This is not really very much of an update…
rested from any exercise yesterday… instead exhausted ourselves listening to Spotify and laughing at Glozell (check this…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t31ZIrmJpoc&list=RDt31ZIrmJpoc ) .. with some friends.
Today was an unexpected walk in the park. I usually go to St. W’s infants school to help the year 2s read… but instead they had a nature lesson today and we went to dig up worms and woodlice in the park… lovely day for it! They got very excited when they saw 4 golden Canada Geese goslings in the lake with their parents.
Came home… and decided that I must fix the bread bin. I have a totally unproven theory about ceramic containers (as opposed to wooden or plastic or metal ones). Until recently, we kept our bread in the fridge… so it was always cold when we went to eat it. So I bought a ceramic bread bin. Our ceramic butter dish keeps our butter from going off for weeks – we never put it in the fridge… so my theory is that ceramic is best for keeping things fresh… the ancients stored everything in terracotta didn’t they? My guess is that clay minimises temperature fluctuation inside the container. However, in spite of careful selection, our bread bin was letting the bread go mouldy … and on close inspection I could see that the lid was quite ill-fitting. So I’ve lined the edge of the bread bin opening with draft-excluder (see pic). Let’s see if that helps.
My body is just wonderful!!!! I don’t think I’ve put on weight since my achilles injury… how can that be? I cannot go to the gym! Apparently our brains use up 20% of our energy/calorie intake… so I reckon that the sheer concentration needed to get up the stairs safely by crutch has kept my weight in check. I really am a lucky bugger…

Ain't we got it made?
