OK, so I did my usual walk this morning and have done the 30 minutes ironing. 41 days to go!

I have just clocked up my first 15 minutes with a lunchtime walk. Due to my anxiety, I rarely walk anywhere myself without freaking out. My first lap around the block at work was a bit wobbly, the second lap was a lap of honour lol I have to pass my doctor's surgery on the route, but fortunately I didn't need to pop in for a valium or a defribrillator. Go me! Back at my desk now having a lovely lunch :)

I walked up to the Cathedral from the cricket ground after last year's Miners' Gala. I can vouch it is very hilly. And I had to cross water over a bridge which is even worse than hills in my book.

Was planning some mowing this evening, but it looks like there is a big storm a brewin' :wideyed:

Settled on 20 minutes of nightie dancing instead (plus the 15 minute walk earlier). Easy peasy, just close the curtains, put earphones in, pop your iPod in your bra and you're off!

Hats off to @Mrs Vimes I have heard that "the shred" is murder :eek:

That sounds wonderful :) My daughter used to sing in a great choir, but she gave it up when she became a teenager.....too many unhealthy distractions.

(I read it that both you and ethyl had been today, but I now see that she went a while ago. Must polish my glasses.)

We have just had the most amazing thunder storm I have ever seen . It's calming down but has lasted over 2 hours.
