Fitter, Happier

More productive. Regular exercise at the gym, I'm lucky if I go 3 times a week, but my new resolution is to do this. I went today, good start. I was on the cycling machine, watching the seconds tick by and I thought, 'there's another one gone, am I happy that I am spending this time doing this? Isn't there something better I could be doing?' It can get a bit depressing to think like this, so I changed the display to see how many virtual km i had done, that got a bit depressing so I changed it back to seconds... To be honest, at that time it was a pretty good thing to be doing, watching myself burn off kcal (so very slowly) to repay the good times that I have had this weekend with my wife in France.
Just around Calais. I agree, probably not the place that you'd choose to go if you could go anywhere in France and there are plenty of English fatties wandering around with a crate of John Smiths tucked under the arm of their No 9 England shirt, Eastenders wine warehouse etc, but there are some nice places there too and some great food and drink. We stayed in a hotel that cost 30 Euros, a 'Premiere Classe' (the irony was not lost on me), but it is comfortable, clean and cheap. Everyone has a balcony (to enter their room as there are no internal corridors).
The sun was shining, we drove around, mostly on the right side of the road, and stopped at most of the supermarkets that were open to see if they have to same food as us over there. They don't, the food makes the supermarkets here look like a shitheap. Thanks Tesco, thanks Asda price for buying up the crap the rest of Europe doesn't want.
I may be slightly fitter than yesterday, a little bit happier, not yet in a cage, on antibiotics...
