Everything catches up with you eventually

Last week was gym reassessment and I discovered that I have put on weight and inches - the opposite should have happened! The solution - eat less and exercise more often.
Retirement is wonderful and I am so busy but a lot of the time I seem to be involved in sedentary pursuits. Walking is recommended as very healthy exercise without having to go to the gym so last night F and I went for a walk - fifteen minutes out, then fifteen minutes retracing the route. In theory, next time we go walking we should get a little further in the same amount of time - eventually we should be able to jog the distance but that is some way in the future - a long way!
My sister and her husband walk most days - they take Umbrage for a walk -he's the imaginary dog they own. Not to be outdone, we take Advantage for a walk - she's our imaginary cat!

Hee, hee. I think the only kind of cat one could take on a walk would be imaginary. Although, come to think of it, when I was in Miami Beach I saw a women pushing a stroller. On closer inspection it was a fully-screened in cat platform, with wheels and a push handle like a pram, and a very interested cat was looking out while they took a walk.
