The Psychiatric Wing

i think you're safe for a while debbo

Just to buck the trend I seem to have put weight on recently.  I shall have to dust off the 'no filthy beer' regime I think.

Managed a nice run in the fresh snow yesterday but the pavements round me are horribly icy this morning- no trains to work due to a broken down one blocking the station so had to take car to work which also broke down.  I will be eying the computer and the phone suspiciously this afternoon to see which of them will be the third one to go.

I ran too .. it was lovely along the canal and I saw an eeeeeeeeeeenormous Heron who was most put out at having to keep moving on as I lumbered along !
I also swam and I was awesome and I also spent an hour looking for my core in teh gym
I unburied the car this morning and it started first time, not used it since Friday .. bet it wont start at 5am tomorrow

Ferret, use the washing machine or something, you can do without one of them longer than a phone or a laptop!!

i need my washing machine more than i need a phone or laptop

I have swam...it was hard work.... sauna, yoga .. turbo... run and now squash..............ready for bed

I am watching the celerity Bake Off which is delaying my bedtime and then there is a programme about baby jaguars which will delay it even further .... I may need caffeine in the morning

tonight has two programmes I want to see but they ae both on record

Ebenings.

I have done nothing today, for today is a rest day. 

I have also had a lovely offer from a very nice man to take me to swim coaching in the morning in his Land Rover so I don't have to worry about ice or if it snows tonight.  I was not looking forward to having to get up earlier than 5am to walk.  He is getting up 30 mins earlier than he normally would.  What an angel.

I am relying on iPlayer this week as I am using my evenings to work.  In meeting one important deadline I had to put some other work to one side and now I need to meet that subsequent deadline.  For background noise tonight I have Gone With the Wind.  I put it on at 7pm so not sure if I will get through all of it or not before bed.

I probably should unravel my hair before bedtime as well .. it might freeze and snap upstairs

You need a bonnet like in the old days.

Thick fog here this morning but the roads are nice and dry so no ice ... well on the main roads anyway!

Oooh its a rest day for me today .. I shall be in my pyjamas within an hour of leaving here  

It was snowing heavily when I left for swimming at 5.30 this morning but it has stopped now and there is a slushy mess underfoot.

I have been swimming, spin later. 

Meldy - are you sure it was fog, or did you have your bonnet on back to front?

Morning all,

pavements like skating rinks down by here but roads look fine and nothing falling out of the sky.  Don't know whether I'll have a car tonight so swimming looking iffy.

Broke my third thing, but as it was only an Excel macro that's hardly the end of the world. 

Sleep well Meldy.

Mousey I may well have had the car bonnet up?  

Thank you Ferret but I dont get to leave here until 4pm  !!

sons exam done and dusted and i survived driving on the snow.......safely home...debating training

looking better here, ice gradually melting on the pavements.

didn't go for a run last night as i felt a bit sleepy, will remedy that tonight.

I think I have another run scheduled tomorrow .. scaled back somewhat this week with an increase at the end

The whinjury I have is quite puzzling, I am managing to increase the time/distance without too much trouble, I am doing my heel drops and stretching and what have you ... yet if I walk for any extended time it 'gives me gip' - Not that I am complaining, i'll do less walking and more running but its a bit weird and I dont know what the problem is
