With both Dusan and I off for the day and with the sunshine suddenly out and at a glorious 26 degrees (80 Degrees F), we decided to make the most of the day and head out to the park and get some sun.
Dusan had to go to the Dentist first thing and the two of us heaed out to the DLR and down to Cutty Sark and then through the town centre and up to the Royal Park.
We found a little spot in the shade where we could both read for a while and check out the local talent in the park. Dusan had never been to the Royal Observatory so we made a walk up the hill stopping mid way to take some pictures of the Naval College and Canary Wharf behind it in the sunshine.
Once at the top we stoped and looked at the Clock which sets all time and took a walk around the full royal obsorbatory and saw the original telescopes and the room built by sir Christopher Wren. Once outside and in the courtyard we found the Meridian Line. The actual point that represents 0 Degree's, 0, 00" Longitude. Did you know that Longitude is measured by distance in time from Greenwich and the actual Meridian Line? Having researched since we live at; Latitude = 51.4741, Longitude = -0.0217 or rather: Long = 0 degrees, 1.3 minutes West. Even I learn something new every day.
Of course it was obligatory that we took pictures with our legs astride the Meridian. Dusan immediately called me a slapper saying I had my legs in two deifferent time zones at the same time, then asked me to take his picture doing exactly the same thing! It was a fun day out and best of all, cost nothing but the £2 DLR fare.
Once home we both spent 90 minutes at the gym before a healthy dinner. I have finally begun my food diary and want it to be a good representation of a nice healthy diet. Still aiming to be a stone lighter before Pride season in just under 4 weeks.
