FaBuLoUs SunDaY

Today we were treated to a delicous meal by my best friend Trish and her husband Phil, for my birthday:)
It is great when celebrations last a few months. The photo's of the food are on my other blog

Here are photo's of Very Dear Friends

Trish, Phil and Angela, Trish the bestest friend ever, Phil her husband, who suffered a brain injury in 2002 and Phil's stepmother Angela,  she is only a couple of years older than Phil.

I can see a sparkle in Phil's eye's I haven't seen for years.  That smile is a real smile and that has been missing for years.  a reduction in tranqulliser's over the past few months have brought a postive change in this handsome guy.  I cannot tell you how happy this made me today


My dearest friend in the whole world, Trish, my angel, we have been through so much together and seperately over the years. We have laughed and cried through so much happiness and heartache,  She is just THE BEST.



Best Friends and New Friends, Ralph and Phil are still getting to know each other.
New people tend to stress Phil out, but he has met Ralph a few times now and  they get on well.
They have some things in common, 
both were in the Royal Air Force,
both are married to wonderful women:)
This is a photo of Friends Forever.

I ate frugally yesterday, had a banana a a nectarine for breakfast this morning. To save calories for this meal.
It was so worth it. The owner's of the restaurant have lost 9 stone between them and maintained the loss for three years, eating this kind of food. Trish told me the story while we were waiting for our meal, she told me that Kate had a pair of trousers that showed how much she had lost. So when she was serving our meal, I mentioned this too her saying I believed she had an interesting pair of trousers. She laughed and said "Oh yes, I will go and find them to show you." About fifteen minutes later she brought the trousers to us. Oh boy, that girl has lost some weight!! They must have been size 24 (British) and she is now size 12(British) She looks so good, I asked how she did it and the usual answer came back, healthy eating and exercise, in her case running and swimming. Why do I keep asking the secret? It isn't a secret, it is a well known fact!! Exercise burns calories, exercise boosts the metabolism, exercise is the answer!! Get on with it woman!!!!!!
