Had a chap call on the landline to inform me that I’m entitled to a new driveway. I went along with him up to the stage when he was going to put me through to his supervisor to arrange a visit before hanging up. That’s a new one on me, I’ve had the “ free” Boiler scheme, solar panels and double glazing. Just need a free roof next and I’ll be sorted.

Back from my first visit to the gym since before Christmas. Thankfully, quite quiet. Enjoyed the walk there and back, beautiful sunny and frosty morning, Water of Leith path exceptionally quiet.

New TV cabinet assembled last night, now in position and the New TV now set up with its feet fitted the right way round, all I need to do is get rid of the old TV stand, the old TV, about 11 year old, went to charity, Myton Hospices, the stand might go to the same place.

I signed up to the Postcode lottery two days ago. I will let you know when I win the life changing figure. 
I keep checking the weather forecast so I can plan my next ride but it doesn't look promising for the next few days,

I'm 5'16" and avoid saggy old man skin by remaining pumped.@ColinJ I'm 5'6". When I go to 70.5kg, which is sadly rare, I tend to start getting saggy old man skin especially on my upper arm. Good excuse to stick at 71.5

Funny, I've just cancelled my Postcode Lottery direct debit, 2 wins in 7 years = £20/£840

Ah, so that kind of fits in with my numbers - 6' 1" tall, probably ok at 79 kg, saggy old man skin at 76 kg!@ColinJ I'm 5'6". When I go to 70.5kg, which is sadly rare, I tend to start getting saggy old man skin especially on my upper arm. Good excuse to stick at 71.5
I am not into huge muscles, but I confess to having gone too far down the weedy route! I was surprised at how much loose skin I got on my arms last time I hit target weight so I reckon losing the blubber and beefing up the arms a bit is a good idea. Cycling takes care of my leg muscles. Maybe some pecs to replace the moobs...?
The problem bit is the waist because having a band of muscles in that area is not going to fill in a big flap of loose skin.Signed, A. Donis

-16 C with a 20 mph wind and some snow. At the moment visibility is maybe a tenth of a mile. There will be some shovelling later but there isn't more than a couple of inches now so why bother. Aged arthritic terriers no likee.
Unless Tyler, my LBS dude, calls to say my V brakes are in I will likely go nowhere. I made a little table for my Nordic Track so as to watch a movie while l use it since I am limited pretty much to It and walking for a while. I do have 4 paper books and an ebook plus lots of grub so life is good for now.
I used to be 5' 8 ", but it seems I have lost a 1/2 " over the last 57 years. The combination of excess weight and limited exercise options means short rations for a while. really should weigh 150 lbs, not 156. l feel its better to control this before it gets out of hand.

Ist that a crack or knot on the bottom of that rail, below the base of your thumbnail, on the wall?
