Change of plan...

...in that I've decided not to buy the guitar when I hit my ultimate goal, I know I love it, but I probably won't play it enough to make it worth the money. Instead I've decided to buy something equally extravagant, but that I'll definately get a lot more use out of. I really fancy a smart watch, a new Samsung Gear S3,

that I can sync up to my phone and get loads of apps for. Just for the heck of it. I love gadgets and the idea of a watch that I can use instead of my Garmin, and have it bluetooth info to Rnkeeper, appeals to me like crazy. TMM will shake his head and not understand. He's a total Luddite, unashamedly so, and he thinks I'm a magpie, after the latest shiney thing. I'm not gonna argue with that, coz he's right :-) But I'll defo get a lot of joy out of it. It will cost about as much as the cheapest version of the Gretsch guitar, which I wouldn't use too much anyway, as I love my acoustic Fender too much. So a Samsung Gear3 it will be. In about a stone's time. Exciting!!!

I've just been checking them out on line, and I don't know if I'll be able to wait till I'm at goal! No! I must make myself wait. It's my special treat for finally feeling as if I'm on maintenance. I need to earn it fully for it to mean what it's supposed to. So I'll jst have to hold my horses! At apound a week, I could have it in my sweaty, greedy little hands in three months. So time to save for it.

Tonight's dinner was a homemade fish chowder of sorts. By that I mean, it was a potato soup, with big chunks of different fish in it.

I made a big pot of it and ate half. It was an extremely generous amount, which filled me up nicely and used up pretty much all of the calories that I had left in my allowance. It means that I have had two meat free days in a row, with the quorn last night. Obviously not flesh free, but at least it wasn't red meat. I think I'll do chicken tomorrow. Red meat seems to sit heavy on TMM. God bless him, he gets the worst of every deal. He gets sick over Christmas, while I remain hale and hearty. He gets an upset tummy, while I seem to have a constitution of cast iron and egggs and red meat bind him up, while I get to go to the loo a couple of times a day normally. He totally lucked out. Mind you, he got the looks and the naturally tendancy to slimness, so perhaps there is balance in the universe after all :-)
