In my last post, Summertime and my poor neglected blog I wrote about my 'new' healthy regime, well I have continued with that, and am now 26.4 pounds or 12 kilos lighter!!! I have continued to walk every morning with Lucy my Miniature Pinscher, and we now walk approx 8.5km (just over 5 miles) most mornings. I have also joined a local municipal swimming pool where I attend two one hourly Aquagym classes every week, and I really love it!!! It's hard work but definitely good fun! I've ridden my bike a bit, but I honestly think I'd like to replace it with a mountain bike as mine doesn't have any gears and is really suited more to shopping in a town rather than riding out in the countryside!
I've taken lots of photos during my walks, and will share some here, but please forgive the lesser quality, they are taken on my iPhone.
We've seen some lovely sunrises....
Some beautiful empty beaches, now that the children have returned to school....
Views from the hills above where we live, and towards the mountains.....
We have also seen lots of flora and fauna! Donkeys, horses and asses.....
Goats and sheep......
Herons....(or could be an egret!)
Chili peppers....
Female peacocks....peahens?
Lovely flowers!
I also decided to have all my long hair cut off about six weeks ago too, it was down to mid back in length but I never did much with it apart from put it in a ponytail, so I went really short, and I feel like a new woman!!! (Apologies for the 'bathroom selfie', I don't take photos of myself very often!!!)
It's almost the same as I had for my wedding back in December 2005....
Hope those weren't too scary for you!!!!
On the dolly front I have been relatively quiet because my interest waned, probably due to the very hot weather. My doll/sewing room here on the coast is small and gets very very hot despite having the window open and the fan going full time....plus I really don't like spending time inside when the weather is so lovely. So as a result I've done very little sewing or playing! But I have done some ordering!!!! I have two little BJDs on order and hopefully they will arrived from South Korea some time before Christmas :)
However, I am currently customising a Blythe doll for a friend of mine, and am just waiting on the eyechips arriving. Once the doll is all completed and put back together I will share photos on here.
I have done a few wig changes with my bjds and today took some photos of my Fairyland Little Fee Antes. Fiona, the normal skin Ante, is one of the new wig recipients. I bought this Monique Gold Bubbles wig for her in Honey Blond but I thought it was too pale and made her look 'washed out', so yesterday I dyed it with tea and the colour has turned out perfect for her!
Well that's about it for today, I don't want to bore anyone too much! I hope you've enjoyed seeing some of my photos and also hope that you've all had an enjoyable summer.
Here's to the autumn!!!
