Feeling laid back...

We've just got back from a week's holiday in France and have had a thoroughly fantastic time. Piccies will follow... Neither of us had realised how tired we both were so both of us have come back having recharged our batteries.

I was thrilled because I was able to get my watch fixed that I had bought earlier in the year and which went dormant on me after just one wearing... Apparently, there is no language barrier to being a grumpy old woman. My language skills are improving. Yipee!

Malheuresement, I weighed myself when I got back and I have put on 7lbs in a week. For that I should have been able to gorge myself absolutely silly - but I didn't honest... The diet starts tomorrow again.

On a happier note, when I got back I had confirmation that I have had my professional Personnel status reinstated. I am thrilled, I had to work quite hard to prove it so I didn't take it for granted. I don't think that I will go back to the level of responsibility I have previously enjoyed (?!) but I am glad to work where I can build on my background and experience. It's all part and parcel of a level of normality.

And the icing on the cake is the tennis. Or it would be if rain hadn't stopped play. Things are looking up...
