Rabbit Thought of the Day

My Sunday wasn’t as busy as fist envisaged, mainly because I got the majority of cleaning the cleaning done before I went on my bike, which was a nice surprise for Rosemary when she got out of bed; it was a case of five minutes with the hover ad the place was as clean as a new pin. It then only took 30 minutes between us to do the ironing and then it was time to relax. Rosemary is now sat on the sofa watching ‘American Gangster’ on DVD and I will be joining as soon as finish tapping on this keyboard.

This last month has been a very interesting time, I’ve changed jobs, definitely for the better and I’m really enjoying the work. My diet continues to go well, despite one week when I had one little set back. My exercise is going even better, my fitness has improved dramatically since I started in July, which as improved my asthma as well, and over all I’m feeling great. I just have problem to solve, when I worked in my old I had a set routine, as yet I still have to settle down and get myself into a new routine, as yet I managed to get they, but it is coming together slowly.

Packed and ready to go well very nearly anyway, just the washing and shaving to go and I’m ready for the off. My flight is late afternoon; from Stansted to Edinburgh then a 3 hour drive to Aberdeen but I’m nor driving. Not the best of starts to the trip away but once there it shouldn’t be too bad. We are due back on Wednesday afternoon, I am quite looking forward to it, but I don’t think Rosemary is all that happy, it not often we spend too much time apart. I am used to going away from home to work, some times for months at a stretch but his is new to her.

Since I am going away to Scotland tomorrow and I will miss my normal weigh day, I decided that today should I weigh myself, after I showered and dressed, (I normally weigh myself when fully dressed, a throw back to when I see the nurse) I jumped on the scales, 14st 8lbs, a loss of 2 pounds over the week (well since Tuesday).

From the NHS calculator my BMI is 29.1, which is on the very high side but not technically obese. Considering that when I started I was 17st 13lbs and my BMI at time was 35.7 which was off the scale on the NHS graph.

If you go off the NHS website I need to have a BMI of about 24 and therefore my weight needs to be approximately 12st to 12 7lbs, which was my target from the beginning, to I still have some hard work to do, to be precise over 2 stone to go.

Am back indoors after my usual Sunday morning bike ride, and another good time as been posted by yours truly. Even though the wind was stronger than yesterday I have posted a faster time a sure sign that I am improving every time, I doubt that I will break any world records or be in contention for any gold medals, it is important to me that I do well and improve.

It has also been a good morning in others areas as well, before I ventured out I managed to whiz and clean the flat and all that is left to do is vacuum the carpets, I did have the time to do that as well before I went, but I didn’t think that the ladies of house would appreciate me hovering at that time of morning, so I have left that until later. See girls some of us men are quite thoughtful.

It’s still early November so why are we subjected to supermarkets advertising Christmas food already, and at one of our Essex shopping centres yesterday Santa’s grotto opened. While I love Christmas as much as the next person, I am sure the majority of people are with me on this one it’s still far too early to be putting decorations up and definitely too early for Santa. So come supermarkets get a grip on reality and save from Christmas overload before the holiday begins lets have another month (at least) before you subject us to Christmas.  

Scientists have developed a mathematical formula for the perfect shower, reports the Press Association.

A team led by neuropsychologist Dr David Lewis developed the formula for Cheltenham-based manufacturers Mira Showers.

According to Mindlab International, the balance of privacy, pressure, time and temperature in the shower all need to be carefully moderated to create the perfect shower experience.

A taxi driver in Portsmouth picked up a bumper payday after a man jumped in his cab and asked him to drive to Germany.

54-year-old cabbie Mick Hogan was waiting at a rank in Portsmouth when a customer got in and asked to be driven 740 miles to the Munich Beer Festival, reports the Daily Telegraph. He had missed his flight for a friend’s stag weekend.

Mr Hogan told the customer it would cost £1,700 for the impromptu trip and a further £250 for the channel crossing and one night in a Munich hotel.

With the fare agreed, Hogan went home to pick up a change of clothes before setting off to Germany via France, Belgium and Luxembourg. He eventually arrived in Munich 17 hours after he set off.

It’s Remembrance Day, I hope you have all bought a poppy!

I am up early one again and as usual I am the only one awake in flat, well beside the cat who wants feeding, I’ll sort her out in a minute when I have finished on here. Just looking out of the window it still seems quite windy, but at least it’s stopped raining. We had some very heavy rain last night, seems the weather forecasters right for change.

I think is has forecast rain again this morning, as long as it stays away while I do my bike ride I don’t mind. I think I have kind of a busy day ahead, the flat needs cleaning, I have ironing to do and I have to pack for my trip to Scotland tomorrow, we fly up tomorrow afternoon and fly back Wednesday evening. It should be a good trip
