argh... my knees have been really stiff for the last few days... may need to ease off on the plodding.

Got some new trousers yesterday-- and a new belt, because the smaller one I got just afer Whitby is now too big :) so I have trousers with a gratuitous number of pockets again.

EDIT: this also means I fit into some trousers I bought a few years ago without trying on ("surely I'll fit into a 38-inch waist") and was too big for, but I kept them as a goal to head for. Well, finally!
