Low Cloud

This morning I have woken up to very low cloud which gives the place quite an strange quiet feeling We have had two days of rain although yesterday afternoon the sun came out. My friends who live in Denia had storms which as always in Spain meant that people were without electricity. At least the rivers appear to be coping and as yet no floods have been reported. Today would be a perfect day to burn the garden rubbish but the wood and so on will not burn because it is so wet. The rain seems to have spurred the garden to grow and I noticed that hedge really need cutting. The large hedge at the front of the garden is a real pain to cut because it is so high and I have to hold a ladder for Colin to balance on to reach the top with the electric hedge trimmer.
I have decided that at the beginning of May I shall try and loose more weight. I shall go back on the Atkins diet for three weeks. I don't really like the diet because it is restrictive but I know it works and the last time I went on it I lost two stone. I find the main difficulty with the diet is that vegetables and fruit are restricted which I find difficult. My friends lost a lot of weight on the Slimmers World diet but I was not happy about paying the joining fee. Plus in Spain we do not have the support groups and have to rely on getting the information on line.
The reason that I want to loose more weight is because I'm probably going to a special occasion in the UK in June so I want to look my best. Once the weather improves I shall get back in the pool. Last year although I was swimming 50 lengths every day the weight did not shift. I did however notice that my muscles were firmer and toned.
I'm not sure what I am going to do today. I cant really do gardening because the ground is so wet. I had a look at the veg plot yesterday and it was covered in those pesky ants. I have nearly finished the arm warmers for my daughter and may go on to knit leg warmers to match. I quite like knitting with four needles. It took me a while to get used to holding the needles but once I mastered it its fairly easy.
Well that's it for this morning so have a good day and dont forget to like my greenerearth face book page. Thanks
