Springing Forward

The time has changed; the clocks went forward an hour last night. That’s great because it means we’re running in BST.

Yes, folks, that’s British Summer Time!

Summer. The one with the warm sunny days. With the lazy walks in hazy meadows. With the rushing waves on hot sandy beaches.

I like this time of year. We’ve had a small taste of it this past week with temperatures topping 17C and bright sunshine from dreamy blue skies.

There are still pessimists who view putting the clocks forward as losing an hour of sleep. I think of it as gaining a season of smiling faces.

We’re springing forward with the clocks; springing into tomorrow, which is the start of the rest of your life and a great time for positive change.

Oh yes, BTW, I’ve lost two stones now! Woo hoo!

Getting Thinner

I’ve lost weight. Don’t worry, it was expecting to. I’m on a diet you see. WeightWatchers. When I started it seemed to be rubbish. I didn’t think it would work.

But it did. I’ve lost 1 stone and 5 pounds in three weeks. Not bad, eh? I’m not so fat now! My clothes fit better and everything.

Watch this space as I gradually fade away.

Badong

An old friend once said to me,

“Don’t do that. It is bad. It is wrong. It is bad and wrong. It is badong.”

And he was right.

He was a wise one was old friend. An all knowing guru of all things, including the “Great Circle of Stuff”.

Oh no, sorry. That was a movie. (Kung Pow if you’re interested).

Anyhoo. Today is badong. Monday. Work. Again.

Badong.

I’m Back

And I am. Hello!

I’ve not written for a while, and for that I am truly sorry. May I flagellate myself soundly and strikest out mine eyes with ye red hotte poker.

Sorry, I went all Spanish Inquisition for a while there. But now I’m back.

I mean, again. Back again.

Sitting here, talking with you, my friend. So tell me, what have you been up to these past six months? Did you have a nice Christmas? Lots of turkey? How was New Year?

I made resolutions; maybe next time I’ll post them for the world (well, you) to read. But for now, I’ll just say that there’s a lot and many won’t be easy. There’s some more that have crept in since New Year too. And I will definitely blog about them in the very near future.

For example, there are two new ones that leap to mind. One is to lose weight and get fit. I’m already all over that one. I’ve lost over a stone so far. [Pauses for effect and waits for applause].

The other is to bring back my old self. My real self. At times, I get melancholy and lose self esteem. A very good friend of mine helped me to see that. My goal is never to allow that to happen again in future.

I awoke one morning with a headful of realisations and I wrote it all down. One day, I might post what I wrote, but for now, it’s private.

But I’m not going to let myself down again.

I’m back.
