When Him Indoors says, it's ok, the wind is not that bad, it is best not to trust him and check myself before leaving it too late to walk to work instead of cycle. Just under 2 weeks of not doing very much and a week of letting my dad feed me are enough to reach new levels of unfitness and to make my body that bit heavier to shift. A short break is enough to forget to dress for what I think the weather might be in the evening as well as how it is when I step out of the door. Jeans are not a good option in the rain. Cheap fleecy jumpers are not a good option if you want waterproof. Glasses + rain is only marginally better than no glasses at all. Reminded of why I started wearing lenses. Getting wet on the way home gives the perfect excuse to take The Boy swimming. Taking The Boy swimming means I have realised I don't need to bother with one of my new year resolutions. The one about me learning front crawl (carried over from last year and the year before). His swimming is good but I can still outswim him vith breaststroke so I think I'll leave it for another year. Going along with enabling Alison to fulfil her new year resolution of turning me into a happy go lucky person is actually quite entertaining. She has admitted that at times she can see how pained I am at being denied sarcasm and how much of an effort I have had to make to hold back. She really likes it but I am sure she will beg for my usual self back in a couple of weeks when she can't take nice me anymore. I had a tought about resoltions. Now that I have started helping with hers maybe I could have a go at getting mine done. Then again if I did that I'd have to think of new resolutions next year - a lot like hard work. So this year will stick to Learning to swim front crawl (or not since I can still outswim The Boy), reduce tea drinking to less than 12 mugs a day (yeah right in another dimension maybe), fill in THE application form (why do today something you can think about doing for years until you find you are too old), get fitter (the endorphins would help with the happy go lucky thing I suppose), get up half an hour earlier to do all the things I never seem to want to do in the evening like housework (now this is the most unlikely ever to happen new year resolution - housework and get up earlier than I have to...).
