The Double Dip




As I write this, I’m on the final stages of the journey back to Merthyr. Didn’t sleep last night till 4am, and was up at 6.30 this morning for a day of conferencing. Yippee Skippy. I was out at a hotel, and the damnable temptation of the Hotel Buffet made its presence felt. Had cereal, and then for some reason, scrambled egg, beans, sausage and toast. Then popped to Starbucks for a de-caff third breakfast. Lunch was a self-judged and small scoopful of lasagne, and dinner was a chicken and mushroom pasty of unerring miserableness and scalding heat that simply dared you to get through it.
Home tonight just before midnight. Then away from home again tomorrow afternoon – d and I are taking a few days away together. Another hotel, but this time with a huge swathe of countryside in which to go mercilessly yomping, to burn calories and make us deserve our dinner.  Of course, as we don’t come back till Saturday, it proves the benefit of re-establishing the weigh-in on a Tuesday. Feel big and bloated at the moment, but let’s see what happens when I get back on the bike tomorrow, or after a couple of days let loose in the countryside.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have important snoring to do.
