Trim, Toy and Territory

Another busy week in the life of Zanna - lots happening but still no exercise - I WILL get to that! Went to see my hairdresser on Wednesday night - yet another different style - my hair is incredibly fine so keeping it longer is a right royal pain in the axx, so weve had a bit of a trim. Back again this week for the colour - might do something a bit different there too - you will just have to wait and see what the next post brings! Ive been thinking for some time now that Id like a smaller lighter laptop - especially for travelling as my current one is bloody heavy to lug around. Id been leaning in favour of one of the mini notebooks - about a 10.2 ins screen. But then on Wednesday night talking to my hairdressers husband who is in the PC field, he cautioned me saying that they may be small but they operate a lot slower than a standard notebook. So I did a bit of net research and found he was dead right. So then thought Id look for a 12 or 13 ins notebook which would have the same processor as my current one but would be a lot lighter. I was in no rush for all of this - just looking around, checking stuff out on the net etc. But yesterday our local Harvey Norman had a huge sale so I thought Id just pop in and see what they had. I was captivated by a lovely little 12.1ins Compaq which has as good a spec as my current laptop but it is about 1.3kgs lighter and let me tell you when youre lugging it around on and off plans and through airports - 1.3kgs makes one hell of a difference. (Note to all - never scoff at a loss of just over a kilo!!) Here it is. Looks just like a normal laptop here but is actually quite dinky. (And it was reduced by $600 so as Bloss would say - I couldnt afford not to!!!)

So thats the trim and the toy - the territory - well since Mum and Co left Ive been stopping, starting and generally faffing around with my weight but I am pleased to report that I have been very focussed over the past four weeks and my count to ten pile has finally taken a surge forward. But as well as this I am into territory that I havent been for at least six months so feeling much better about that. Still alcohol free - which seems to make a vast difference for me - not sure how long I plan to keep this up - but its saving me a fortune, encourages Bloss to imbibe less and my weight is trickling away nicely. Did a bit of a new look for the Travelling Tart - like the template but it seems to be a bit wonky with photos and spacing - not sure how long Ill put up with that!! But the two chairs in the header are for Bloss and I to look out over the world and decide where we are going next! Think thats my news for the week, so hoping you are all healthy and happy. Take care Love Z xx ps - Im sitting up in bed typing this on my old laptop so there are still no apostrophes - but that too will be fixed this week and my old laptop will live by my bedside for late night and weekend surfing!!
