I need a kick up the bum!

Yes, I let the chucks out at 5.30am....then went back to bed with a cup of tea. Just thinking about walking to the shops to get something for 'pudding' tonight as we're invited out to DD's and I promised to bring dessert...or shall I drive?

Drive

I have no option but to walk to the shops today, we are right out of bread and short on milk, although we have some long life. I am waiting for the enthusiasm for a walk to the shops to kick in. Think it might take a while, but we will not starve.

The two big efforts these days for me are getting out of bed and getting through the front door! And getting off Gransnet of course ...

Only as far as the paper shop. Could you borrow a dog to go with you Riverwalk?

Only nearby dog is a very snuffly pug Alima who gets taken by car for her walk.

On Saturday I took DGD to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home - should have brought one home on loan for a week!

I looked out of the window and saw some gardening that should be done but thought I'd check FB and GN first

I'm about to stand up ... it's a start.

Golf for me this afternoon - usually takes about 4 hours , 12,000 steps on average, 1000 calories- then I can eat some more chocolate and drink wine- Happy Easter Monday.

I wish I liked golf!

Have Social Services/Childline been informed?

My husband plays golf and he tells me constantly the benefits of the walking whilst appreciating nature etc., all sounds good, spoilt only by stopping all the time to wack a little white ball in the next hole

Maw

Although she would happily have stayed there I thought it best to bring her back with me!

Right, I'm all togged-up and raring to go.

I'm up but not dressed yet. I've had 2nd cup of coffee which gave me the energy to throw a few mealy worms to the birds and check out gransnet. Maybe 1 more coffee will give me the boost to get dressed and actually do something with the day. Buts it's been a really busy Easter weekend and I really feel like just crashing out today.

Didn't say I liked golf - I just do it and badly. Use it or lose it.

I was up early as I wanted to strip the bed but at the moment walking is out as I'm going for Hip surgery tomorrow!! So not much walking today just pottering around indoors, youngest granddaughter just arrived to spend time with us, requested boiled eggs for lunch I might join her.

I did a riverwalk for 1hr 50mins, approx 460 calories burned-off, so feeling rather smug! About to tuck into left-over lamb, and wine.

Anyone care to share what physical activity has been achieved today, or 'fess-up that they're still on the sofa?

Gardening today. We have moved recently and the garden is enormous but very unkempt. So we have a skip and are sorting through loads of garden rubbish left behind. Just in to make DH a cup of tea. He will have to stop soon as he has a hospital appointment tomorrow for his arthritic knee. And we don't want it too swollen

I have done some gardening (chopping back the old dead bits on penstemons, fushias etc, which should have been done six weeks ago and also weeded. Then a big black cloud appeared so I came in and prepared lunch.
Oh! I also did some very clever things with the pc and printer as we had been having problems and, fingers crossed, have sorted it now. Feeling quite pleased with myself and I hope it is not pride before it all goes wrong again.

Just for a walk around the garden, (and it's not very big). I need to go round again with a poo bag , and I went to get a photo of this to send to my DD.

I like those rocks, now those are what I call rocks!

Err ... most people use a bathroom hilda I have just come back from my mother's and she is was having a grumpy day for some reason - so I am indulging in wine gums (no chocolate for me so I don't feel guilty). Gardening - I bought a couple of half barrels; walking - round the supermarket next to the DIY shop with the half barrels and I am telling myself that I had such a busy week last week that I deserve a rest.

Why are there not 'people walkers'. A quick trip round picking each of say eight people on the way and you could walk people like dog walkers walk dogs. It would have to be a reasonable price for me but older people need (well I do) some one to motivate them

Isn't chocolate good for you though GGMK2? I thought it contained flavanols or something, well it's a good excuse as I ate some this morning because I was frustrated with the printer which wouldn't print.

I used to see the mums take turns to walk a crocodile of children to school, I would do the same and collect up some adults to walk but it's raining.

Are you walking with the half barrels or rolling them?

It's the milk Jalima. I think there is some that is a possible but I am happier not to risk it. I think plain chocolate is particularly good for you generally so if you have only had the milk variety perhaps you should be looking out for some plain too

If you did a crocodile style walk I think you could be very popular (on a dry day). If you made the walk circular you could pick up and drop off very easily.

I lifted the half barrels so even more exercise! (I might have found it difficult to straighten up if I had rolled them) Not sure it was a very good lift though and I did park the car as close as I could to where they were going
