An interesting day in the hills........

    Since the weather has been so glorious lately I went for a little hike in the hills today. Nothing too strenuous, just a short 20km with a lunch stop at the end.

    It was a first for me in many ways though................

    I have these horrible musclely (is that a word??) arms which are the result of my past, I've learnt to camoflage them with clothing well enough but in a strappy top my shoulders and arms do stand out. However, I wouldn't let that stop me doing anything so I put on a sports vest top and a hiking skirt and off I went. Oh yes, the other reason was to test my make up and how it held up to the heat and sweat.

    Anyway, the make up passed with flying colours, not the slightest blemish at all. As for my arms, well, me being me, and not a person to do anything by halves, I found a really busy cafe for lunch with lots of guests and passers by, in order that I couldn't hide myself in a corner somewhere! (not my style) I actually ended up with a family sharing my table and we just had a good old chat. The result is, I'm now much more comfortable with my shoulders and arms than I was this time yesterday, even if I do look like and East German Olympian, lol.

    The weather is supposed to be fantastic on Thursday so I'm off for a swim and some sunbathing in my bikini, I think that will pretty much be the final test of how far I can go. I can't think of anything more difficult at this point.

    Hope it's sunny where you are too.........
