Icky Weekend

Stuart came and picked me up at ten to nine in the morning. I had flown from Rio via Atlanta, and although I hadn't slept brilliantly on the long haul flight, I passed out on the two and half hour flight from Atlanta. Keeping with tradition I watched a very sad film, My Sister's Keeper, on the flight and burst into tears!!! I think everyone else was asleep by then, well, I was hoping!

There was no rest for the wicked and didn't get much time to rest at home, as I went straight into work! Busy day that flew by although I felt a little icky when I left, but thought it was just because I was tired. But oh no! I was very sick most of the night. I blamed it on lunch at work (but having asked around today I am not so sure!).

The weekend was pretty much a right off as I slept most of Saturday. Mind you at least it was miserable outside as it didn't make me feel so bad! Basically food was certainly not on the mind for the whole weekend and this morning my trousers were decidedly roomier - so some good came of it! Stuart was a very kind husband trying to do everything for me. He even did a fashion show for me in his new ski gear. New, because he managed to leave all his ski clothes at home (actually I think they are in the attic at Glenlair!)

On Sunday there was a street art festival in downtown Houston - Via Colori Houston. It was held in the Sam Houston Park and a number of the roads had been blocked off so they had enough canvas for all the artists to work - yes it was artwork in chalk on the tarmac. They only had that day to do their picture so when we got there, they were are different stages of completeness. Some where really good and one artist was cheating asking passers by colour in a square, like a patchwork quilt.

Sam Houston Park has some of the oldest buildings in Houston, now just heritage buildings. The oldest one we saw was 1823! There was a duck pond with some very frisky ducks and a lots of turtles that also entertained us. Unfortunately, for Stuart, I was still not a bundle of fun and it was too long before we were heading home.

Today I woke up actually wanting a bit of breakfast before work and my meeting at 7am! Back to the trainer tomorrow night so I have to make sure I am back on form.
