My new exercise regime - (aka slightly late New Year Resolution) is to run out on to the drive every now and then, do a hundred skips, a hundred jumps on the pogo stick and a hundred more skips. It's surprisingly hard work and I can be back at my desk in five minutes!
Two downsides. (1) Passing neighbours may spot this deranged activity. I may need to invest in a disguise. (2) Any hint of bouncing or skipping activity always sends the dogs into a wild barking, howling frenzy. What possibly evolutionary pressure could have wired their brains to react like this? Did ancient dog-eating predators attack the wolf-pack on pogo-sticks? I think not.
Three good things
Drinking tea with Karen this morning
Drinking coffee with Helen at lunchtime
Drinking wine with Mac this evening - safely home from Bangalore
Excellent beverage based good things. I think any signs of derangement amongst dog owners brings out their barking instinct. If I show any signs of exercising Monty will know I've lost the plot. And right now a simple sneeze has sent him all of a dither....
