I Ain't Dead!

(The above is a quote from Terry Pratchett’s Granny Weatherwax, to those who don’t know.)
In my case, it’s not my demise that’s caused my absence for the last few days. It’s a completely unexpected obsession with the Olympics. I feel a bit like Muttley – never enough medals! Oh, well – I can’t win any myself, so I might as well enjoy everyone else’s success.
I’m enjoying the warm weather, too, and the company of my daughter. We’re going out walking quite a lot, although I certainly don’t rival her 10,000 steps a day. I can manage it occasionally (in fact I think I did today) but not as a regular performance!
We’re also getting all packed up for our holiday. We’re off to Cyprus in September, and I keep thinking of more essentials I have to buy. It was reading sunglasses today but, as Rik and I have different definitions of “essential”, I probably shan’t get them.
Anyway, this is just to let you all know that I’m still around. I’m just being lazy and not writing as much as I should!
Here’s hoping that I get round to starting a new discussion tomorrow. Do you find that warmer weather makes you feel lazy?

Nanny Ogg is my real role model, but Granny Weatherwax had some good lines, too! Yes, I'm probably going to follow that advice. The real trick is probably going to be to convince my son, who always packs for a trek march, a) to take a case rather than a rucksack and b) to resist the temptation to pack the kitchen sink!

It's the cold and rainy weather that makes me lazy at times.
