Happy (?) Monday gents. De-Christmassed the house over the weekend, indoors and out. Lights, tree, assorted bits and bobs all put away for another year. The house seems empty now though.
Temperate here has dropped a bit, down to -8C with -14C windchill (that's 7F for you southern gentlemen). Not as cold as some of you, but still enough for the brass monkey to lose bits.
DW's birthday today. Some of you may remember that I used to work overseas a month at a time. DW and I have been together for 14 years and in that time this is the FIRST time I have actually been home for her birthday, mainly on account of always trying to arrange Christmas off, but then having to get back to work right after the new year. Having said that, we're not doing anything terribly special. It's the girls' first day back at school after the break and things just kind of get too busy for anything much. Plus, Christmas bills still to come in so...
Well done. I'm trying to cut back a little but still picking my way through the leftover Christmas chocolates.
Once I cut those out, I starve.
Well, actually I am not much of a beer fan so I rarely drink it. But pasta...that would be very hard for me to go without. But I can easily imagine how effective it would be. I crave carbs, and I know that's what packs on the weight.
Yep, agree with it all. I tend to paint that generation with a broad brush too, even if perhaps I shouldn't. Though I don't judge too harshly. He's only 18 or whatever and was clearly upset. But I suspect he's learned his lesson.
I did a bit of cross country when I was 17. I don't think I could manage it now. Actually, I know I couldn't do it now.
