Hmmmm all this talk of putting on weight and weight loss... I just went to weigh myself and found that I am 6lb's heavier then I was 3 weeks ago, the amount of time I have been off the bike...

Shocking how quickly those lbs go on when you're not cycling isn't it?

Arch - when you return home from work, you might like to read the thread called "Painful Conclusion". The reason for this is that I think your knitting skills are required. I am not quite sure how you will take the measurements for the required garment. ;)

Oh, ok, I'll have a look.

For complex reasons, I'm trying to learn to use chopsticks with my right hand. I've been practising with tonight's stirfry, and I'm getting there, ish.

But it's terribly complicated, because I usually eat with the left hand, and use the mouse for the laptop in my right. So not only do I have to master the chopsticks, I have to learn to mouse with the left hand, including clicking the left button with my second finger.

It's really quite hard!

Oh, and I'd like to lose a stone, and get into size twelve trousers.

I hope you like luke warm food, while you are practising. ;)

So are you left or right handed?

Chopsticks isn't too difficult to do but takes time to train your fingers to do what they need to do without thinking about it.
See how you get on and I'll check or show you next time we meet, if you are still at it.

I often use the mouse with either hand without hesitation. The only difficulty is my track ball mouse as it is very right handed in design and I can't find a left handed one.
I got into left handed mice because I was writing and using the mouse at the same time.

Mostly left handed - for writing certainly, but for other stuff I can be ambidextrous - for example, I knit, or play Ukelele as a right handed person would.

I can just about write with the right hand, if I do it very slowly, and don't mind it looking like the writing of a 5 year old.

I can see that it's a muscle memory thing - like touch typing. By the end of my meal, I was picking up chunks of chicken ok.

The left handed mousing was almost more tricky - partly moving the mouse about and partly remembering to click the 'outer' button, not the inner. I think if you need to you can switch the button functions over, but then I'd need to switch them back again.

Everywhere we recycled to day, people came running out saying "oh, we didn't think you would come today". We're all so glad we bothered to leaflet them with the Christmas schedule.... :angry: We always work Bank Holidays, have always done so.

One chap got a bit of a correction off me. He came out and asked "are you collecting everything today?" so I said yes, we always collect everything (I think in some places it's glass one week, paper the next etc, but not with us, and not anywhere in York). He said "Oh, ok, only I didn't know you were coming today" (Sigh) and went back in to get his recycling.

There was a mountain of it. Loads of cardboard (expected after Xmas) but also loads of all the other stuff. When we said "Wow, that's a lot", he said "well, there's been a few missed weeks, what with the weather...."

We haven't missed a single week apart from last week, our Xmas holiday. What he meant was he either assumed we weren't coming, or just kept forgetting to put it out. So I made sure he knew we hadn't missed a week. Bloody cheek.

Anyway, we got it all done, and had time for two of us to sweep the yard, which it needed, now that the snow and ice has all gone.

And then we went for a pint after work....:cheers:

Just had my supper- cheese and crackers (no chopsticks) that will be my last 'snack' for the foreseeable future.
