WW and Skype

Just got back from what my husband affectionately calls his favorite charity, Weight Watchers. I have been an on-and-off member for ages and now it is time again. One of the reasons is that my skinny-marrink husband has put on a little bit of weight since we came to Australia. It is really no big deal but since he has always been slim and can't stand his little paunch for which we tease him mercilessly he wants to lose weight. And I have a lot to lose so ..... bring it on!

The problem is that we are still on our honeymoon experience when it comes to enjoying the abundance of food and places to have food here in Sydney. With all the different nationalities here you can find so many different types of food. And don't get me started on the seafood, yum! And the nice wine to go with it! In the photo you can see our UK friends and me enjoying seafood at the Sydney Fish Market.

But there comes a time when you have to draw the line and maybe this is the time, but we are not promising anything, but we will keep you posted if there is significant success.

On a completely different note, what did we do before Skype? I love getting up in the morning and switching on the computer to ses that one or maybe both of our daughters are on and that we can have a little chat. It is evening for them so they have time usually. Or maybe one of my friends back in Europe is on and we can have a good chinwag. And it is free!! The phone bill used to be our biggest expense when we lived in France in the old days.

Now that we are so far away and our family is so spread out it is such a blessing to be able to communicate on a regular basis.
