The Preparations

The first of the visitors landed today

With more to arrive later on this evening

I am hoofed out of my room for a couple of nights

And will be sleeping on the couch

I got my hair done today 

Which you can see photos of below 

She did a tight curl

So it will hold until tomorrow

And also two thin plaits along the side of my head

Coping wise 

So far so good

And dare I say it

I'm even looking forward to tomorrow night

I've seen the menu 

And my mouth was watering reading it

I already know what I'm going to order 

The slow cooked braised beef

Oh my God

Total food porn

After I got my hair done this morning

I was in the supermarket picking up a few things

I ran in to a woman that I used to know

She is the mother of two girls that used to be in my dance class

We chatted for a couple of minutes

She told me that I look really well

I have to admit

That I still find it really hard to hear that

I know people want to be nice

And want to pay a compliment 

But I can't help but connect the comment to my weight

In that I've put on weight 

Below are some photos of the outfit I am wearing tomorrow

I took so many photos

As nine times out of ten 

I look so very chubby

Round 

Rotund 

I don't like it 

Anyway 

Enough of my bitching about my weight

Here are said photos 

The best of a bad lot.....
