Unfit Ember onesie walker

So January has only a couple of hours to go, it's not a month I'll look back and say "wow, what a month!" about. I had intended doing the Looney Dook on 1 Jan but it was too soon after my hospital visit, I'll do it next year, no excuses.

Been working today, only got in at 8.30, and I'm working tomorrow too,  I work one Saturday in every four, but who knows how things might change at work, would ideally like a mid-week day off now and then so I can do things and maybe even get to the gym again, my work-life balance isn't right at the moment.

I did have yesterday off and walked along to Kirkcaldy but my one real day of exercise was a couple of weeks ago when I took Kath's dog Ember over the Binn, through Burntisland, and on to Aberdour and the dog-friendly Cedar Inn. Felt stiffness in my legs for about a week afterward, so just goes to show how unfit I've become. Things will have to change!

Just had my birthday, an unremarkable day as I was working until 8pm, though I did have a nice Tomatin and Ardbeg in the Auld Hoose, wearing a onesie, when I finished. It's a bit of a cliche but years just whizz by. Plan a bit of hill walking in a week or two, will tell you later. Also planned a couple of wee holidays to Lake District and to europe, it's nice having something to look forward to in these dreich dark days.

Here are photos of me in a onesie on my birthday (looking even fatter than what I am), with Ember above Burntisland, and a badly taken photo with BePo,who kindly bought me a few nice German beers for my birthday, cheers!
