Knee Knockin

About 10 months ago, I started noticing that when I lay in bed on my side, my knees "knock", bone against bone.  When I was well over 16 stone, my knees could not touch, with fat, fleshy thighs keeping them apart.  Now that I am much closer to 14 stone, and riding the stationary bike & hiking all over the valley both this winter and last, the unexpected secondary result is bone upon bone knee contact.  I guess I'll know if I start to get more rotund again if the knee-to-knee contact goes away.

The feline foot warmer can be seen at the very top of the photo.  We Might have to turn on our furnace this evening, if the house dips much below 65F.  So far, it's been steady and stable at 72F, throughout the month of December.
