Walking some more

There was a prescription for Keith waiting at the chemist so off I went yesterday morning, braving the gale force winds, uphill all the way, to walk the two and a half (or maybe three) miles to Coed Poeth where the chemist's shop is.
"I walked to Coed Poeth this morning," I said to Keith later.
"You didn't! You're joking!What on earth did you do that for?" was the reply.
Not really what I was looking for. "Thank you for getting my prescription," would have been more the sort of reaction I was seeking.
"Oh yes, thank you for getting my prescription," he said meekly.
(Anyway it must have been at least half a stone's worth of walking - at least.)

Assume you walked back again too so that would be a very impressive 5 miles. Wooohoooo for you.

I walk 2.5 miles every day here in the park AND have been eating very carefully (that doesn't mean making sure the ribs and fried chicken juices don't mess my t-shirts !!) so I was a bit upset that at my weigh-in this morning, I only lost 1.5 lbs.

Maybe I need to stop supersizing my cheesecake portions.

Yes, I did walk back again, Ian but given your experience in the weight loss area, it looks like I'll need to do it a lot more!

My friend Geoff walks 15 miles to my house sometimes. I used to think he was bonkers, but I've now got used to the idea. He always has a laptop in his back pack too, but takes the train home.

I should think he needs the train home after that walk, Ellee! :)

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...
