The Unexpected Happens

On the bike today despite the foul weather which seems to be almost every day at the moment. I almost get the lycra dry at work before it’s time to put it all back on again and pedal home.

It rains all day so the lycra is going to very wet by the time I get home but then, the unexpected happens, it stops and the fines up. I'm almost disappointed. Particularly as L had been rushing home especially to see the spectacle, she can at times be overcome with passion at the sign of wet lycra. Fingers crossed.

Never mind, tonight is Friday anyway. Happy Friday.

Toilets For Two

My calf is tight again and this combined with a prediction of foul weather ensures I get the bus rather than cycling to work. It’s been a really bad cycling week, as in zero cycling. Then the foul weather doesn’t arrive of course.

Things are hotting up for our Winter Olympics trip - terrorist attacks, Vanessa Mae qualifying rather dubiously by competing injunior races and toilets for two.

My Mum, who already isn’t keen on me going at all, will now not let me go to the toilet on my own either. 

The idea has merit though, in the Ladies at least. So many women already go to the toilet in twos. Can’t see it catching on in the Men’s though.

L has bought a bigger handbag to carry the ton of ID we'll need to get around Russia, although I suspect she’ll still find room to slip a couple of books in there.

The Wrong Socks

L bemoans her 2.3 mile run this morning. Well it’s better than not doing a 2.3 mile run and it’s another tick on the spreadsheet. All hail the spreadsheet. I intend to do mine after work, although I think it might be a short run due to the foul weather.

In the end I run another ten miles, the second time this week, because amazingly it stays dry. Although I did the whole thing with the wrong socks on, having packed my ‘short distance’ socks rather than my ‘long distance’ ones. The blisters will be hell. Still, it’s another ten miles for the spreadsheet. Tick.

Then it’s ‘Dragon Tattoo’ night as we watch episode two of the TV series and hence complete book one. So far it's much better than both films. The rest will be interesting. Books two and three had so much cut out of them, they made little sense at all.
