Ooh, a squirrel!

Ooh, a snowflake!

Ooh, it's bedtime!

(good luck with that, it sounds a bit complicated!)

Life on the thread!!!

I've just run 6.5 miles in the snow and mud with a head torch on along the side of the river. I ache in unusual places.

It appears I'm now 7lb heavier than Mr Hamster... Christmas has a lot to answer for.

Nice running, Ant

What can I say? I've been calorie-counting quite seriously and have now fetched off over 16lb... and I was 13st 5lb in summer 2011

ooh not sure what happened there - one way to get to 100k posts - just post lots of emptyness

Anyway

just

making

today's

effort.

For old time's sake

Nice squirrel!

I have hurt my finger; was getting some logs in, when one pulled free a little suddenly and banged my left index finger against the underside of the log bin; it was just one of those 'Ouch then forget it' injuries...

...but when I got into the house it was bleeding everywhere.

Now it's bruised, cut and swollen all the way along the finger; still not exactly life-threatening, but really severe damage for the trivial impact of the initial blow. It's odd the way 'major' things often do little damage and vice versa...

I only recently got a set of scales, I've been amazed how much my weight varies day to day and exactly how much I lose during a run.

More snow again down south, tomorrow moring could be interesting

Yesterday I managed to burn the second finger of my left hand (woodburner has completely flat grate across the front except for two small vertical prongs; I managed to dab my finger on one; not complaining as damage commensurate with nature of accident)

...but I'm a little worried about the fate of the ring finger on my left hand today; it's not looking good

I wish I'd seen this post earlier, I would have recommended closing the woodburner on the basis of health and safety and sending all the residents to another room. 

That joke doesn't quite work.  Oh well.

Today I have biked to the pool, swam, biked home again and shall be running later.  I should take up triathlon.

I lost another 2lbs this week.  I weighed 13st 5lbs once, that was quite chunky for an ickle mouse.

You is an affleet and a disappearing Mouse, innit. That's excellent and consistent work

I have 4lbs to go to get to previous small mouse size, which was 2009/10 post Bala but pre Germany.  By Germany I'd gained 14lbs back again.  So if I can keep going, it will be very positive for IMing this year.
