Sore arms?

There was a little part of me - okay, a big part - that was hoping my arms would be too sore to go to exercise class this morning.

I was fine. Sigh. My latest article for Gower Community Magazine is about exercise and bodies, and my love hate relationship. I'll share it when it's been published in November. Did I share my last one? Probably, but here it is again. Page 28. I've designed a little logo for the next one as the editor doesn't seem to be putting in titles, so I'll be easier to find!

There is some sort of machinery outside making a lot of noise but I can't see what it is for the trees. I am tempted to go out and have a look. 

Okay, it's a tractor and machine cutting down bushes on the other side of the island in front of our house.

You remember that email I wrote on Saturday morning? In it I used the phrase 'biting at the bit'. Late Saturday evening it struck me: it's 'champing at the bit' not biting. That's irritating me now. I might have to send another email correcting it! No reply from the main recipient yet though one of the ccs replied agreeing with what I said.

Don't bother correcting "biting at the bit." It would trivialize the point of your first email.

It's funny in an irritating sort of way how often familiar words/sayings elude us.

Shouldn't it be 57?

Considering how poorly people read, I'd say don't bother with a correction!

Good thinking. Especially as I've now had another slightly bullying email.

Liz Hinds said...

True and then you wonder where they come from.

Liz Hinds said...

The original is that's why mine is 58.

Liz Hinds said...

I won't.

I like your logo!

Liz Hinds said...

Thank you!

I wouldn't bother with correcting your email. The main recipient most likely wouldn't respond to that either.
