After all yesterday’s travelling these old bones needed a day of lazing about. Last night after connecting up the internet so we could have some entertainment we ate and then lay down in a warmish bed.
I woke in the morning just before 8 and I already had a sweat on. I decided that if I wanted to do yoga I needed to rise earlier while it was cooler and then do my exercises. Today that was too late. we you arrive at your house and haven’t seen it for at least 6 weeks then there are bound to be jobs to do. We set about cleaning the patio and the bench under the tree. I walked to the nearest Boulanger in the village to pick up a loaf of bread and returned perspiring.
I weighed myself this morning and I’m still at 171 lbs which is far too high. I am determined to bring that figure down to around 164. That will require a fair bit of discipline. I think the principle culprit is bread so I’m going to avoid any bread, croissants or anything similar and see what difference that makes. I’ll report back to the diary in due course.
We have spent a fortune on the swimming pool and now, at last, we are reaping the benefit. Maggi and I have had two swims today. It is really refreshing to have a dip in the middle of the day or when you have worked on some small job and the sweat is pouring down your cheeks. I don’t think however a cost benefit analysis consultant would approve.
