Mental and physical test

I think I have found a new test for the MOD. Putting on duvet covers. Sometimes it’s seriously difficult, taxing on the brain and on the arms.

Babybel

My goddaughter (nearly 4) reminded me of the joy that is mini babybel cheeses in their little red ‘jackets’. Mmmmm. I discovered that if you buy the ‘light’ ones and scoff half a bag like crisps, it really doesn’t feel like eating half a block of cheese at all.

(I dare you not to be tempted to buy a pack now)

Gin funny

I knew when my brother got a job working for a company that sells gin that I would reap the benefits. What I didn’t foresee was my taking to carrying miniatures around in my back pockets (classy). When I drink gin my friends refer to me in the third person, “We like gin Kirsty, she’s fun”. Possibly more worrying than taking to carrying miniatures round in your back pockets.

Young at heart

I went running with my best mate at the weekend. Afterwards we met up with her hubby and their two kids. My legs were so tired that it was suggested I jump in the buggy. An offer too good to refuse. In the words of Miranda’s mother, “such fun.”

3 reasons why I should not have worn the maxi dress this morning.

1. Trip hazard
2. Pregnant women in similar garb started smiling at me.
3. An orange jumpsuit would have been better, since the cancellation of my train resulted in me challenging a colleague to a race to work. I knew he beat me within in first ten minutes I spent waiting for a bus…I’m sure annike rice had a chopper at her disposal?

Disposition

My disposition is definitely better in the sun.

Inbox

Casually looking at my neighbouring commuters’ inbox, I was relieved to see I am not the only one with an inbox full of newsletters, meal deals and money saving tips. This week the only email I have received from someone I know was one I sent to  a friend, but actually sent to myself in error.

 

Coincidence

My life is full of coincidences. I’m always bumping into people in random places. This week the coincidences have not been related to people. Strangely my jeans have got really tight (no, not just washed), AND the scale at the gym seems to be broken. Its displaying more than it should. Weird. Obviously just coincidence and nothing to do with last weeks beer and peanut consumption.

 

Sofa sleeping

There is no more satisfying a sleep than that of the I-was-watching-tv-before-I-started-drooling-on-my-couch sleep.

Pedometer fixes

My young, skinny friend was telling me how hard it is to break the daily 10 000 step rate on a pedometer, even if you have quite a busy lifestyle. We got to wonder how larger, less active pedometer wearers were managing to hit their targets. I could only think of one scenario.
