Once again, I find myself nodding. <br /><br />I loathe shopping, and I hate when people tell me I'm supposed to love shopping because I'm a woman and don't believe me when I say I don't. It's exhausting and dispiriting and yes, the muzak is soul-destroying. <br /><br />There's only one thing I disagree a tad about, and that's the gym equipment. I don't go to the gym, but we have bought a couple of bits of kit, and yes, they do get used. I am much more able to walk further on completely flat 'ground' (aka 'treadmill belt') than outdoors where the choice is traffic fumes or mud and rocks and rabbit holes. However, the dogs do get me out to do that part too - and I don't know what I'd do without them! Probably as little as possible!<br /><br />Plumbing?

I'm happiest when I can change around what sort of exercise I'm doing to keep myself interested.<br /><br />And I'd say not just the royals, which are of course entirely irrelevant to me as an American, but any celebrity.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-65632284822394803962013-04-14T16:00:32.033+01:002013-04-14T16:00:32.033+01:00Liz: It's strange how we can get fascinated by...Liz: It's strange how we can get fascinated by the most unlikely things.
