My last entry in April was for my 50th Birthday. Nothing significant has changed since then, I'm still "consulting"; Carey moved into a new flat with Steve but we knew that was coming; Will and Jessie are still at home, sort of; Winter has arrived and gee it's cold =) ...
Not long after my birthday I joined the local Gym and started driving down there three or four times a week, and then I started to notice a lot of portly people about my age pull up in their cars out the front, run in and exercise for 20 minutes and leave again - I thought to myself "WHY BOTHER?" if that's all you do - drive to the gym and have half a workout. Well, I realised the hypocrisy of that idea... sure I was there for an hour or sometimes two, but I drove the 4km to the gym too... So I bought myself a mountain bike. Now I'm doing a couple of hours or more every second day on it and feel so different it's like I'm 20 years younger. The big tummy I was developing is gone in a month, and I'm saving on fuel to boot!
