the damage tomorrow, I guess.

Back to earth with a bang today. Work, miserable weather and PT planned for tonight. Ouch.
