.... random rants and rambles. no agenda. yet.

Just got back from a 2 hour walk up and down hills and across Midgley Moor, because what is the point of living next to a footpath if you don't use it? However, we weren't really supposed to be doing that after work. We were supposed to be buying a shed. But walking up very high hills and seeing views for miles [note to self: must take camera next time] is much, much better than going to B&Q, so I was quite happy to be distracted.

Me and C also got distracted from the endless unpacking yesterday by going to a local gala (!), then a local cafe and then a local pub. Somewhere in the middle of all that we got distracted again and wandered around a house clearance/antiques shop, where we found this book, and had to buy it because it was only £2 and looked hilarious:

... and this is what it says on the back...

We can't decide if it's real or not. On one hand, it seems to be a very serious book from 1962, explaining how women must do their duty to keep their husbands in good health by making them exercise and not letting them smoke or eat too many pies. On the other hand, however, is that really possible?!

Either way, I like distractions.
