Nothing to report weight wise now need the weekend to provide a whoosh to stay on course to achieve my 4lb
, but I'll report an uplifting story anyway 
A week past Tuesday, I realised after Pilates that I had lost an earring that had great sentimental value: it had been the last thing my mum had got for me (or rather, arranged for a friend of her's to get for me) for Christmas. We'd both been in tears after our visits that day as it was one of her "compos mentis" days (she had fronto-temporal dementia brought by a head injury from a cycling accident). It was always harder to see her when she was "better".
I cycled home carefully, searching, hoping that it would be at home. It wasn't
. Cycled back over my route, slowly, still nothing. Retraced my steps over the previous couple of days and got a freind to check her car and my dad to check his house. Nothing 
Checked with the pub where we have post-Pilates coffee on Tuesday. Nothing
Was at the point of emailing the shop where Mum's friend had bought it, as a long shot, with a picture of the remaining earring, to ask if, even after 8 years, could they identify who the maker was, so that I could contact them to make a new one. (It was a gold and silver modern hand made design).
Yesterday, I was emptying out the dishwasher. There, at the bottom of the dishwasher, it was 


. It must have been through multiple cycles, so is now very clean and well sterilised 
So relieved!
