Sliding

With the brim of my Andy Capp hat* wedged so low over my brow in order to prevent the gusting wind turning it into a Yorkshire Tweed frisbee, I only saw this banana skin at the last moment and had to execute a neat cross chasse around it to prevent an embarrassing fall to earth.

Although there was a huge temptation to don the baffies and retreat behind the Sunday newspapers after an early morning visit to a deserted gym , I managed to persuade HL to go for a walk and visit the 'Two Thin Laddies' again so that I could sample the three corners of yogurt and blueberry crunch.

They tasted as wonderful as yesterday, but having avoided the slippery fall on the banana skin, I will have to watch the slippery slide from my healthy eating programme.
I am consoled in a strange way by knowing that for the next two days I will go hungry.

* The name was given by HL who thought that I looked exactly like this cartoon character when I wore it. He sure knows how to give a girl confidence.
