And the barometer says 'Fair Weather'

The reference to the barometer above is because I am, always have been and always will be - a daily weigher.  I make no apologies for it.  For me it's like a barometer of how I'm going and how my body is doing.  I can honestly say that I don't get too hung up on the number but often it provides a warning that it's time to get back on track and other times a nice little drop gives my day a special start.  But this past ten days despite being spot on everyday that little barometer was stuck on just about the same setting every day - down 100g and up 100g.  However this morning it finally moved properly and I'm 400g down this week so feeling quite happy about that.  And here's my chart - managed a bit more excercise this week so that probably helped too.

Yesterday Bloss and I decided to go for a bit of a drive and check out the Boyne Valley - that's an area upstream from the river our home fronts on to and between us and the Valley is a large dam.  It was enlarged to double it's size about 8 years ago just in time for the rainfall from Cyclone Benni but has never been anywhere like near to being full and most of us thought we'd never see it in our lifetime.  But the recent massive rainfall we've had has almost tipped it over the top.  So some photos below of our drive and the dam.

This is the view looking towards the spillway

As you can see it's pretty close to the top

Its capacity is 40 so very nearly there

Raining again in this photo - this is in the Boyne Valley and the edge of the dam - it now has a surface area of about 14,000 acres.

Zanna and I - she came for the drive

This is the Boyne river near its start

Then we headed over the range - here's Bloss and Zanna at the lookout area at the top of the range

A floodway on the other side of the range - water running over the road

On Saturday Shaz and I decided we'd go and check out a little boutique in a nearby town as I'd heard some good things about it.

Unfortunately they only get new stock in small lots since it's only a small shop and of course all the 12,14,16s go first so she had a lot of 10s and a lot of 18 pluses but not too much in the middle.  However I managed to find these two little snips

This skirt is quite beautiful with a handkerchief hemline - very fitted - so just as well my tummy is a lot flatter than a few months ago!

And this little chocolate brown cardi goes beautifully with it.  A bargain at just under $60 for both.

And that's the news from me possums - feeling all invigorated and ready for another on track week.  And as I said to someone else in Blogland - watch out for low flying Hot Cross Buns and Easter Eggs!!!

Happy Easter everyone
