In my job I am
regularly called upon to make statements such as “gardening burns 272 calories
an hour” – which sounds great, unless you’re a snip and sniff type of gardener
like me.
I suggested “we”
did a bit of gardening today, and while Steve may well have burned a good 500
calories or more, through hard graft (oh goody, he can double the bananas he
eats on Monday!), I just pulled out a few weeds (so weakly that I failed to
extract their roots) and enjoyed the uplifting scent of our wisteria. Calories burned: 0/10. Pleasure derived 10/10.
