Sweat and Tears
A weird and slightly wonderful start to the day around the estate. On hearing that the first meteor shower of the year was about to take place, I popped on the slippers and coat and wandered out into the near darkness. Surprising the mangey foxes from their sleep, I stood watching the skies. Saw the plough, a few clouds and a brief sparky shooting star which flew for about an inch of sky then disappeared. Not that spectacular at all really, so wandered back inside. I assume it was a bit like that old Kit Kat ad when the guy in the zoo was always looking in the wrong place and missed the dancing panda-there were loads of great things to see but I was always looking at the wrong piece of sky. Anyway, this was followed a few minutes later by a pink/orange hue filling the kitchen as the sun came up (shepherd's warning? Does that work?) and stopped me feeling guilty that I had wimped out of waiting for more sky magic Thanks for all the welcome back posts-it was great to be on the radio again. Sally, Matt and PTP all sounded good to me and we are all hoping for a great year on DT (and the head-girl Rebecca of course).
The gym kit is replaced! Everything is new and professional looking! I look the part! If you squint, I could be a London 2012 wannabe. I'm sure my smelly shirt etc are scattered somewhere across someone's hedge and I can only apologise for an aromatically challenged new year. The sports shop was rammed with folk trying to get fit and getting some smart jogging gear in the sales. And they were all at least 2 decades younger than me. Maybe 3. And in the shop assistant's case, 4. It was horrendous. If there is a sports shop for the middle aged, I'll happily visit regularly. One intriguing note from my new socks- the sports variety. They are actually labelled 'Left" and 'Right'. Now I really do feel stupid.
But let's do THE GYM, GETTING FIT/UNFIT AND FEELING HEALTHY/FLABBY oldies if you fancy giving us a drivetime workout. Tracksuits optional.
Have a wild and wonderful Wednesday, see you after 5.

Katy again, thank you for the explanation on your kitchen. I love the sound of it.
Zoe, how are you feeling this morning?x
Harry, meant to say earlier - was thinking of you on your journey home last night. It must have been rotten. Glad to know you are back here this morning safe.

#69 GWFIFY... that looks like a wig Sal is wearing and if it isn't, her hairdresser should be shot! Maybe she'd washed her hair and couldn't do a thing with it, so covered it up... or maybe it is a hat that looks like a wig!!!
