Church and Castle

I've been a-wondering of late if I may be very slightly allergic to feathers, not in any big way or anything but just if my duvet and pillows cause me to find breathing a bit difficult at nights. 
So, I went to the sales this morning and bought a £100 duvet for £30 (the sort that doubles as summer and winter) and an £8 pillow. 
It may or may not make any difference but I'll have new and washable bedding.

As I walked into town I did a bit of pondering on another subject too.
When the scales (weighing rather than musical) go up and up and a weight way above what you feel comfortable with rears it's depressing head, why is it that I invariably feel 'orrible about it and yet, on the downward slide when great effort is put into grabbing that surplus fat and throwing it aside, I look at the scales (counting the 1lbs slowly down) and feel okay about the same thing that was, a wee while ago, quite unacceptable.
Wow that was a long and complicated sentence!!!!! Think I'll just leave it there as no-one will really understand what I'm talking about in any case.
