Happy Old Year!
Hi y'all, happy old/new year. Not much excitement there given all it seems to be is still gloom in the news. However, some interesting things have happened:
- The weather here has not been above 0°c since New Years Eve.
- I am shamefully addicted to the trainwreck of a website called GOOP which is hosted by none other than Gweneth Paltrow.
- I have joined a gym (yes, a gym) and am now going 3-4 times a week. Along with my non-drinking regime, and that OH and I have cut out red meat from our diet for now, along with some white meat (fish is still on the menu) I'm expecting the weight to melt away. It still hasn't shifted.
- My gym is full of really f***ing hot pieces. And it has a steam room, and a sauna. My last memories of a steam room & a sauna date back to 2005, pre-OH, and lots of naughtiness. That was also the time where in my haste to get away from a very keen sailor I opened the wrong door and found myself in an alleyway surrounded by bins and me wearing just a towel around my waist. In winter. And the door had shut tight on me with no way to get back in apart from going round the building again and through the entrance.
- I baked a loaf of bread from scratch. It was pretty easy but I panicked with the yeast when it smelt like horrid old gym kit but I looked it up online and it said that it was normal. I need to get a bread tin because I just flopped the dough onto a baking sheet to rise, and it rose upwards as well as outwards, and I ended up with something resembling a section dead coral reef. I think the hastily added sesame and sunflower seeds at the end contributed to the dead barnacle look.
- I'm not making any resolutions out aloud. I will go about them and if I succeed I can be smug, but if I fail, then at least no one will know that I attempted it.
Yes, Happy New Year to you all...
