I am back at work this week and have been told that my time at DTF will come to an end at the start of Feb- I am sad because I will miss my crew of cheeky smart boys, but I am glad because I have put on 5kg in 5 months and have run up a sleep deficit that cannot be fixed by a bailout from the EU.
I will still be chasing promotion but will be in uniform unless I can convince my boss that I simply cannot leave. BIL has had ENOUGH of DTF and the phone ringing in the night so he will be very happy in February.
So obviously the plans for the year are pretty much the same as the Weekly Resolutions up there on the right. Nothing has changed, potty mouth is back, though the fizzy drinks have been dispatched without a worry. The vegie garden is OUT OF CONTROL and I now have 18kg of zucchini to eat thanks to BIL not harvesting any while I was away- I just hurt my back FILLING A WASHING BASKET WITH THE ZUCCHINI to get them on the scales to weigh them all. Bathroom scales of course.
The good news is that for Christmas I requested a zucchini slicer which makes zucchini into spaghetti so for dinner I just had chicken pesto pasta – with no pasta at all- but if certainly fooled me into LOVING it!
If anyone needs replacement table legs please give me a call. Or wants to make organic body armour (those big ones are tough).

And those are dainty size 10 feet there!
Now that the endorphin buzz is fading, here is my lasting reminder of last week: glove tan:

So plans for this year:
Hawkesbury Classic
Marysville to Melbourne (still assembling a team)
Surviving the family holiday to Fiji in June with Mum still talking to me
(I can’t think of a 4th BIG EVENT- but if you can then please let me know (not a bit corporate fun run- I am not interested anymore).

I had some zucchini that big once, they went into the compost bin.
How about one of the Trails+ runs, there are a few options, Macedon in June or You Yangs – https://sites.google.com/site/trailsplus/home
Looking forward to Marysville, what a blast!

Do you need a runner for Marysville?

The zucchini instead of pasta sounds interesting. Might I suggest a “foodie blog” style post next time including some details on the slicer?
