Where did these calves come from??

I had sore-ish calves last week - and while I was rubbing them and feeling sorry for myself, I thought that they felt quite large -- perhaps larger than usual ?? I don't know - maybe my imagination.

But NOW - I can see them -- where have they come from?? Should I see a Doctor??

Of all the bits of my body to get bigger it just had to be my ruddy calves! Bah

No, I think it's normal Baz.

That was our last holiday in August -- in New Caledonia . The next one starts on Monday - cruise to New Zealand. The weather will probably be a bit more, well, "British" !! :)

:) That was a local native child.

They've got visibly bigger in a week? You're not going to go green and burst out of your shirt are you?

You'll probably like my separate post with a pic of Bazza then....

Strangely my calves are the only bit of me that's changed shaped from running. Can hardly get them into my skinny jeans any more.

That beach looks delicious. Funnily enough you can find similar unspoiled stretches of silver sand and aquamarine sea in 'Old Caledonia' (am specifically thinking of the outer Hebrides - Barra beach) it's just it's nearly always bl**dy freezing.

That's a fine pair of legs you're sporting there Bazza. For goodness sake don't kick anyone or you'd send them into orbit! ;)
