Obviously Losing Weight is not Good for You (Me)

A beautiful sunny morning, and day, with the temperature climbing up into the 70’s. We’d decided yesterday that we would just hang around the campsite today if the weather was good, as we are heading off on the mighty trek to Pensacola, Florida tomorrow.

As some of you may be aware both Lyn and I have being doing a bit of dieting since  just before Christmas, and we have both lost just over 25 pounds each. Unfortunately, I have also started to suffer from allergies, which I am assuming are pollen related, or could it be the dieting? Maybe I need a few chocolate bars and doughnuts to ward off the pollen!

We actually headed out for a while to do our weekly shopping, but I behaved and resisted the urge to do some geocahing, despite the fact that I am at 99 caches found.

Just before lunch we were plagued with a yapping dog from a nearby trailer; the owners had just gone out and the dog was not amused. This noise carried on for the best part of an hour. I was at the point where I was considering going over to the office to complain when we saw the resort owner driving around. Before we could say anything she stopped and spoke to Lyn saying that the noise was unacceptable. We figured that she would have words with the dogs owners when they got back, but in fact she phoned them and asked them to return to their RV immediately, which they did. I was very impressed.

We walked for about a mile around the resort, it’s amazing what a burst of good weather does, there were a lot of people out cycling, walking, working on their RV or truck or just sitting around relaxing outside. On the cooler days we can walk around the place and not see anyone.

Back at the RV I did a little work on the roof, cleaning the bedroom vent. Unfortunately a little repair work is needed as the vent cover has been affected by the UV from exposure to the strong sun and has got so brittle that it is starting to crack.

There’s no rest for the retired.
