THE BULGING WAISTLINE

 Hard to believe we are one week already into January but believe it I do.

Especially when my clothes are tight after the Christmas and New Year feasting. Add a few birthdays in around that time and its not looking good. On the plus side, I've been keeping up with exercise but honestly, it doesn't do much for keeping trim. Fit and healthy, yes, but it doesn't atone  for eating too much.

However my late father used to say "Health is Wealth" and he wasn't all that healthy, so he knew what he was talking about and I take that on board. We take health for granted until we haven't got it. Even a run-of-the-mill, bog-standard headache is annoying but it could be so much worse, so thank goodness that right now, I am pretty healthy and grateful for that.

So while I pound the footpaths, I might be wearing elasticated track pants for a while to come (probably FOREVER!) but it is doing my body good and that's the main thing.

(No significance in the photo except its Christmasy and pretty!!)

When I wrote the first one I had the idea of making sure that Alexi had brothers, in case I wanted it to be a series rather than just a standalone, and here they all are. Alexi, Angelo and Alberto. The Gabardi Brothers. In fact, I wrote the first one during a lockdown when I had already booked in annual leave from work and we were told, we still had to take it. Even though we couldn't go anywhere. Bloody brilliant, I thought. A week to do nothing except see if I can finish the first draft of this book that I wrote the first and only chapter for ages ago. This was truly amazing, thought I, and I would NEVER get this opportunity ever again. I couldn't go anywhere, see anyone, do anything.  And so for that week I wrote the book and finished it. So what is it about? When Alberto Gabardi decid...
