Tom Petty & friends...

Not a bad Sunday. Despite a day indoors, finished chores & I challenge anyone to keep still whilst listening to the Traveling Wilburys !. Re being weighed - remembering stay on Cardiac Unit, Blackpool Victoria Hospital & the 2 x weekly weigh ins. Us ladies dreaded this cos we had been encouraged to eat well but not exert ourselves prior to surgery & the pounds were piling on. Lovely nurse Paul told tales of his beautiful Maine Coon cat called Stanley & how he weighed X amount of kilos. So, if it was Paul's duty to weigh us, he would tell us the result in Stanley equivalents ! Whilst recording the accurate amounts of course. It was a lot pleasanter keeping track of your weight in Stanley's. Thank you all @ Blackpool Victoria & to the NW paramedics that got me there. I owe it to all of them to get fit & slimmer again !

I love that, guess your weight in Stanleys!

Sounds like you've got good motivation and a good start today.

Probably just showing my ignorance, but not sure I recognize the Traveling Wilburys... Though I have heard of Tom Petty. Just. I'm really bad at band names and such! One of these days my husband will remember and stop asking me who was in what band or sang which song!

Thanks for your encouragement. Just FYI, The Wilburys were Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, George Harrison & Jeff. Lynn of ELO. Most noted for Handle With Care & End Of The Line. Fab music to move to.....good luck with your endeavours.

Thanks! I have at least heard of all of them!

Good luck to you too!

I love your post Berylsmum! The idea of Stanleys as a unit of weight really tweaked my imagination! Also thanks for the Wilburys reminder...I've been trying to think of some really beaty music to move to in the privacy of my front room. Am wearing a patch out on my carpet. Good luck with everything.
