Fish & Chips

Me and @frodo_shorty were talking about fish & chips just the other day. This is my celebration meal when I run a half marathon, along with a glass or two of champagne. So it was funny when I went shopping and spotted these in the ‘specials’ bin in Aldi. It brought back memories of my childhood days and what other sweets, crisps and biscuits were around back then. Who remembers Texan Bars, Wagon Wheels (when they were bigger) and Spangles? Is it any wonder I put weight on as a kid and have battled with it since!

Battling with my weight is a curse and will be till the day I die. Having just finished my 4 mile run, I went back to help an old lady.

She’d put her full shopping bags in an Asda trolley and was pushing it home. She must have been in her late 80s early 90s. I asked if I could help. But she was insistent that she could do it as she was nearly home.

Independent or just plain stubborn? The latter reminds me of a certain family member 😉

That’s it for now, but remember we all need a little help sometimes, don’t be afraid to accept it.
