Yeah, believe it or not I am still alive. Not a lot has been happening though so this is another of those summary posts. Sorry.

Well, Sunday I went spinning in the end. Lovely evening. Couldn't find my sock poi though, and the tube poi I was using gave my fingers blisters 8-(. On the very plus side, I think I can manage an oscillating three-beat weave non-turning turn. We also discussed what we would do to replace Play. Looks like I'm going to Shell Island. Wahhay - it's something!

Monday was nothing unusual but I include it here for completeness.

I've turned over a bit of a new leaf recently. Due to our shower being out of action, I've been going swimming in the morning (they have showers there you see). This morning the shower was actually working, but I still dragged my sorry arse to the baths and swam 700 metres. I'm looking to keep this up - twice a week, building up to doing a kilometre a time. It also means I don't get my morning baguette instead relying on a couple of apples.

All this could be seen as a good thing. Fit Alex can find boyfriend, becomes happy Alex.

Alex: Wakey wakey body, time to get up

Alex's Body: Wha?

Alex: Time to get up. You know, start moving, shuck the duvet all that...

Alex's Body: Nah it isn't.

Alex: 'Fraid so.

Alex's Body: you do know this isn't April Fools Day - the clocks only went forward one HOUR on Saturday, not a whole day...

Alex: Y-huh.

Alex's Body: Then why do you think it's time to get up?

Alex: Work.

Alex's body: Bugger!

OK, I booked off some time from work. something I am remarkably bad at actually doing. Due to work being shut for a period over Easter, I am looking at being workless from the evening of Wednesday 19th March to the morning of Monday 31st March. That's a nice long period of nothing at all planned.

If anyone wants to visit or would like me to visit them or has any other suggestions, let me know. It's that or see if I can complete a B5 marathon in the time (which I think Wendy'll veto).

Edit: My friend Bex is coming up for a few days at the end of the week. Yay!

So, seeing as I did so well at taking holiday last year that I had to carry a full complement of holiday and still lost some, my manager has ordered me to take at least half a week, probably a full week off before the end of February. A whole week... What am I going to do with a whole week? I need suggestions peoples. And offers. Quickly. So I can book the right time off. Ideally after 15th February (pay day), so I'm thinking 18-22 February, but if someone knows of something I can do other than that, shout out!
