An inch and a Half

Wow! Bought a skirt in Queenstown last night as it's warming up here and I have a very limited warm weather wardrobe. Skirts are just for that occasional hot weather period that occurs at home. Here, it's a necessity for comfort. I was twirling around in front of the mirror in the new skirt and could see changes, no matter what way I looked. Pounced on the tape measure in the kitchen drawer to discover that the changes stemmed from an inch and a half extra round my waist! Bleedin' eck! That's all those pancakes, scones and one run up Mt Iron. I've perfected the making of them, but not how to resist them. It's a pity you don't burn calories typing on a keyboard. And I haven't really started on all the coffee and cakes that I was planning. 6 weeks in, I may have to redress the balance a little. A wee bit more running, a tad more cycling, and THEN the coffee and cakes............or maybe a bigger sized skirt.
