A couple of weeks ago, I made my promise as a District Commissioner. I thought that would be it for a while, a nice easy path of meeting up with my mentor and getting to know my new role. Well this was not to be.

Last Thursday, I got told I had an AGM to organise, ok you may think, thats easy. Well it is but it is in two weeks time. I have to get invites out to everybody (and not manage to offend anyone in the meantime).

So one job to do so far. On Sunday, task number two arrived. When I got home (very wet and cold) from my Drystone Walling Course, I had a letter of resignation waiting for me from our Ranger leader. This was due to the constant interference and undermining being carried out by the neighbouring guide leader who had hoped to become Ranger Leader (but as she has a role at County as well as being a leader in three different units it was thought that it wouldn't be appropriate). So I am having to learn to be diplomatic. Which is a challenge.

This weekend I was thinking about Muffin Tops, that is the roll of fat the women often get above there trouser waists. I was trying to work out if muffin tops are a cause of the modern diet or of modern fashion trends?

I have concluded that they are more to do with modern fashion trends that diets. Muffin Tops only became evident when trouser waist dropped to hipster level, well below our natural waist line. This lead to to opportunity for any bulging tummies to roll over the top of the trousers rather than be contained by your higher waisted trousers.

Another aspect I thought about was how trousers are worn so tight now.

I have never suffered from muffin top and I think that the combination of me wearing my trousers baggy and avoiding hipsters might be why.
