My computer is conspiring to keep me from actually posting anything. It kept crashing and there were some updates that made it worse and it kept installing them after I told it not to. I think I've fixed the problem but now I'm slightly scared to do any of the things that seemed to be triggering the crashes (which includes iPlayer, hence no Day of the Moon post yet) cos if it turns out I haven't fixed it, I might cry. Right now I'm just happy that it's working.
Walk training still going well. Did my twelve miles on Saturday in good time and I've already done my two walks for this week (six miles each). I've got past the stage where I had to force myself to go out and now I'm really enjoying it
I made sure to pass by the polling station on my way. I actually get a bit of a kick out of voting, a little "yay, made my voice heard!" sort of thing. And it really made me feel good to put my cross next to Yes on the AV ballot. I was going to vote for it anyway but the No campaign's "AV's just far too complicated for you to understand, stick to FPTP and don't worry your pretty little heads" attitude sealed the deal. And while we're on the subject, the ballot paper for electing regional MSPs was the longest thing I have ever seen! I had to fold it up about three times just to get it to fit in the box!
Guess that's it for now. Time to brave iPlayer and see what happens...
