Another week, another set of scales saying I maintained! Wow! I don’t know how!

I have attended a baby shower, with cake and lots of food! Some cake came home withme and I have eaten bits on and off too!

Here’s me being silly at the baby shower!

Then there was Mother’s day and a Chinese meal out….

And we had a colleague’s leaving do at a great Turkish place!

And I can’t forget that Lil Man has been cooking and baked cakes!

But I still stayed on track the rest of the time (except the ice creams, and chocolate cakes, and chocolate nests…Shhh!)

And so to my recipe for today. I only started to eat prawns in September, and found a great dish that is Slimming World friendly. In fact it was a recipe from one of their magazines! So yummy!

Pak Choi Prawns!

Day 31- #musicalmarch🎵

Day 31 of  #musicalmarch🎵!

Can you believe another month has passed?  I could fill a year with songs that mean something to me, but alas I just had a month!

Today I chose, Killing Me Softly, by The Fugees, as it is a song I absolutely love singing! Lauren Hill is fantastic!

And for my Eastern final song, I give you… A bhangra song by some more Brummie boys, B21, from the 90’s. They brought a more modern feel to the songs, and again were dance floor fillers! Chandigarh, by B21!

Day 30 – #musicalmarch🎵

Day 30 of #musicalmarch🎵!

Well, penultimate day is here! And what better to post than Europe and The Final Countdown!

And another 90’s Bollywood song from Raja Hindustani, Pardesi Pardesi Jaana Nahin. This film got a lot of gossip as it had a proper, lip lock kiss in it, shock horror!

WRITESPIRATION #109 52 WEEKS IN 52 WORDS WEEK 13 – The Break

Sacha’s #writespiration prompt this week.

Your challenge is to write your story using the weekly theme/prompt and write it in just 52 words…. EXACTLY, no more, no less.

The Break

I don’t know when, exactly, that it happened, but it did.

All the signs were there, but I ignored them.

If I happened to notice anything amiss, I glossed over it.

Life was good, honestly. We were fine.

Then, one day I looked at my heart.

The break was clear to see.

Day 29 – #musicalmarch🎵

Oops! Sorry I’m a little late today! Scheduled the post to publish for the wrong time!!!!

Day 29 of #musicalmarch🎵!

A song whose lyrics mean more as I grow older. I haven’t experienced the loss of love as such, but the work a woman does, and sometimes not feeling appreciated… Karyn White and Superwoman.

And a track from another Brummie-based Bhangra singer today. Malkit Singh and Gur Nalo Ishq Mitha. It was a wedding favourite again in the 80’s and still gets people dancing!
