Snow Go... Now!

January 20, 2010 3:36 PM

Woke up this morning, got out of bed, peeked out of the window. Snow? No. Thank goodness. Went for a pee. Peeked out of the window, thwump... the clouds just did the dirty on us and deposited a healthy smattering of snow all over the place. Great. And its not easing up in the slightest.

Ordinarily I wouldn't mind, but today I've offered to help out my neighbour delivering sandwiches to local businesses as she's got personal stuff to get done which is important and she's short staffed and I volunteered. Meh. And now it's snowing. The thrill of standing out in the snow pimping bread and meat isn't enthralling me in the slightest, but you know I said I'd do it, so I'll just get on with it. If anything it'll give me something to complain about later.

And it did. It was cold and wet (yes wet because the snow was wet, not fluffy like you'd see on an idyllic Christmas card) and the punters weren't all that interested. Also, interestingly and not surprisingly the smell of hot bacon rolls does little when one is trying to be virtuous and sticking to not gorging out when the mood takes.

Wet and sodden I came home, had some lunch and thought better of going to the gym since I thought it'd be nice for my knee to recover a bit more, after all I have just got in and out of a car 20 times which as you can imagine doesn't do wonders for a dodgy right leg with no cartilage on the outside of it (don't forget, I'm british, we drive on the right!). Besides, I'm going to the gym later on today for my SMINDE meeting, I don't want to appear to be over-enthusiastic.

Talking of which, the meeting itself was hmm, well I'm going to reserve judgement for now. I will produce a full summary at the end of the 12 week course. Plus points however is the challenge of a weekly weigh in. Negatives, I was easily the fattest person there with I would guess a good 6 stone on each and every other participant. That in itself is demoralizing.

Anyway, onwards and upwards (or preferably downwards if you relate this to weight).
