40 minutes, 2828 strides and 630.2 calories later and I’m done. That’s enough exercise for today for me thank you very much. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words how much you dislike something. I used to have that problem with the cross trainer, but now I’m actually starting to quite like the thing! They… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 41

I can’t believe that my stupid cold is starting to make a comeback!! I’ve been burning through toilet roll at an alarming rate, but despite that I still went to the gym today, and did my now customary 20 minutes on the bike (7km, thanks for asking) and 20 minutes on the cross trainer, but… [Continue Reading]

Spent all day in bed, like all day!! Went home from the radio show at about 12, had food, started bailing into my stockpile of drugs and went to bed. Got up again after 6 and spent the rest of the evening on the couch. Can’t remember the last time I had as bad a… [Continue Reading]

The plan today was to go the gym before going to my God Daughter’s Christening. But then my alarm went off at 7.30, which is very early for… [Continue Reading]
Irish Recycling

This has been giving me a good giggle and simultaneously wrecking my head for the last few months. It’s the glass recycling bin for our apartments. You’ll probably notice the “glass only” sign just above the plastic bag, which you’ll probably also notice, is not glass. Nor are the cups and things in the plastic… [Continue Reading]
Laziness Is…..

I don’t know why, but one of the things I hate doing more than anything else in the domestic (as in housework) world, is changing the bin bag. I hate it. But I think laziness must be what I am doing now, which is that when the bin bag needs to be changed, instead of… [Continue Reading]
