Waist Management

So it turns out at the weather gets hotter I start craving sugar, chocolate bars and ice cold milk shakes.  What makes this a particularly bad recipe is that as it gets hotter, I feel more and more slothful, only able to muster enough energy to sigh about how hot it's getting.  Ok, well that's a slight exaggeration.  But not for long; soon the buildup will be in full swing (it has been dubbed by meteorologists to have already started) and sweat will roll, heads will loll, and moans will escape parched lips.

So, apart from vague hopes of being able to sweat it all out, my cravings seem to be leading to an impractical layer of insulation around the middle.  Oh well....  at least laps at the pool are more appealing (though the sweltering bike ride to and from may be something to be endured)...  Lolling in the Taj pool is much more likely.

Well,  haven't heard from any of you Melbourne mob in a while (perhaps it is because you have disowned me for gratuitous use of the word 'mob'?).   Hope all well in the down under of down under.

xx  Love from the North.  xxx

Dear Hooch,
Hear are comments from two of the down under mob. Hope that you can survive the heat and are well, as we are. Several text messages from Helen and John G. They are having a fabulous trip and no doubt will be with you soon.
We spent an enjoyable Father’s Day at Robin’s new home. As well as Robin. Geoff and Iona, Imogen and Ned were there plus Wendy and Kendal and Julie and family. Julie drove us over to Robin’s. A very pleasant and happy afternoon. Last Tuesday we had lunch at Williamstown with Wendy and Stuart to celebrate Wendy’s birthday. Another lovely day..
Monday 15th September is our 57th wedding anniversary. How time flies.
Temperature today is 25 degrees Celsius Spring is with us.
Nana and I hope you are well.

Lots of love

Nana and Pa

Dear Pa,

It's great to hear from you. 57th Wedding Anniversary! Congratulations! :) Is there are particular gemstone or mineral that goes with 57? Or do you have to wait till your diamond 60th?

Great to hear you are well. And also lovely to know you are not freezing down there and that spring has sprung.

Please say hi to Nana from me.

Lots of love,
Hooch. xxx
