Some days I feel the same. Not today, though. I want to go out for a run today, especially because of the lovely magical moment I experienced a few days ago.<br /><br />Cycling in London IS something. I love, it, love it, love it. Beautiful shots as well, as usual.

Horrible.. but I also have put on an extra 5 kgs so have decided to turn Aimee's now vacant bedroom into a spare room/gym. There's air conditioning in there, most necessary in 38C .. so the cross trainer will come indoors for the remainder of the hot weather.. good on you, cycling is a brilliant way to keep fit .. had to laugh at the bad luck good luck charm :)PerthDailyPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-21749978098563298172014-02-27T19:03:35.428+00:002014-02-27T19:03:35.428+00:00Dear Jenny,

Is it early this year? We have to wait for a while before we see any in our area. Ouch! Sorry you fell and hurt your shoulder. Hope that feels better soon and am also glad your family member is back and hope his recovery is a swift one. Being home must be a wonderful feeling. Having twins in the family must be fun. I was also fascinated to learn that snakes and ladders have been around for as long as it has and came from India. My mum would play the game with us all the time when we were kids and I too covet that board you showed! The stories you shared were fascinating, and I loved the last shot of the dog draped in the curtain. A really interesting post.

Its utterly frustrating. I'm starting to think about getting free of mine a bit more I need to have SOME kind of a rethink anyhow. <br />Wow, Lee, I am glad you obviously came to no harm with the car!<br />Jocelyn your other comment finally reached me. Wonder what is going on with Blogger!<br />Jo , I consulted the guy at the gym yesterday and he said keep moving. I think that's probably right, I did feel better after the gym session. Jeanie, I like to hear of others who hate the gym but go anyhow. Yes, yes, it is useful. In fact I am going to step it up in March, the guy might be able to come here and give T and me some exercises to do at home for 10 mins a day with whatever we have here to use as equipment. <br />Jean, I looked at the last two exhibits at Two Temple place and would have liked to go to both of them. But now I can't remember what they were. Duh! I just have too much information to keep in my head :)<br />Yes, Brian the dog did look like he was wearing a dress .. well I suppose it might have been a "she" dog :).

So much to love here -- a fabulous museum, good news on your relative, whom I hope continues to improve, grins on the twins and much more. And also have to tell you I loved your post about the rain. Sounds like such a communal experience! I was on a loaner computer and for whatever reason, couldn't choose a profile to comment with on blogs without a pop-up page so it cut down my commenting a lot! (Even though I was logged into google. I'll never get the computer!). So, I missed that, but back in the saddle and happy to be catching up.<br /><br />I know what you mean about the gym. I've been going faithfully to spinning or to walk on the eliptical. I hate it -- can think of lots more fun ways to spend my time. But it's a necessity so off i go!<br /><br />Sticky shift key!

Yes, Jane, I know so many people with injuries caused by jogging and when I was younger it did one of my knees in for years so was an excuse to give up for a long while, hehheh... Adullamite, I always enjoy your bike trips, they're the sort I like to do, just to go and see what there is to see. <br />Darla, Meike and Patricia, I didn't think of the dog being draped in lace but now I think of it that's really what caught my eye. (When I take a photo, I just snap it without thinking why.) Meike, they have a different exhibition every winter, wish I 'd seen the last two. <br />Jane and Lance, how nice to see you back, and I will check out your blog in the hopes of seeing something of Spring in Budapest!<br />Oh Bonnie, more snow, that sounds just horrible!!!! We haven't had any this year but I was just looking at pictures of last year and thinking how miserable it was right up until March.<br />Thank you Jocelyn, two of your comments got through, can't comment boxes be annoying, I just tried to leave a comment on someone's blog and the form blanked out three times.

I talked to the trainer at the gym today and he gave me some good advice. I've wanted to go to some of the livery halls for ages, Marianne. I don't believe I have ever been to one although I've been to the halls at grays inn and Lincolns Inn, don't know if those count! . There are indeed so many treasures in London. Parsnip and Susan, I really should have thought of "the doggie in the window" phrase for the headline.
