After almost 4 years (just over a month to go) on the Ship, something I wrote finally made it onto the SoF Quotes File thread. Am rather chuffed, though aware that blogging about it reveals the depths of my saddo credentials to the internet (who all read this blog, obviously).
In other news, I'm detoxing again and am back to the gym. Over the last week or so I've been really aware of painful joints, lack of flexibility and suppleness and only being able to squeeze into rather too many of my clothes by lying down and gurning. Time to lose that Romanian lard (I put back on all the weight I lost earlier in the year while I was there. Gah). I'm enjoying the gym though, which is good, and am probably going to go to their Body Conditioning class when the new gym programme starts with the new term. Apparently that's a mixture of standard toning exercises, yoga and Tai Chi and a couple of students I was talking to yesterday raved about it. They warned me off Chi-ball yoga which I was going to sign up for - apparently the instructor isn't that great, and it's all really basic. Really basic sounds good to me, to be honest, but the other class sounds more geared to what I want - to improve my posture, flexibility and suppleness. And I'll carry on with the gym and the healthy eating to try and lose the lard.
The weekend is going to be a bit manic - quick flying visit to sarf London again to go to a 40th birthday party in Catford (I go to all the best places don't you know). I remember going to a 30th birthday party not long after I first moved to London, and thinking how *old* that was. Sigh.
