Not so much an emergency...

...as lack of gruntle.
In fact I've been a wee bit disgruntled most of the day.
HOW COME it accepts disgruntled but NOT "gruntle"? 
As if I didn't know.
We noticed one of the pitchers had its lid on & wondered if that = a successful catch?
I don't know WHAT mischief I got up to in my sleep, but I woke up this morning and got downstairs before I noticed the "Stepometer" band was on my wrist with a hole where said stepometer ought to be.
I didn't know it could be removed easily while still on the wrist.
It was well after lunch before I had the brainwave to look in the bed ... it wasn't there, it was tidily placed on the bedside table near where my specs come to roost.
:¬O
How the great, grey-green, greasy, Limpopo I managed to remove it and put it tidily where it was I have NO idea and I didn't drink a lot before you ask.
In consequence today's total is running at 611 paces. 
Methinks a spot of Wii-ing is called for just to try and get it more respectable.
Since 21:00 5th December, last year; I've used Alice as an excuse. It is true that for almost 10 years I walked neither farther, nor faster, than Alice could manage with her dicky-ticker.
I think some of my lack of gruntle is due to how long it's taking me to improve; maybe it's old age and deformity. 
;¬)
I set an incredibly low target of 4k paces, recently upping it to 4.1k. Having achieved that for quite a while it'll now be up to 4.2 since I clocked up 5,971 yesterday; cheers Jerra/Clicky.
