Katy, I also have a slight weekness for 'taking Isobel for a small walk' and ending up at the shops. I always set myself the target of walking to the river. Then I think, I"ll just get to the bridge... then I think, oh, i'll go over the bridge... before I know it, i'm in the center of town, surrounded by shops. ( or, as I convince myself, benches, and more chance of being able to get transport home )
I have got to know all the shops in Manchester, intimately, 'just taking Isobel for fresh air' as when we are there, I'm either holed up in the hotel, or wandering round the shops. I usally set out to find a coffee shop, then get sucked into the Arndale center or just into that MASSIVE Next there. still, exercise is exercise after all
MInd you, there are plenty of days I dont get over the front door step.
polly I will do, if thats ok. Just felt too rotten to get online to make any sense Things a little more settled just now with my sister, but still have a few things to pick your fabulous brain with.
