Good to be a "Central" Westie?

For all my hearts desire to live closer to the city instead halfway to hicksville, I must say that on a foggy morning, where i live truely takes my breath away.
Opening the curtains this morning I drew breath at the soft blanket of fog that enveloped the street. It just makes the world around a little more peaceful, like walking through the earths light morning doze.
My niece calls fog sleeping clouds. Bless.

ho hum

So sorry to those buggers who actually read my bletherings that I have been completely slack in updating my blog, but unfortunately I live (at the moment) a very dreary existence.
We have the occasional friend over for tea and less occasionally go out for a bite.. but as for adventure? nah... my life revolves around saving nonexistent money for a trip later in the year and keeping my garden leaf free (quite futile when you have a bloody great Oak tree in the front yard).
I think I need a jog. That I am starting to do regularly. Yes yes, Brigit doesnt run, but my crappy knees are actually holding up (well except for a little scary knee twinge last week, but its come right), yay!
I used to hate going out with dad who was a member of the Auckland Harriers and often ran for hours on end for a laugh... and I was on my bike! Poor old dad ended up having to push me 3/4 of the way coz my short little legs couldnt manage the distance (and it was fun being pushed).
Now tho, I am starting to realize the enjoyment he got out of the self motivation in it all. Its just you and the pavement, with only your will pushing you on. Very challenging for a piker like me. Another thing on the list Im trying to tick off... motivating my self confidence.
Unfortunately its getting quite dark at the time I get home... and cold, so this could make progress a little slower than planned, but I will keep you posted.
