That's three days commuting on my bike to work in a row now, and because im an ever so slightly competitive person im now racing against myself every day - how daft, but i cant help it - 40 seconds off my best time this morning but i did arrive looking like some kind of sweating Medusa. And dont even get me started on Strava. The new steed has now been christened Merlot. - name chosen by my big sis - and very apt too but thats a whole nother story.
Friday always makes me feel excited, sort of a little 'tummy flutter' type thing happens, even if ive got nothing planned for the weekend, this has always been the case - am perfectly happy in my job and everything.... I suppose its just the freedom the weekend brings.
Last night on the cycle home it was warm and sunny so i made the decision to go for a swim (i know, lovely and sunny outside, lets go inside - strange woman) so a sped home, grabbed my cossie and a towel and dashed to the pool. I haven't been in our local pool for years and it hadn't change a bit, in which way i mean the whole place was in need of an overhaul, it was tired and grubby looking (a bit like me after Glastonbury, again thats a nother whole nother story) anyway, i had a job to do so in i went, 10 lengths passed ok, not fast as i only 'do' breaststroke, 10-20 were actually quite boring and 20-30 were as dull as dishwater, even the people spotting isnt all that because you can only see bobbing heads and the occasionally person making a dash for the changing areas. Not sure i want to repeat this exercise, not at Robinson anyway - are the other pools in Bedford any better? I suppose i could go to Oasis and hurl myself down the slide but its not exactly exercise per se. Dull dull dull, its up there with going to the gym, but worse.
I shall be nanny tonight and some of tomorrow, spending time with my granddaughter Millie, I don't have her overnight very often so am looking forward to it. On the menu are a spot of pond dipping, perhaps a swim and some dippy eggs and soldiers.
The rest of the weekend will be spent hopefully mainly outside but i do have a few chores to do which involve using the car grr and my first 'sports' massage at a place in town, should help my injury and loosen me up a bit.
I could go on all day but im sneaking this blog in at work as i wont have time later on.
Time for a juice (and thats a nother nother nother story for another day)
