Will be good to see my parents for a few days and I am looking forward to presenting to a local Lodge tomorrow evening. It is Mrs. F's birthday on Wednesday and A decided to do a surprise birthday dinner but Mrs. F. doesn't like surprises so we had to tell her.
I'll be driving back on Wednesday and will look forward to yet another meal. Having had our Christmas lunch today (with second helpings) I am feeling somewhat stuffed. Another couple of days of Mums and Lodge and Restaurant eating and I'll be like Mr. Creosote.
Some old friends turned up today for the Lunch and it was great to see them. Somehow they can get to my dos and I cannot get to theirs but in January I am hopeful that we can finally go to one of theirs. It was also nice to hear that they think Ii look well. In fact a number of people said that today and it was again quite surprising that I hadn't worked out myself at the time how "ill" I'd looked. It was mainly worry I think. I look back at some of the photos of the time and I'd agree that I look drawn and tense perhaps. The only bad thing about looking good is that I've really put on weight this year and so after Christmas (all calories in gifts are of course counted as zero) I am going to set out a new diet and exercise regime to loose a fair bit of weight. Perhaps 2 stone if not a bit more if I can. I would need 3 stone off to get to my fighting weight when I was as fit as a butchers dog but I doubt that is achievable these days.
It is interesting that no one actually told me that I looked ill though - or I don't think they did. I'm just glad that I am beginning to get back to some resemblance of normal. Also glad that I am beginning to look good again. Gee I must have looked bad.
