    Michaels...types reply and it disappeared...

    Short version....

    Yes..( for now).... No ( longterm).

    No more hours with our possible when the work is there and I'm here. ;) . Some if the time off was spent talking about his future plans, which are fluid and evolving, but ARE pretty self realised in the main. :).


    (Oops, got my yes and no, wrong way round, lol)

    As for transgressing time together its my client who was invading our Saturday's last year...ok, pin the end she went, but it was a tough decision. And its me who has taken a booking that cancelled the weekends we earmarked for weekend away....... ;). I would actually suggest DH go to NYC that weekend, buit its my b'day and I know he won't go.

    He did an interview for R5L recorded on the phone of Richard Bacon on Monday. Bacon had just popped into the hospital to visit him, but he wanted to one last interview.

    I was welling up on the M25.....had to turn the sound down.

    A brave, brave and yes a marvellous and inspirational man

    I remember you posting about Steve last year LJ, sounds like an all round decent chap.

    LJ, my new years resolution was to walk a minimum of10,000 steps every day, which was going well till I twisted my knee yesterday, should be fine by tomorrow/weekend. That's about an hours walk + usual amblings.

    Gen, years ago I had anxiety attacks, what really worked for me were simple breathing exercises along the lines of inhale for 8, hold for 8, exhale for 10. It just calmed everything down. i'm going to say take it easy, even though it doesn't look like an option.

    Do you think he will go for it lir?

    Hope the leg gets better soon bugs!
    I used to walk 18000 steps a day when I had a pedometer. I don't do anywhere near that now though.:o

    I walked more before we moved because the horses were down a hill and a road from the house, Here they are close and so the dogs and I can just potter out there and we just plod about the summer field here in the Not healthy at all.

    One of only two successful diets I have been on was the fast 5 diet

    http://www.fast-5.org/

    there is a free downloadable book. Basically restrict your eating to within a 5 hour timeframe, mine was 15 .00 - 20.00, with a bit of flex when I ate out. It worked really well as once I start eating, I carry on. If I don't start, I don't particularly feel hungry.

    When I tried that I put weight on.

    The people who invented the diet didn't reckon on the sheer amount of food I can eat in five hours:D

    The ground is so sodden its impossible to walk normally.

    It's pretty much impossible to do anything in the smallholding at the moment. Every step you take the grass cuts up and it's almost like you're walking on quickmud.

    We have a biggish farmyard, and a second yard. They are SO valuable. :rotfl:


    That said, noone wants to sweep in the rain. :o. I do one concreted square a morning which is pretty pants tbh. But that's how long it takes them to eat.
