Pork & Mindy

January 19, 2010 9:59 PM

So, today has been one of those days where I've not managed to muster the enthusiasm to do anything of consequence. Don't know why, but I suspect "winter" has got something to do with it. I hate short days, I hate cold weather, and joy, more snow has been forecast. Great! Bah Humbug.

Some excitement however in the form of a parcel arriving from France which contained the cute little knitted sweater that Phil's mum had made for Rupert from a pattern in my doggie knits knitting book. No sooner was it through the door it was on Rupert (see Photo). Not sure entirely what he made of it, but I think it looks cool, and the aim of it is to keep him warm when he gets his monthly crew cuts (though he's not been cut for 2 months now so he's a probably a bit woolly to be donning a further layer of insulation just at the moment, but is due a cut and blow dry in a week or so. Anyway, a big thank you to Sylvia for making it for him, one day I hope my knitting will be up to par so I can create something as complicated!

Other exciting news in the form of me actually getting to the gym for the second day on the trot, and I signed up to the "Sminde" meetings they run which are suppose to help with weight management. Phil aptly came up with a funnier name being the "pork & mindy meeting" which in truth brought a smile to my face so that's what I'll call it from now on :) The first meeting is tomorrow so we shall see what that brings.

**UPDATE**: second trip to gym without a break probably not a great idea, knee now swollen. Fantastic!
