As if the Weather was of Interest and other Fairy Tales

                                                                                        

Indulge me. I'm having a sleepless night, thus the update.

1) I got it wrong on the workout thing. First off, I can't start lifting weights until I take the 'lifting weights and you' class at the Gym. Which is fine. But secondly, one is not expected to do one's entire workout in one day. Who knew? Evidently (so say the Gym guys) one breaks it up into bits to do over the course of the week. An example might be something like, cardio on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with weights on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Stretch every day and walk every day. That would keep the workout to an hour or so, which is much more doable with my schedule.

2) I long for some satay. It's not really a *want* it's a need. I think I want to try this one as I seem to have mislaid the last one I did that I really liked. With satay, the longer the list of ingredients, generally, the better. I may adjust this one to suit my taste as I get on with it.

You may need to cut this url and paste it to make it work. For some reason it doesn't want to make a proper link and at five am, I don't want to deal.

3) And finally, all the snow melted then it snowed again. All I can hope for is that there will be enough to ski on, come the weekend. Fingers crossed. I admit, though, I miss riding my bike so much it literally hurts. Spring soon, snow notwithstanding. 

And, for balance, here is a very recent photo of my beloved son, caught handily and painfully in the highly hormonal clutches of adolescence. Maybe it's just me, but I think he's a charming young man.
