Bye Bye Sun !

And it was fun while it lasted.

I can honestly conclude that winter is definitely setting in. We've had rain for the last 4 days straight - and much cooler temperatures than the mid to high 30's of February and intermittently in March.

And this morning - the heating actually turned on in the house. Brrr. No wonder I felt cold when I woke up , it was cold!

Time to haul out the winter bedding , and re-arrange the heaters, possibly situate one right next to my desk  and start evaluating my sunlight needs. Winter here in Melbourne is so grey and miserable. And I am one of those people who just battle so much with the lack of sunlight. I've learnt these last 3 years . I need to get out at least once a day during the daylight. I need to be active . And I need to have a slew of social engagements that keep my mind occupied and distracted.

So it's a good thing that work is taking off like a rocket - my calendar fills up almost 2 weeks in advance these days ... and I see it getting busier as the year goes on.

I've had my fill today though  of exercise and being outside thanks to Hamish. My first sign of winter is usually  the cat litter tray.

Hamish prefers to go outside to his little patch of garden down in the corner for his ablutions. In winter however - that litter tray fills up quick quick, because he is not interested one jot in putting his soft little kitty paws outside in the rain at all.

I don't blame him - it was cold wet and miserable this morning. I hope he appreciates how much I love him, damn nuisance cat .

Banting Confessions ...

OK. So in the food department, I've been eating High Fat Low Carb for a little over a two years now. And it's working. My weight has plummetted. My general health and energy levels are sky rocketing. I have gone down in size. You can see my waist again ! Key things I need to confess , lest people misunderstand how I eat. First up, I eat LOW Carb. Not NO Carb. I don't eat starch, or any HIGH carb high starch food food. But it's not possible to eat NO carb unless you completely avoid all veggies of all kinds and live on meat and fat. LCHF stands for LOW carb HIGH fat. In fact, I eat a wide wide range of veggies, that are all high in fibre and nutrients, and seriously seriously low in carbs . Like below 5g per 100g type of low. There are a surprisingly large number of vegetables on this list. And I eat as much of them as like, as often as I like. This is known as the GREEN list. Meats and most animal fats are also on the GREEN list, but, and heres the other ...

CHECK OUT THE DOUBLE RAINBOW !!! So stoked that my phone camera actually picked it up

Thoughts on my Official Aussie-fication

Aussie-fication. That process whereby one becomes a naturalised citizen of the Aussie Aussie Aussie , Oi Oi Oi Universe. Not to be confused with a simple citizenship ceremony. Those are so 1990 darl. I am an Aussie (with some sad but ingrained Saffer DNA , it's a tough life mate). And I almost have the certificate to prove it. Aussie-fication begins in earnest the first time you use the word mate. Sincerely and without satire, sarcasm or feeling self-conscious.
