... a Winnie-the-Pooh reference, for those who care for these things.

I have now got four days off work in a row, and I am going away.  Anna hasn't had a proper break all this year, and I am suffering biker's guilt over my foray sewer le continong avec D2.  So last night I prepped the caravan, and today we are heading off.  Not far - just to the edge of the Brecon Beacons - but far enough away to unwind and have a bit of a self-indulgent period of drinking, eating, sleeping, playing silly games, and generally having a laugh and re-connecting.  Places such as Aberglasney and the National Botanical Gardens may well benefit from a visit, as may the local hostelries and chip shops.

In other news, my 2012 weight-loss programme (didn't tell you about that, did I?) has today achieved a major milestone.  I won't tell you what it is, but in metric terms it's like having a birthday with a '0' on the end.   I feel pretty good about this.

Back in a few days.  Play nicely.

    Oh dear, I suspect a clash with mutual exclusiveness.

    Have a great time on your days off.

  6. OK, ye of little faith ... I went away, I guzzled moderately, I put on a couple of pounds, I lost it again. Beer was drunk, and also chips were consumed, but only in modest quantities. Weight-wise, I am the same as when I went away.

    I call that a success. Had a good time too, of which more in another post.
