Went into town to buy some veggies and then back home for a smoothie before heading off to the gym and my session with Joe...he is one of the nicest men I know he works me hard but also compliments me on the progress I have made.....
Home in time to watch this soccer game...
Manchester City came from behind twice to secure a crucial two-goal advantage after a classic Champions League last-16 tie against Monaco at Etihad Stadium.
On a night of fluctuating fortunes and thrilling football, Pep Guardiola's side were on the precipice in this tournament before dragging themselves back to ensure they go into the return in Monaco with a priceless lead.
Raheem Sterling gave Manchester City a 26th-minute advantage after fine work by Leroy Sane but Monaco proved their threat to lead before half-time through Radamel Falcao's header and Kylian Mbappe's powerful rising drive.
Falcao then saw a penalty saved by Willy Caballero just after the break before Monaco keeper Danijel Subasic's blunder gave Sergio Aguero his first goal.
Colombian Falcao, back to his best after failed loan spells at Manchester United and Chelsea, then lifted a brilliant chip over Caballero to put Monaco back in front - but this was the signal for City to launch an enthralling attacking salvo.
Aguero - who felt he was denied a first-half penalty after he tumbled under a challenge from Subasic - volleyed in another equaliser before John Stones made amends for poor defending in the build-up to Falcao's second by putting City ahead on the night with a sliding finish at the far post after 77 minutes.
Man of the match Sane handed City that two-goal cushion with a simple tap-in from Aguero's pass eight minutes from time - but Monaco's vibrant attacking ambition means this tie is far from over.
I have watched hundreds of games in my life both on TV and live at the stadiums but this game rates as one of the best I have ever seen..it was riveting from start to finish.
Afterwards I took Little Bluey to the Spa for a full body treatment and she is gleaming at a cost of 60 yes 60 pesos!!!!

Men’s jeans worth over US $8 billion
Uncertainty over NAFTA creates worries in the garment industry
Mexican firms are the second biggest suppliers of denim to the U.S. but industry specialists warn that opening NAFTA for negotiation could mean trouble for the garment industry, says a report by BBC Mundo.
More than 2,000 manufacturers spread throughout Mexico are dedicated to denim and jeans production, notably in the states of México, Durango, Puebla and Guanajuato.
Data kept by the Social Security Institute (IMSS) indicates that more than 125,000 people depend on the industry for their livelihood.
But jobs on the other side of the border could also be affected.
According to the AAFA, the American Apparel & Footwear Association, over 64,000 U.S. workers depend on the Mexico-U.S. denim trade, particularly in the states of North and South Carolina and Georgia.
Consumers would also end up paying should the U.S. impose the tariffs it has threatened to put on products imported from Mexico.
The binational trade of denim products consists mostly in U.S. firms sending the prepared fabric to Mexican textile assembly plants, where the garments are sewn and given finishing touches. Once finished, the final product is shipped back north.
Other firms purchase garments made 100% in Mexico and sell them in the U.S.
In both cases, NAFTA is an essential part of the process as the back and forth movement of products across the border is tariff-free.
The annual trade in one single denim garment — men’s jeans — is worth more than US $8 billion, says the National Chamber of the Apparel Industry (Canaive).
The president of the Tehuacán, Puebla, chapter of the chamber told BBC Mundo that there is a widespread sense of uncertainty — a widely-held sentiment in Mexico, these days — among jeans producers and manufacturers in the country.
“We are waiting for whatever might happen,” said Rufino López Pérez.
On the other hand, there are some who believe it would be complicated to make drastic changes in trade policies, especially because imposing tariffs on a product so popular among U.S. consumers would cause several problems.
Despite the upcoming trade negotiations between Mexico and the United States, expected to start in June, trade carries on.
“More partners from the United States have approached us,” said an industry leader from Puebla.
“Response times in Mexico are faster than in China. That keeps many firms going while NAFTA is negotiated,” added Gustavo Bojalil.
