Was off today, my flex day. I took the bus out to Pete's Frootique, a really great shop that has really fresh veg and fruit, a butcher, a fantastic cheese and deli counter, and he has a section that sells British import groceries. I wanted to have a browse through there in particular. I came out with a jar of Horlick's (malted milk drink), a tin of Dandelion and Burdock (which i've never tried), a jar of Branston Pickle, some real British Cadbury's chocolate and drinking chocolate, a small box of Tunnock's tea cakes which, to my surprise, aren't cake at all, but something similar to what we call Malomars (chocolate covered marshmallow on a cookie type base). Oh and a walnut whip which is much the same as a Tunnock's but with a walnut on top.

I met Josephine for tea but in the end we got our tea/coffee and came back to my place for a quick visit because i was supposed to go to Tracey's but forgot the stuff i meant to bring to her. She dropped me off at T's and i had a visit there and held the baby for my "fix".

Off to the gym. Good workout. I find i get a better workout when i go on a day off rather than after work. I think i feel more rushed when i go after work or even when i go back down in the evening. When i go on days off, it's far less crowded and i'm not in such a hurry to get home. I also did 10 minutes on the BodyTrek machine today though the last 3 or 4 were rough. It's a kind of machine that simulates cross country ski movement but is a half-ski, half-walk/run movement. Very good for the lower body. Easier than the evil, bad and wrong Stair "Monster" but more of a challenge than the treadmill.

I want to nip over to Wally World tomorrow and see what they have for easels before the class on Sunday so i may go to the gym again, just for cardio stuff. I'll see how things go.

Was just reminded that it's Friday the 13th. Not being superstitious about it, it completely escaped me. It's never been a bad day that i can remember, no better or worse than any other. I remember one year at work we all arranged to wear black on F13. Pretty much everyone did. Black tshirts, dresses, suits, jeans, or gray. We never said a word but you could see confused looks on people's faces when they were in the department for whatever was their business and it dawned on them that we were all wearing black.

Today, as you will have already read, was a pretty average to good day over all. Not anticipating it taking any dramatic downturns.
