Windlepoones's Journal, 14 Sep 16

What a beautiful day 30degrees Celsius wall to wall sunshine, but I needed to take my better half shopping. A couple of hours later we returned laden down with all sorts.

I was desperate to get out on the patio and get involved in some serious sunbathing.

After shooing the kitties off of the sun loungers, (I’m sure they were all German holiday makers in a previous life). Top off and shorts allowing my legs out for an airing I sprawled out and started to enjoy a few rays.

Lulu Lowcarb flitted out to join me with a couple of her turbo Pimm’s cocktails. Our lunch was ready, but neither of us was going to put the plates out on the patio dining table until we had polished off our pimms pint glasses.

I had put on a vinyl LP by the Beatles. The sounds of “Good day sunshine” drifted through the French windows. Having downed half the Pimm’s and getting a little merry and hot in the direct sunshine we got up and dusted off our best 70’s dance moves. Well it was one way of getting a flow of air over hot skin. All too soon the first side had finished. I had forgotten how short those vinyl records were in comparison to modern day CDs. So disappeared into the lounge and found another Beatles record this time the “Revolver” album “Taxman” boomed out followed by “Eleanor Rigby” and others. Ah sweet memories.

By the time the LP had finished we had both finished our first Pimm’s, time for lunch, a cheese and tuna salad, with sweet corn radishes and onion, we washed it down with a glass each of Apple cider vinegar. All too soon lunch was finished. The only thing I wanted to do now was indulge in our competitive sun bathing, but with another glass of Pimm’s. Lulu did her bit with the Pimm’s while I cleared away the luncheon plates.

Much later when I came to enter the drinks into my food diary I noticed the carbs in the turbo Pimm’s cocktails. There were 68 grams of carbs and 727 calories in just two pints of the stuff. Oh well that blew a hole in my carb intake for the day, but it was a great day. I will have to be more careful tomorrow. :o)
