Despite this, I am now going to continue this post with a few completely acceptable (poor) excuses and pretend that the exercise I have done is a more than valid contribution to Juneathon.
Juneathon Day 5: a very British - wet and windy - walk along the sea front, with the family, at Lytham St Anne's... Plus a cheeky cuppa and a cake on the exceptionally windy pier whilst we watched people perambulate beneath with the sand seeping freely between their toes, despite the freezing conditions!
Juneathon Day 6: Another (unfortunate) trip to Ikea... Yes, I'm still counting Ikea as exercise! If you've ever been on a bank holiday, you'll understand!
PLUS I supervised some building of furniture!
Juneathon Day 7: Does a walk around The Lowry art gallery count? How about a trip to Argos? A walk across town? Ok... One of them must count! This post has now become interactive.. Make your pick... Now!
Juneathon Day 8: The dog came home from holiday! Yay! Actually, that makes it sound rather like she turned up on the front step with her suitcase having jumped out a taxi... It didn't quite happen like that... Obviously! I did actually go to pick her up. But, wait for it... Once we'd returned home, we went for a walk! Woop! Proper (almost) exercise! Also - mega bonus - whilst I was picking the dog up, my mother -in-law taught me to knit!
I made this (*scroll to bottom of page to see photo as blogging on stupid iphone app!*) it's either a baby's thong (yes, that is a little bit wrong!) or a dog's eye patch... Make your pick... Now!
* However, I have seemingly made myself sound like a complete twat** in my blog by using the word 'ergo'.
** I've now also used the word 'twat' (twice)... This is a new low point between me and my blog!
It's a recognised fact that the Athon excuses are just as important as the Athon exercise.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can definitely see pirate dogs being the next craze to sweep the nation!
Long live the pirate dog!... And inventive Athon excuses!! :-)
Delete...now all you've got to do is teach him/her to sat "pieces of eight"!
ReplyDeletemake that SAY!
DeleteShe's close... I've taught her to say 'woof'! :-)
DeleteLooks to me as though they are all perfectly valid forms of exercising including the knitting, it works the arms after all?
ReplyDeleteMore than you'd think! I'm going to have buff arms by the end of this knitting lark... An unexpected bonus!
DeleteHahah brilliant! Glad you are better -must've been awful 4 of you having the bug in the same house - yeach!
ReplyDeleteAvoiding tmi... It was not pretty!!! And at times, the logistics were quite impossible! That was a little bit tmi... Sorry! :)
DeleteIf you lifted up a Argos catalogue, then that's definitely valid exercise.
ReplyDeleteI did, I did, I did!!! Woop!
