Denim

Thank you so much. I just love the pool. All the pools are closed here because of Covid and I miss swimming. And a LOW FAT cheese cake. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate and spend my day. I am definitely going to have to bestow some kind of Royal Title on you ...... well as soon as I get my Crown back! 

Ot feels so good to be 6 months free of the terrible addiction. Keeping firmly focused on the Royal Palace\club house because I am sure that was where I left my crown a few years back

Thanks for being my personal cheer squad

Hey Caz, 

     Glad you got your bike back. I hope the massage helped your shoulder as you hoped. Hard to believe it’s almost two and half years but I’m so grateful for them.  Thank you! I’m so happy the Champix helped. It helped Cindi a lot too when she quit. However you did it, you’re doing amazing. Six months! YAY CAZ. That’s wonderful! You’re doing great. I hope that Suzy is still doing good with her quit also. I haven’t heard from her for a while. It’s good to see Anthony still posting. I wish him the best as he continues on too. How are doing otherwise? Still staying busy? We’re supposed to have storms here tomorrow, at least that what they’re predicting and, of course, I have to go out tomorrow. How did they know? Lol. On another note, I’ve lost a lot of weight throughout these months. That’s good with the except that I don’t have any idea what sizes of clothes I actually wear these days, lol. Makes it difficult to buy more when I don’t know what size I need!  Nonetheless, I’m glad I lost the weight that I initially put on, plus some extra. How’s the garden? Are you still doing the virtual walk? I’m sorry I didn’t get to get back here sooner to answer the post from you and others. I’ll continue to try though as much as I can and as often. Hopefully more so soon. Continuing to cross my fingers. Anyway, I want to get this posted so hopefully you’ll see it and we’ll talk more soon. Hope you have the terrific and fun day you deserve. Hugs. 

Majesty, 

    You must have answered as I was typing another post to you, lol. Great minds....  

     I’m so happy you’re enjoying the cheesecake. I hope you’ll find the drink refreshing also. 

     The pools are closed here too. Thankfully the Queen can have her own.  BTW, I love to go swimming too. 

     Majesty, I humbly thank you and I’ve no doubt about your crown. I’m sure it awaits you at the Royal Palace and I look forward to preparing the grand banquet to celebrate your return. In the meantime may I say, welcome back to the Palace of The Six Months.  

Hi Denim

im still having problems with the shoulder. I will probably have to have it scanned or something as resting it doesn’t seem to have worked. I think it’s a couple of months now. I sometimes talk to Suzy on the phone. I might give her a ring again soon. She was well the last time we talked. 

I completed the virtual Camino and am doing 2 more now. Hadrians wall and the Ring of Kerry in Ireland 

it has been amazing how motivating it had been. We have gone back into lockdown 2. It’s harder than the first time. Kind of feels like life will never go back to what it was.  Haven’t been in the garden much because it been very cold and the shoulder is not helping. Been busy painting knitting and re doing all my old Italian lessons.

well the sun is out today so I will get out there and ride again. Spring is probably not far off as I see some of my daffodils have decided to flower. 

Thanks so much for the on going support and I guess we will talk next month

sll the best

Hello Denim, just reporting in to let you know that I’m still smoke-free and celebrating seven months. I’ve still got a problem with my shoulder but I finally went and had it scanned last week so maybe we will find out what’s actually wrong with it. The last massage massage I had about six weeks ago, the masseuse managed to stuff my hips as well so now Both my hips and my shoulder are giving me a horror of  a time. I’m still getting out on the bike every day. The problem is when I get back my hips are so bad I have to lay down for half an hour which feels like I’m kinda defeating the purpose really. Oh well I’m not gonna let it beat me. We are still in lockdown over here which is really starting to get boring. But it is what it is I guess not much we can do about it. It’s spring time now though and the weather is improving which is also making the grass grow so now I have to go next door and ask my neighbour if he can come and start my lawnmower for me so I can mow some grass .

The grass  waits for nobody.Have a great weekend and will talk again next month the queen

Hey Caz, 

     Huge congratulations on ten months smoke free. Sorry I’ve not been around the forum for a while but you have been in my thoughts. Are your shoulder and hips still bothersome? I hope they’re feeling better. Are you still riding? How are things going with you? I haven’t written to anyone in our group since I last messaged you. I hope everyone is doing good and staying safe and healthy. The holidays are here and what a year.  I hope the New Year is better for everyone everywhere. Nonetheless, in the meantime, I wish everyone as happy a holiday season as possible. I hope you treat yourself to something special today. Ten months is a wonderful achievement and only two months from the Castle Clubhouse Majesty. I’m so happy for you and of course preparations are being made for your arrival.  If you talk to Suzy please tell her hi for me, thanks. I’ll check back in soon and hope that you see this message. Hugs. 

 Hi Denim, thank you so much for wishing me well on my 10 months of no smoking. It’s lovely that you remember me. I’ve been seeing a physiotherapist for my frozen shoulder and my bad hips. My shoulder has made a phenomenal recovery due to the exercises that the physio therapist has given me to do. He also gave me exercises for my hip. The hip is coming along but not as quickly as the shoulder. I live in hope ha ha.

 We are currently in the middle of summer which is lovely, and we are currently free of community transmission of coronavirus. We have a couple of cases of people who are in quarantine who have returned from overseas. But at this point we are currently free of Covid it’s amazing. All of our restrictions have been eased but we still have to wear masks in busy shopping centres and other places where there’s lots of people. I really hope that we can travel again next year because I really want to go back to Fiji. I do talk to Suzy occasionally on the phone so the next time I’m talking to her I will certainly mention you to her and say you said hello. Yes I am looking forward to getting to the clubhouse and I am fully expecting a right royal greeting. Giggle!   I hope all is well with you and you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Stay safe 

Caz

Hey Caz, 

     Happy New Year!  

     I hope your shoulder and hips are continuing to improve and that you’re enjoying the warm Summer weather. 

     It’s wonderful to hear that it’s free of covid there. That is amazing. I’ll be happy when it’s eradicated everywhere. Hopefully sooner rather than later.  

     Only a few days until your 11 month celebration. Can’t wait to celebrate with you. I hope you’re planning to treat yourself to something special. 

    I’m going to make a few other post on the forum to send more Happy New Year wishes.

Talk soon.
