Long weekend
Feels like it, anyway. I'm sure it's been going on for several days already.
Worked late Friday night, and made it to the gym only just in time for a short session before it closed, leaving me feeling somewhat underachieved for the week on that front. (However the main driver for it - badminton - continues to go well, and a strenuous set of games on Thursday left me unfazed. Plus, I managed not to fall over or otherwise inflict damage on myself. Cool.) Having been kicked out of the gym, I went home to manufacture a pile of new LJ icons, of which I eventually approved of only two. Note to self: need more glitter! Finished the evening worried about someone, but things don't seem quite so bad today.
Went into town this morning to find it full of tourists and language students. Most distressing, not least because it will probably stay like that now for most of the summer.
The promised sunshine didn't appear; two loads of washing hang damply on the line outside. :-(
current mood: hungry
current music: The new-ish Roberto Devereux from Opera Rara again. Especially surprised/impressed by José Bros, whom I've met before only on a couple of Nightingale recordings (i.e. opposite Edita Gruberova :-)). My lasting impression from those wasn't anywhere near as good as this. Must pull them off the shelf.
