Sore
I completed my nidan (2nd degree black belt) grading on Sunday, ouch. Everything hurts (sneezing especially as my abs are sore) and I have a 3" gash on my forehead from sparring.
It was a tough test, 9:45am - 5pm (although some of that was spent standing around as certain parts were assessed individually). Now I have to get my head back into PRINCE2 mode and pass my Practitioner examination. I had a go at the multiple choice "B follows A" reasoning test and didn't do very well :(
Oh and in response to martiniandrossi, I'm not some coffee crazed millionaire, I picked up my coffee machine at a complete steal. They're £700 new but a guy in Bradford who's brother owned a cafe was selling one for £100!
It was a complete mess inside as the previous owner hadn't emptied all the hoppers out before moving it. It took an hour or so just to clean the obvious areas but the burr grinder was completely impacted. After spending 2 more hours trying to clean it using bamboo skewers and coffee beans, I resorted to running 3 sets of boiling water through it which managed to do the trick!
