Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I missed the cycling today what with pottering and talking on the phone, and Mr WD was watching one of the hobbit films as well.

A few minor DIY jobs today, nothing dramatic.

Good morning all. Dark here but a dry morning is forecast.
Still lots of 'bitty' stuff to do.......it piled up over the last 3 months as my brain wouldn't/couldn't face it.
Must do an Aldi dash at 0800.
Then I have to pay the final fee for the aunties flat....they insist on cash.
FOOD
I feel a bacon butty coming on.
Lunch will be the last of the curry with nan bread.

Good day! and I think it could well be. I've had two, possibly three*, good sleeps in a row and feel positively chipper. Today I'm meeting the other two musketeers as we continue on our never ending search for the perfect cafe serving the perfect flat white........good Portuguese tarts gains bonus points. 😋
This afternoon I have an appointment with my PT - there are aspects of my fitness, diet, weight, body shape and motivation which I'm unhappy about. I know these are all closely linked. I've known her for 7-8 years as a friend, know her knowledge and trust I'm going to get on the right track.
*three - worry is I can't recall if it's two or three 😥

I need her too! I'm currently the heaviest I've been for several years and really struggling to find the discipline to get seriously stuck in and do something about it. Just watching calories doesn't work for me and the only thing I've tried in the past that worked for me was intermittent fasting, but when you enjoy your grub it's bloody hard.
Just the riverside trail walk this morning. It was quite pleasant out with just a few little spits and spots of rain that never amounted to much.
Tennis finished and a rest day for the cycling so no excuse not to get back out this afternoon for a while.
Happy Birthday to Mrs D

Morning all , feeling rather pain free for a Monday morning , you can tell I didn’t sail yesterday 😂.
But I do feel vaguely guilty for not sailing as it’s the only regular exercise I am doing at the moment. ( I’ve still got my head firmly stuck in the sand over not cycling and my weight ☹️)
God knows how I am going to feel in a couple of weeks as I have been ‘ persuaded’ to sail mrs exlaser spare boat in their national championship.
I am used to sailing one race then toddling off home and not doing another race for at least 3 days, not doing 7 races in 3 days . 😀
Oh well at least we are not camping this year as it’s a Hollowell, which is only 20 mins away from Coventry down the A14.
Looks like a better day today so have a good one everyone.

Unusually I'm up am posting earlyish (for me)
not much on today - I've had a rash thingy on bike back for a few weeks and the pharmacist gave me some anti-histamines that help - but make be tired all day
seeing Doc (an actual face-to-face!!) tomorrow about it
but today I am finally going to the dentist about a tooth pain - that has magically started to get better since I booked the appointment
still a swolen painful bit above the tooth and another one feel wrong - probably broken filling
annoying thing is that it is at 2:40
dental appointments really should be at tooth-hurty
(2:30 - tooth-hurty ??
I have lots more)
