Pedometers and Lard

STOP PRESS: Look at front page of the Burntwood Post tonight (Thursday) There is appparently a piece on my 'near-transplant' in the Mercury too, but we never get ours delivered until Sunday....

Bloggerdears,
How art thee this fine morrow?

The sun has got his hat on...which means Cannock people go shopping half naked...(This is very scary 95 per cent of the time!)

I think I sat next to the uglies family in the world today and they were wearing far too little for those that large...lard melts in the sun!!!

Time for your update on the neither weird or wacky world of me and mine. Brace yourself for a large dose of diary-ness! (J + 16)

I had my 'usual' Sunday....with drinkies at the PG with the 'usual suspects'...G.S was back from Ireland and I got a t-shirt and lucky blarney stone...I wish everyone who went on holiday was as generous!

I was still recovering from a long and drawn out dream the night before when a group of us had to get Victoria Beckham from Holland to England without her noticing.

The more we drank (in the dream) the less of us knew which one of us was Victoria Backham....very confusing. The press photographers were there at the port and they didn't seem to know which one she was either..... How bizarre...

In the afternoon E and D came. Is is almost a year since I was their best man. I thought a year's anniversary was 'paper' but it is in fact 'cotton', Everyday is a learning curve/winding road/like Sunday/a miseducation (delete at will.)

I have purchased a pedometer...which is NOT a device for measuring kiddy fiddlers but a device to calculate how far you walk each day and calories used up...

I got it from Booksale in Lichfield (where else? lol) in a light-headed moment after a visit to Holland & Barrett...aww bless. It was a double whammy because Gilesport girl was woking today too....my cup runeth-over! lol

I suppose it (the pedometre and not Gilesport girl) works on 'jolts' as it works when clipped on my shorts but not in my pocket...

I have done 1.48 km today so far 1742 steps and 52.2 kcal....I suppose that's less than half a Mars bar...good job I don't want to lose weight...

No sightings of live or dead mice since we bought the exterminator stuff....

Cannock Wood and Gentleshaw people....I could always do with more news fore the round-up I do in the Mercury each week....get those thinking caps on!

I went to the PC room to do a little more to my website and I came out brain-dead...Computers fry brains....don't use them...stay away!
