New trainers on show

Thanks to Bezzie and Baldie, I feel as though I am betraying couch potatoes everywhere by having bought a new pair of trainers; my second pair in only 15 years. I even put them on today, fully intending to jog off into the distance, but then I decided that I would break them in around the house first. Besides, my running buddy (Chandler) is off on his ‘jolly’ (Leaders of the Future do Binge-Drinking) this week and I want him to take most of the credit for getting me back on the road.
I have tried Baldie’s recipe for parsnip and apple soup with a hint of ginger – delicious. Try it - we could be part of Jamie Oliver’s ‘Pass it on' experiment; though you have to swear randomly as you make it, to stay in touch with your working class roots.
Talking of working, I have decided to create a job for myself as head of a non-existent umbrella organization to implement a code of practice and quality standards in the teaching/nannying agency sector. What money for old rope! If they’re not losing important information and identity documents, they’re bombarding you with inappropriate vacancies.
Bezzie will be pleased that I’m on target to complete her strict goal of preparing 10 speculative job applications this week. Looking for work is becoming a full-time occupation in itself. My buttocks have gone numb on the couch today as I sit and type out all these letters – might have to go jogging after all!
