Annie, I'm slim enough to wear a bikini but I wouldn't wear an itsy bitsy one..not at this age,and also I find sometimes a bikini top comes loose when swimming back stroke....everyone to their own choice of course but not for me anymore . I wear an all in one for in the pool , and if I'm just sunbathing I wear a bikini or tankini top..and short shorts..:D

I never sunbathe. My bikini top is an underwire, and the bottoms aren't teeny but are bikini bottoms. I wouldn't wear a bikini anywhere but Thailand where nobody cares. I've seen some very large women wearing them there, so since I find it more comfortable having a bare middle, I'll stick with the bikini.
 
Just getting going - its a balmy sunny 13 C today and doors and windows open to let in the springy breezes. Planning a little outing to do some light shopping and visit a friend later on.

Hope everyone's having a good day. Holly you sound up, and hope your back's getting good. Nice pics AS.

Speaking of swimsuits, I have a 'tankini' - tank top and bikini bottoms. Very comfy. Can't wait for summer now and a bit of lounging by the pool. Some of the 'older girls' in my building who are in much better shape than me can be pretty daring, but not me.

Nice pictures Annie..

It's glorious here, very blue skies and warm although the wind is getting up a little bit now.

Jujube..blimey...that was a very expensive 20 minutes.

Jackie , how lovely that you're going to Florida are you going to be anywhere close to any of our Floridian members here..? there are some really lovely tummy control swimmies in the shops and online if you feel that you might be feeling a little subconscious about a little extra around your middle..

Jackie thanks for your good wishes workwise for me, I have already returned to work, I went back last Wednesday.. :D

Thanks, holly, the M&S swimsuits are fabulous! I missed seeing them earlier on. I wish we still had a M&S here, but they closed up in the mid 90s, sadly.

I'm not that great a swimmer, so the tankini is enough for me, and not too revealing, LOL. Gonna have to do some serious work on my abs if I ever want to get back into a 2-piece, tho. Jackie, that suit looks very nice too.
 
I like M & S and Debenhams swimsuits. I've got a bikini, a tankini, and two one piece suits. I posed in the bikini at the pool in Thailand and DH took my pic, but I'm not sharing it. I will share the one where I'm floating in the pool as it's much more flattering and I can pretend I have a tiny belly. ;)

Jackie - The bathing suit photo you posted is very cute and I may look for one similar to it. I don't go out in sunlight for very long (doctor's orders) as I've already had skin cancer removed about 20 years ago. So I tend to be either under an umbrella or covered up a lot.

My daughter Anne recently turned 50 and she has retired all her 2-piece swimsuits and will now only wear one-piece - she looks great for her age plus being a cancer survivor but she has her own stringent set of rules that she follows to the letter. I kind of like the sarong-type coverup but haven't found one that I'm totally enamored with. My 3 granddaughters all look very cute in anything. Here are 2 of the girls.

Well, hot dang, if I looked like that in a bikini, I'd sport one too. for now, I'll stick with a tankini and a sometimes even a sarong/pareo.
 
Thanks for liking the granddaughters - Cara is the gal on the left (my son's younger daughter) and Kamilla is on the right (daughter's child). Kamilla was adopted from Russia in 2002 because my daughter and son-in-law couldn't have kids. They also have 2 adopted sons from Russia, Luke and Zachary. My son's oldest daughter, Lauren, is preparing to enter university this Fall in Massachusetts. All these kids are now in their teens but I could have sworn they were just little ones about two blinks ago!

Jujube, next time let me plan your party, I guarantee you will have so much fun you will blackmail us into silence! Bad girls, party!

Not MY party, thank goodness. A picture was posted today on Facebook showing the birthday "girl" laying face down on the floor passed out. Glad I didn't stay for that part of the festivities. I'll have to admit I did my share of getting knee-walking drunk in college, but can't handle it these days.
 
Jeez, Annie, you look great in that bikini. I have two black-and-white swimsuits (I get them made at Omar the Tentmaker but since he's started charging by the yard, I may have to find another source), but every time I go to the beach, someone calls SeaWorld and reports that Shamu must have got out. I saw some "burkinis" in Turkey.....I'm beginning to think that might be the way to go.
 
I'll wear a swimsuit again when there's one that covers from the ankles to the neck.

It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night, but I'm still really tired. Guess my age is creeping up on me.

Have a good day, y'all, and I'll be back after work this afternoon (if I don't fall asleep on my client's bed!).

LOL :rofl1: That's very nice, Annie ..... looks like the workouts are paying off!

Thanks, Cookie. This was taken at the beginning of our trip in early December. During the 9 week trip I gained 14 pounds. :playful: And had about 6 or 8 pounds more than I wanted when we arrived there. I will NOT gain more than 5 pounds on our next trip there which will be even longer - 3 months.

Thanks! It's not as flattering in the full on photo. Nobody gets to see that one.
