Monday and new beginnings

My friend Tiffany said last week how she likes to start the week well and I feel I managed it today.
We went for a long run/walk first thing then got the supermarket shopping out of the way before lunch. For once we had all the reusable bags we needed to put everything in and managed to pack them up before the cashier started to serve the next person (a pet hate of mine here where no matter how much you have spent in the shop they still see you as a nuisance if you don’t get out of the way to allow the next person through)
In the afternoon I went to a new drawing class with our friend Dolores. There were eight of us, all women, sitting around a large table and listening to UB40. The teacher Jordi taught us about the proportions of the human body and face and then after practising this, we read a short story and drew from our imagination some of the images from the tale
It is also my first day of trying to eat less. I stopped smoking (yes again!) a month ago and it has led to the inevitable. My plan wasn’t very radical – just to stop when I’m full. So I had only two slices of toast, I left the last raviolis in the dish and I only had one digestive biscuit with my tea. The challenge will come on Wednesday when I meet Tiffany in town.

Is it possible to meet for coffee and not eat a cake?

    YES! OMG! I can’t understand it. Spain is so laid-back in everything, which I love, and then you get to the cashier and you have to bag like a mad person! Don’t get it. I take my time anyway, which pisses everyone off!
