While I am generally very pleased with the move over to wordpress.com, there are a couple of things I don’t like about this theme.

In particular this horrid serify type-face makes me super-unsettled and rather stabby.

So I’m thinking I can get around it by using the <font> tag on every post.

woo hoo! sans serif!

I also rather loathe the truncated version of posts by category and in the archives, but I can deal with that (for a while at least).

If only my ISP supported wordpress intalls, I could mess to my heart’s content, but alas!

Long-time readers may remember my ghastly struggle with a good deal of weight gain and what turned out to be a very short-lived reduction.

I’ve been ignoring the fatness for far too long, hoping it would go away on its own, but of course it has not. The clothes are getting tighter and I’m becoming increasingly displeased with myself.

So, on Saturday I decided it was time to take serious action.

I’m going to start running regularly.

Even longer-time readers will know that, back in the day, I was really quite fit and attended the gym a minimum of 4 times a week and the majority of that time was spent pounding the treadmill. Unfortunately, what with various health issues &etc, it has been at least a year since I’ve done anything remotely physical.

So I ran on Saturday (intervals, because the fitness? she is low) … and it was completely exhausting.

Today was a little more challenging – come running time, it was absolutely pouring with rain – but I sucked it up and out I went. And I was rewarded with a rainbow (and a rainbow umbrella in the foreground)!

I was also rewarded with impossibly sore thigh muscles. Walking should be quite the challenge tomorrow.

I also need to get the approving comments down, am currently hopeless at it.

Rainy photo from bus window. Obviously not taken this week because the weather has been wonderfully, sensationally gorgeous.

<edited to add> good heavens! that photo was ridiculously large – have resized. May have to rethink the email/posting images from phone!

I think I almost have this thing sorted.

Blogs imported, fave blogs added to blogroll … all that remains is to update the multitude of internal links (stupid constant self-referencing).

Unsure where the attached image will show up – but is from our recent jaunt to Melbourne with the babies – a very smokey morning on the way to the NGV.

The days of leaving the SaltMinesLimited at 4pm are long past.

One wonders if that miniscule pay increase and new title were worth the trade-off.
