Gym and Tonic!

I was in the changing room at the gym this morning where 2 Korean women were chatting (in English obviously, my Korean isn't up to much) and one was telling the other how she hadn't been to the gym for 2 months. Her friend looked her up and down and said "You can tell. You're looking very flabby!" I thought flippin' heck, thank goodness for good old British reserve. And then I thought, I'm going away for 6 weeks and I don't want any dark mutterings behind the treadmill on my return. So Rule No. 1 for our 'Big Trip' is that I must work out seriously at least 3 times a week. And Rule No. 2 is no getting into 'holiday mode' and drinking at lunchtime. Flab would be the least of our problems if we did that for 6 weeks. (Rule No.2 obviously does not apply if we're flying: alcohol on an aeroplane is ALWAYS medicinal!)
