Friday Five
*Booked a ceilidh band for the wedding today.
*Have given up on new Torchwood, really can't be arsed with it as I simply don't care about the plot or the characters any more. Am enjoying The Killing though so my Thursday evening TV viewing is sorted anyway.
*Am reading Nicolo Rising by Dorothy Dunnett at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it. I see why some of my favourite authors cite her as major inspiration and am wondering why the current craze for historical novels hasn't led to them being reprinted. I can only guess that it is because she doesn't spoon-feed her audience; the plot is majorly twisty and I'm more than half way through with very little clue what is going on (oh, and I guess it isn't Tudor England, renaissance Europe just isn't as fashionable). ankaret, have you read any of her stuff? I think you would really enjoy it.
*Oh, Doctor Who is back next Saturday!
*Not done as well on the exercise front this week because I missed t'ai on Wednesday (particularly bad because there is no class next week) and have only managed my 3000+ aerobic steps twice so far this week, although there is still this evening and the weekend to improve this and I am planning to go swimming tomorrow.
Monday - walked to the union & back, on previous experience ~45 mins/5600 aerobic steps (does help if I remember to wear the pedometer!)
Tuesday - co-op & back, no aerobic steps, 2300 steps total
Wednesday - didn't leave flat :(
Thursday - 31 mins/3800 aerobic steps
Friday - didn't leave flat :(
Saturday - 5700 steps of each 39 mins/4758 steps counted as aerobic
Sunday - swam 1.25 km/50 lengths
