There was a time when G could quickly snap wonderful photos, but usually he takes too long and I have frozen into position, or become bored and fallen asleep. The timer is my friend now though I lust after a camera that will work with one of those remote thingys.<br /><br />I'd love to find some time to go back to private pilates classes. I did them for a while and the private classes are a must for me due to my anatomic limitations and restrictions. But they were fabulously helpful.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-52225280680689303942010-09-19T08:02:08.251-07:002010-09-19T08:02:08.251-07:00Lesley: Thanks for the link!

She's confirming every suspicion and clich&eacute: out there!<br />Alison: I hadn't known about Grazia but have now bookmarked their website. That seems a perfect mid-week treat. <br />LBR: I've had the odd private Pilates and it's great. I'm quite lucky that my regular class never has more than 7, because it's limited by the number of reformers that fit in the studio reasonably. I do prefer the class to stay at 5 or below, though, just to get that extra attention.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-35113814924845378592010-09-17T21:51:46.757-07:002010-09-17T21:51:46.757-07:00I can't help but notice that after your *naked...I can't help but notice that after your *naked* post you are now wearing some extra skin. And a gorgeous skin you are in. Love it!<br />I am planning some treats to get myself through the hard bits of the upcoming months. I have decided I am going to get back to the Pilates studio for some private sessions. That may not sound as delicious as a brioche or as decadent as a massage---but for me it is a real indulgence to have private sessions.La Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-58216582263754093442010-09-17T15:23:40.024-07:002010-09-17T15:23:40.024-07:00I must get a leather jacket for autumn.

I think those treats are crucial, I buy Grazia on Tuesdays, sad I know but it is just so much lighter than a newspaper. <br />Years ago I and a friend used to treat ourselves to fish and chips every Friday. My waistline would really suffer now but I know like you say it is those treats that we need to help us through the day especially this long, long term.indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-71322586144424271822010-09-17T02:57:27.358-07:002010-09-17T02:57:27.358-07:00I love your jacket - something similar is next on ...I love your jacket - something similar is next on my list. Hm, treats - I love my cup of tea, one in the morning, one with hubby when he comes home from work, and one at night (I know, but I usually sleep pretty well). And once a week we buy bars of chocolate at the supermarket - the boys eat it pretty much in one gulp, I eat a few squares at a time with my tea at night. (It's not even anything special - just Milka German chocolate.)
