I bought a hammock from Asda on Saturday, and gave up on putting it together. I returned it on Sunday and bought a string-type hammock from Argos. It was lovely.

While it lasted. Being so big, the hammock is now very stretched and mybottom touches the grass when i sit on it. I think that i should buy myself a lovely new proper hammock when i have lost two stone.

Oh how i enjoyed lying in the sun with a book, gently swinging. It was a marvellous feeling.

Oh - I'm getting a personal trainer! Not every week, but enough to get me kick-started.
