Who needs roundabouts?

'How has your day been?'
'Well swings and roundabouts...'

Why do we need roundabouts? - the swing alone conveys the variation of high and low!

And I have no intention of adding the roundabout to my swing day. Started ok, if typically slowly, I had actually slept soundly.  Nervously but with a sense of righteousness I went to by gym induction.  The instructor was good, gentle and encouraging, even when pushing me, she has given me a programme for the next few weeks and we will review it.

I left reasonably proud and feeling okay about going back.  Time for a shower and a flop on the sofa, but as evening came so did the munchies - and between them and a couple of glasses of wine (yes I know that the meds say no booze but I got away with it on the last lot no problem and the bottle was already open) well lets say my belly is not happy.

So there comes the swing low sweet chariot - poorly tummy, bad head, feeling stupid as self-inflicted, and generally useless.

This too will pass - the swing goes up as well as down, but doesn't move much in the middle of night when you can't sleep for nausea. 

Maybe there is a place for the roundabout afterall - when progress turns out to be going round in circles
