Thanks, everyone!
LaMa – I’m enjoying thinking through exactly what my other (ie non-weight) goals might be – I think for me goals have to be pretty well defined, so I can tell if I’m reaching them or not.
Yep, being just overweight will be worth celebrating, Rob – though there's still a little bit of a way to go for that one!
Cate - I hope the prosecco won’t have too much longer to wait – and in the meantime I made up a jug of sangria.
Love the balloons, Petal! And looking forward to hearing how the class went – and what your plans are for the coming month/s.
And also look forward to hearing about your mini-goals, Emily!

About “Timothy Winters” – one thing I liked was the sense of the poet’s silent urgent cheering him on, wanting so much for things to be better for him – and all the time TW himself hardly even saw how hard a life he had, which is often the way – people who are really up against it are often heartbreakingly quick to feel for those they think have it tougher than they do. I also liked the sharpness of the way it says “they say there aren’t boys like him any more”.
