Watching movies like The Lord of the Rings, where the characters have to walk hundreds of miles, makes me happy to be alive in the 21st century. I wouldn’t want to be doing all that trudging around to get where I wanted to go; thank the stars for the diesel engine. It pains me to think of all those miles I might otherwise have to walk… and my son and grandchildren live up the most enormous hill!
No, the diet has not arrived on my doorstep yet. Tonight there have been Magnum ice-lollies, and the shop had packs of sausage rolls for 10p so I had to buy them, didn’t I? I mean there are about ten in each pack. But, it’s coming soon – I know it. I pressed a finger into my shin yesterday and almost lost it! I’ve got grannies’ legs.
So, I should be back here next week to report that I’ve begun, or that I’ve fell through the floorboards or someone’s stairs or just died in my sleep (in that case I’ll get my son to make the report). Don’t hold your breath, will you?

You do know diets don’t work right? I noticed from looking at some of your other posts that diets and fat seem to be a big part of your blogging. Try to take a look at some of these sites:

I don’t know if you are fat or normal size or whatever but I do think it is a shame that so many people spend so much time on trying to achive an impossible body. I hope you will take some time to look around the web on size acceptance, self acceptance, fat acceptance, haes (health at every size), etc.
Cheers

Hi Katherine, thanks for popping in and taking the time to comment
I know that diets don’t work, but I need to get off my enormous butt and change my eating and exercise habits; I’m a 55 year old woman and if I don’t do it soon I’ll be out there looking for tools to help me wipe that butt! 
So don’t worry – this is not about looks or size acceptance. And thanks for the links. x
