        I've changed my routine over the last couple of weeks so that I have to walk into work and back (takes nearly an hour each way).

        It's so lovely - like being given the gift of time.

        Does anyone else use their feet to get to work?
        Well done you! 10 years ago I lost 20kg (over 2 years) walking my daily 2 mile commute.

        I would definitely walk now if I had somewhere to go

          I never had a car all the time I lived in London, it was never worth it.

          So now at the grand old age of 37 I have just purchased my first car They are essential here, nothing is very close to anything else. This is a large adjustment that I need to make.

          In London, if at 11:40 on a Friday night I decide I need some more wine, I can just walk 5 minutes to the nearest off licence and buy some.

          Here, the nearest off licence is a 5 minute drive away, but I should not drive at all because I am not sober. Even if I was, it's not worth going anyway because the off licence shut 2 and half hours ago.

            Sometimes, if there is a meeting, or if the server is down, it all seems a bit of a waste of time.



            Thats nothing mate. Once I got a gig in Singapore, it took me two and a half years to walk there. By the time I got there, the spec for the job had changed so much that I had to renegotiate. When it came to signing, I realised I had forgotten my pen, so I had to go all the way back to fetch it.
