A Weekend Full of Compliments

This weekend has been great.  I have had compliments left right and centre and soon my head will be too big to fit through any doors. 


First off, on Friday night, I was told by Gemma that 'You look amazing, you should be on the front cover of Cosmo'.  Wow, thanks Gemma!  This was because as, mentioned in a previous post, I was wearing a baker boy hat and my hair was really wavy because I'd had it in a plait all day.  I was also wearing a denim mini skirt with boxer boots and a sleeveless roll neck top which was very retro. 


Yesterday morning, when running with John, he also commented on how great I looked on Friday night and told me that I was 'a very attractive woman'. 


Then there was the compliment which didn't really sound very complimentary.  It came from Duncan, who else?  I was commenting on my weight and saying that I couldn't understand how I had got so heavy when my gilet was now easier to zip up than it used to be.  He said it was because I had put on muscle weight rather than fat.  I said, do you really think so and he said, and I quote, 'Yes, your thighs are massive!'.  He meant it in a complimentary way as in your thighs are muscular but telling a girl her thighs are massive isn't the best line.


The best compliment of all, however, came from my trip to Aldi.  I was at the checkout with my shopping which included a couple of bottles of wine when the cashier asked whether I had any ID.  I then realised that I didn't have any because I only had my cash card with me and no purse.  I told him that I was really flattered but that I was born in 1978 and am 37 years old.  He was really hesitant and didn't want to serve me but I managed to convince him in the end, although he did then say that he was now worried he would get into trouble for not having seen my ID. 


Turning to tonight's run, I met up with the Hillbillies at the barn this evening for our usual Monday night recovery run.  I was feeling a bit sluggish at first, probably because John had put me through my paces yesterday, but once I got half way up Two Lads I started to come alive a bit. 


Nothing to report other than, yet again, there was no cake.  Disappointing.
