Decided to celebrate my weight loss by taking the dog for a walk to the local regional park. The daughter brought her dog along so off we went. I made the really clever decision that we should exercise my legs by going on the longest route up a hill and with no shade of seating on the way… and we forgot to bring any water! Great idea!!
As you might have guessed, it did *not* go well. I’d hardly got to the top of the slope when my legs started to give out. I managed to stagger around most of the rest of the way but as soon as I found a seat I pretty much collapsed and the daughter had to go for the car and come back to collect me 🙂
Regardless, and always a glutton for punishment. I decided we needed to go shopping, so off we went. By the time we’d got around Woolworths and got to the till, I was falling over again so went off to find a bench while she put the goods through and paid each separate bills. I put my debit card through the washer a couple of weeks ago when I forgot to take it out of my trousers. It didn’t like it and hasn’t worked properly since! But she managed by inserting it instead of ‘tapping’ 😀
One interesting point is that when we got to the till, the checkout guy looked at me and shouted “Santa Clause!!! Why? Because at Christmas I dress as Santa and wander around the shopping centre. He recognised me so I said back “You have a good memory. I hope you’ve not been a naughty lad this year?” We both laughed. 😀
