High point of the day.

An early start because of an appointment in Bristol.

We went to Cossham Hospital. It is an impressive Victorian building with some new additions.

We had never been there before and didn't know that it is the highest part of Bristol. It wasn't a totally clear day but the view was still very impressive.

The area is well worth a visit even if you don't have a hospital appointment. We found that the local people there to be very friendly too.

New Years' Resolutions

 What resolutions, if any have you made this year? Did you keep all those that you made last year?

For me I try not to over estimate what resolutions to make, that way I am less inclined to fail or give up altogether.

10,000 steps a day? Nope. Instead rather than walking the shortest distance, I walk a different route which includes an incline. It doesn't take much longer but it does make the heart work harder. 

Going to the gym? Nope. But kettlebell exercises are easy to keep doing especially if they are in a place in the home where you constantly walk past.

Gardening is great exercise and am I a rarity in that I enjoy cleaning - though I am not obsessive about it.

Give up chocolate? Nope. Why on earth would anyone give up chocolate?
