I think I've found an activity I like almost as much as knitting... having fun on my newly acquired wii fit. After a trek to the other side of Yorkshire yesterday morning to pick up what I think may have been the last copy of the game in existence (and so escorting lsb back to the car in the guise of being his bodyguard as I'm sure he was convinced he'd be mugged for the game in the car park) I spent endless hours yesterday stood on a board, wiggling around in a rather strange manner pretending I had a hula-hoop round my middle, doing a variety of yoga poses and doing my best not to turn the air blue while straining my muscles doing some very odd things. Ah the fun! I'm sure all this exercise is very beneficial to my level of fitness and my figure, but I can't help feeling that there's a gap in the market for an activity that combines knitting with strenuous physical exercise. After all we've had extreme ironing, why not a spot of extreme knitting? Aside from the slightly scary pointy needles I'm sure it'd be a great idea. Anyway I'm going to go and think about installing a treadmill in the spare bedroom and seeing how good my multi-tasking skills are.

Good heavens, you're a girl and my daughter to boot! Of course you can multi-task, it's in the blood.
