New Year - and diet and excercise loom large on the horizon, but now that I no longer have my dog, Lucy, walking has lost its appeal, although I still do it when I can. However, Keith has a lovely exercise bike upstairs ... or at least. he did have, until he took it off to the shop so that he can use it at odd times during the day.
So I bought a stepper. It's small, doesn't take up much room and could be quite useful in melting away the calories.
Wrong! That too has been commandeered by Keith. If he sits on his computer chair he can use the stepper to exercise and strengthen the muscles of the ankle which was broken 10 months ago and still isn't right.
So I don't really mind giving it up for a good cause. And anyone who thinks that it also gives me a good excuse not to use it is definitely barking up the wrong tree!
So on to the diet - lettuce and water for dinner tonight, Keith!
Now I've just got to persuade him not to keep crowing about the thousands of steps he's done on the damned thing...
Plaster board and dust
So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...

This is Keith in the car park of Moel Famau country park this morning. We decided that, as Christmas day this year was going to be a q...

When all this first happened, last week, I was sure that I would not want or be able to mention it at all on this blog. Now, however. I feel...

Mind he doesn't abscond with the lettuce as well, Jenny.

Sounds like you've got the right idea giving up on the exercise, after all at your age 'you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear'...
I understand that they play a lot of rugger in Wales. Perhaps you could join the local rugger club and teach those taffies a thing or two about where and how to place the oval ball. Right up Mr Anonymous's jacksie would be a good idea!
no wonder nobody answers the phone at the welsh tourist board office, they're too busy writing comments on this blog.
Priceless comments! LOL
Somehow Jenny I think if you were to buy something like a new hoover Keith wouldn't be so fast to nick it...but you could try pointing out to him the exercise benefits of running it back and forth across the carpet...and the bicep building arm motions etc. No? Darn...didn't think so, it was worth a good try though.
As delicate a question as it is, have you thought about another dog...or is there perhaps an elderly neighbour who can't walk their own dog as much as they would like to, who would appreciate the help? I know when we were kids growing up we used to walk all the neighbourhood dogs, because my nan wouldn't let us have one of our own.
Oops...long winded ...sorry!
Well, Sue, Keith reply to your hoover suggestion was that it would depend what he was using it for...no, don't go there! :)About a dog, maybe when Iam not out so much. Don't think there is anyone round here with a dog that needs walking though.
Dale, I don't think there is the remotest chance that he'll pinch the lettuce!
YP, such a thought could inspire even me to take up rugby. ;)
Arthur, do you spend a lot of time trying to get through to the Welsh tourist board?
I think that everyone is at least thinking about diets and exercise at present. I know that I am!
We should form a support group, Flighty! :)
My goodness, i was using the step machine at the gym, i swear out of everything..running....weights....machines...areobics, that darn step machine nearly killed me! My poor arse, i was crippled by it. It took me half an hour just to get out of the chair! You should be glad to be rid of it!
Lettuce IS water JT!
I do find it's a bit jarring, Michelle.
George, yes, but it's green water with vitamin C!
Jenny, RE:Anonymous - why don't you block him? He really does spoil my enjoyment of your blog!

anonymous - you are an utter wanker who needs to get a life - and some social skills!
PS Love the bit about "small mind, small prick" Iatros..... - probably very true in his case!
To everyone else who reads this blog - I am sorry if my language has offended you. However, some things just have to be said!!!!
Thank you, anonymous2. (This is getting a bit complicated - the anonymouses are multiplying! Or should that be anonymice?)
Very well said Anon2.
Jenny: Lol @ anonymice :o)
