Georgy has been named

 Good morning Blogger friends.  Last month I posted how I received a rescue kitten which my neighbor had found on the farm road. At the time the kitty had not been named; I didn't   know its gender; I still don't know... My friend, Caroline took one look at the little cat and said, Georgy is a good name. No matter what it turns out to be, Georgy will suit. 

Well, Georgy has settled in wonderfully and is wreaking havoc with all his/her energy. The big cats have accepted the new kitty although Missy dishes out hefty swipes when Georgy  gets under her skin. Mama tussles has quite rough tussles  with Georgy.  I remember when she played with Missy in this manner. That was way back in 2018!

and hurling that tiny body into open cupboards

No excuse!

 Good morning dearest Blogger friends. I have no excuse (except work, work and more work) that I've not been on Blogger. However, here I am back again! 

In between, Skabby and I manage to take a walk on the farm.

Is this a good pose for your blog, Mum?

HAVE A WONDERFUL MONDAY!

Weigh-Less open meeting

 Good morning dear Blogger friends. In yesterday's post, I mentioned that a Goal Weight Member of mine agreed to be a guest speaker at an open meeting to be held next week. This is an effort of mine to increase membership in our venue groups. Many of the members who were used to physically attend a Weigh-Less group meeting, did not actually enjoy doing the "online weigh-in". While almost 80% reached their goal weight while we were still under Lockdown, a few just dropped out. 

Upon re-opening groups in September 2020, the membership and attendance has been sparse. But this is the same with the local Book Club, the Garden Club and at church services. Covid caused a certain lethargy and apathy towards gatherings. My Group Assistant takes a realistic stand: she says many have gained weight while under Lockdown and are too embarrassed to return to group. Which is a pity, as our Weigh-Less groups are all about just that: Weigh-Less!

Ironically, since April 2020, after I registered my first online member from Australia, with Weigh-Less, I have built up a large Virtual group of members: topping 160 who weigh in online every week.

Meanwhile, I am promoting the special offer for next week's meeting with this poster below. 


Harold is successful young businessman in town, a community leader and an avid sportsman. Now he has a success story to share with other hopefuls! 

In future, I look forward to coaching larger groups of members which, hopefully, this promotion will deliver. 

HAPPY THURSDAY
