Weekend

This weekend has been rubbish!

I haven't relaxed like I thought and have spent most of it all bored on my own. However, I did run my 5 miles today! I am amazed and in rather fine fettle, although I did get a stitch really early for some reason. The weathr is nasty here too, really windy. And windy, dark days up north are always really menacing and brooding - all wuthering heights atmosphere. I did discover the reservoir that has eluded DB and I since we moved here two years ago, which was all pretty with ducks and family picnickers (? The crazy British) and such-like, and then ran into the countryside and it is just gorgeous! It felt like I was right in the moors not just two miles away from home! Then I ran (hobbled, clutching my side) into town and right into the middle of this brass band a-playing outside a little church, and there were people sat down - listening! How quaint! I turned off my Mp3 in respect for their lovely music...

I have got a jacket potato in the oven but when I took it out of the microwave from its pre-cook, I noticed it was a bit green which has put me right off.

Oooh! Gymnastics on the olympics. I likes it. Little nimble creatures. Except the UK's Beth Tweddle bless her (talented) heart.

I have a confession to make which is nasty and leaves me feeling grubby. But I really REALLY really want a Wii. I played on it for the first time properly in cornwall and had a grand time! I love it! There are some really cool games. My favourite was super mario kart which I kept beating poor DB at while not even trying; and this star wars game. I really want one to play now. I bought DB the PS2 a few years ago and we have played it probably about three times. We are not great gamers (being Very Old) and also work constantly. Or, more accurately, both working at home we may be susceptible to re-focusing our priorities towards the games console and away from the boring work... !!

The Wii looks ace though. I want one!

Better go and see how my dins is doing.

Oops I think Beth just got knocked out of something because she is commenting on how she did well just to get there. I'd say so. And she has some braces on, I am glad to see.

Eek it's Monday tomorrow. I am enjoying not being so stressed about my work this weekend. I think tomorrow will be a-ok.

G'bah!
