100 Small Steps Challenge Days 43 - 49

Hi everyone,

No post last week as I was actually away. I took my 2 kids to Queenscliff for a week. We got a cabin at the Big4 Beacon Resort. Very nice. This post centres around that a fair bit.

Day 43 (Monday 11/1/10) We had been away since Saturday and this is a couple of ther things I took with me to relax with. I love doing the puzzles in the magazines and I also love to play Solitaire with the cards.










Day 44, Erin and I went over to the beach across the road. It was a bit gloomy so we didn't go down to the beach. When we were heading home to the cabin I decided these were a bit like a mini version of the 1000 steps. That is Erin going up them. They were hard work.







Day 45, The kids were driving me up the wall and one of the good things about them being older, I can leave them on their own for a little while...so I did just that. Erin and I had been in to Queenscliff in the morning and somehow I had lost my hat...must have fallen out of the car as I wasn't wearing it. Anyway being fair skinned and red haired, I had to go and get another one. I went into Point Lonsdale and bought another one. I was annoyed at this point so I had my book with me and I bought myself a cappuccino and yes that is a yoyo biscuit!!!! I did feel much better once I had had my little time out.

Day 46 Erin and I had another go at walking on the beach across the road. I had my hat...but it was too windy to wear it. The beach was empty which made for a very peaceful walk...especially with Erin deciding to go in for a swim. I told her it would be cold. Not one to be told she flew into the water only to come out again moments later telling me it was fffrrreeeeeezzzzing!!!!!



Yup she looks cold all right lol!!!!







Day 47 and we decided to go and play mini golf. This place has 2 fabulous courses....one all outside and the other with some indoors with slightly more gadgetry. Dale elected for the gadgetry. We were happily playing and were about to start the 8th hole when someone on the 12th hole said they had seen a brown snake...remember in mini golf the holes are close together so we had to all swap to the other course and continue where we left off. Dale was not at all pleased with that and kept his ball at the last hole and went and played the rest of the other course. He would still be there now if I had let him lol. (That is Erin on the first hole of the first course we were on)


Day 48 brought us to the end of our holiday and not wanting to attempt the M1 with all the roadworks chose to come from Queenscliff to Sorrento via the ferry service they run. This is Erin and me on the top deck of the ferry...it was very windy and billowed Erin's dress out. The hat was not on my head for very long....it went into my bag lol.







Day 49, and after taking my fluid tabs for a while, I thought I would take a pic of my "skinny" ankles. They have gone down heaps and even the doctor was very pleased with how it was going. I managed to lose 3.2kg in fluid...woohoo!!! I am still on the tablets and have another review early in February. All good :)






Ok that's it for another week. Stay safe everyone :)
