I've got very lazy of late

Thanks jing but there wasn't even a pattern on the wallpaper so should have took a lot less time, it was the breathlessness that was the problem.

Maybe some stretching exercises might help with it?

If I paint the sun on my windows will that help too?

That'll do it.

Will try eating a banana......

Oh, that's because of serotonin. When you see sunshine through the window, you make more of it in your brain. The sun was shining an hour ago and I was all set to go out. It's gone in now.....

What I don't understand is that, when the weather is horrible outside it still stops me wanting to do anything inside .

Off for lunch today with friend.....will exercise later.........maybe.......

Respect for doing that decorating Rubylady. I'm blowed if I could tackle wallpaper!

There was a time I did exercises every morning. Why did I stop? Perhaps I will start again.

Interesting point re flu vaccine Ruby - there are just so many people complaining about ill health and lethargy this year.

Tegan Good girl, now you can have one of jinglebells cakes.

jing You have to do some stretches now, to get those cakes burnt up, come on, hit the deck, on your back and bend up to your toes, one and back, now relax.

I can't say anything. It took me hours tonight to get three strips of wallpaper on my son's wall with his help too! And then I promptly fell asleep on the settee. Tomorrow I will have to rest as well. Now, butterflies and flowers to do on my wall now. Well, when the next bout of energy comes my way. It's like a bus, you have to hop on it when it comes past.

I wonder if the flu injection being less effective has had any effect on people feeling more lethargic?

Thanks Kate.

Me too Tegan. I can't trust myself with marzipan!

I love marzipan ....

Er......yes!!

Oh! My mouth is watering so much! Thank you for that article - very interesting! and a recipe! (Not sure whether to thank you for that or not - sodding diet ) I seem to have put on 3 lbs in four days. That can't be right can it.

I've had those cakes in Stockholm - popular during Lent.

Sorry for thread hijack.

ja but then they pile up. And I get angst-ish. . But I will sod a lot of them.

Oh, and the city was quite good too.

Riverwalk the cinnamon buns were totally outdone by the 'cream' buns they have everywhere. A plain bun with top sliced off and then sandwiched back on with a whole load of - don't shriek in horror - vegetable fat cream. And, as a surprise, a lump of marzipan in the middle. And then all thickly sprinkled with icing sugar. Fantastic!!!

Haven't seen that Marmight-does Dr Chris not make it bearable?!

It has been exactly the right time of year to be honestly convalescing! I have done my circuits of the ground floor religiously, because I have to, and done the Physio exercises, and slept a lot. But soon (six weeks post op now) I shall have to get out there again.....

No excuse about house work as exercise either, as my cleaner has been in every week. Oh dear, reality looms....(forgotten what it's like!)

B*gg*r the jobs

jings how was Gothenburg, particularly the cinnamon buns?

Trouble is, if I go out while the sun is shining I just know I won't want to do the jobs afterwards cos I will be knackered. And if I do the jobs first the sodding sun will go in.

H E L P !!!

rubylady may I take your excellent post as being addressed to me too.
