Slimming can be fun!

 We are always up early on Fridays, for our Slimming World group meeting at 9:30am. A friend asked why we went, as we're paying someone for something we can do ourselves. She's as thin as a rake!! But we don't just go to lose weight, its a social thing as well and since moving here, the friends we've made are in SW. 

Yesterday morning, we were  laughing hysterically , when one was telling us about her husband.  He had bought a model boat a while ago and recently bought a motor and fitted it. He went off with it to try it out on the Wilderness Lake. 

He had been gone about an hour and arrived back home, because the motor had died and his boat was adrift on the lake. He phoned a friend who has a coracle to get his boat, but he was away. So armed with his fishing rod, a net and a friend's swimming pool pole he rushed off again. She said she started getting worried when it started getting dark, because the Wilderness Lake has been made much bigger and deeper a few years ago and with the recent rains, it has spread right into the trees.

When she heard the car drive up, she opened the door to see her husband with his jacket wrapped around his legs and carrying wet dripping jeans. Yes, he had waded in to retrieve his boat and was wet up past his chest. 

We did laugh and she said he did look very funny as he arrived home, but triumphantly holding his boat. 

So we have lots of laughter at our slimming club. He laughed too she said, once he'd had a hot shower..
