Yup. ChickPea is getting fit(ter) – tho isn’t yet at the stage where she feels the benefit…….’hitting the wall’ seems to be the phraseology……
(How are you getting on, Mr Lay Clerk ? How is it for you ? You seem kinda silent just now…….)
Dear, much neglected Reader - you’ll maybe remember ChickPea’s joy at gaining 15 hours part time working, just 3 hours a day, Mondays to Fridays……..which started on Monday 5th January. She is kinda tall (5 foot 12 in her bare feet when last measured a while back), and junior school tables and chairs ….. and, er…. ‘things’……are kinda low to clean, clean around, hoover under, and generally maintain in a satisfactory state of cleanliness. Fine blue carpet in abundance – shows every last bit of detritus ! And Jollyface Hoover has a mind of his own as to Everywhichwaytogo…….. Three hours of frantic scrambling to accomplish the required tasks and Achieve A State Of Order And Cleanliness…….. (Who needs a gym ?)
Not to beat about the bush, ChickPea has been feeling a trifle ‘exercised’ when she gets home……. (This has been an excellent excuse to submerge herself in a hot bath...... lit candles.... incense stick............open window for a refreshing breeze.........and a charged glass within easy reach………. Ahhhhhhhhhh…………… Bliss). Past two days the glass was not utilized…….. but TODAY – aha ! (Maybe this is what’s got her onto the keyboard again….).
Unlike Lay Clerk, she’s not lost 30 pounds…....(meaning lbs......)…..though she remains hopeful...........

Most fortuitously TH is an Accomplished Man In The Kitchen (a previous present of a day at Nick Nairn’s Cook School proved inspirational). Current itinerary is allowing him The Opportunity To Remember. And he is. Brilliantly. And Most Supportively.

TH should go to Nick Nairn Cook School again (memo to self - vouchers received for Christmas and Birthday need to be redeemed and yet another course booked).
Chickpea, I've only been silent lately because, as you know, there are other, more important, things going on at the moment than Blogging which are taking my attention!
Gym is going fine, and I've ordered a pair of prescription swimming goggles off t'InterWeb so I shall start swimming as soon as those arrive.
Good to meet you Chickpea. I have a husband who is excellent in the kitchen - so mcuh so that he's more or less banned me - which is fine by me!!
Men in the kitchen...... Mmmmmmmm, I do so agree with you Flowerpot - tho I'm not sure Nick Nairn Extravagances are essential, Pencfn......
And me oh my, Lay Clerk - I cannot quite believe you're at the gym ALL day - so are YOU in the kitchen too, swimming trunks n goggles adding a new slant.....(maybe you'll be scuba diving in the washingup bowl, eh ?!)
