After my knee stress injury cleared up I returned to my beloved Zombies, Run! 5k fitness app and I'm happily running myself ragged again ( Read more... )

Just as sure as summer will follow spring, I'm pretty sure I will always return to Sherlock Holmes stories. Even if I forget how much I love them years at a time. Usually my infatuation with specific fiction abates after a while, either because I've run out of material or because I've gluttoned myself and had too much at one time -- but Holmes?

I haven't said anything because I don't want to jinx it, but I've recently taken up running. I haven't exercised in any way after I moved away from my beloved yoga studio in Bergen two years ago, and even though I've been gaining weight non-stop since then it's been hard to find any motivation. And running? All through school I absolutely hated it ( Read more... )

I'm trying to get back into the habit of taking daily strolls, you know; my constitutionals. I haven't done those regularly since I moved from Bergen. The most important thing though, apart from good shoes, is good audio dramas.

My mp3 player is stuffed full of old episodes of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue ( Read more... )

Why is Mister Hudson the butler my favourite in Upstairs downstairs? Miiight have something to do ( Read more... )

My flist is busy discussing the season finale of Doctor Who, and I haven't even seen Matt Smith as the Doctor yet. I'll get on it sooner or later, just waiting for the mood to come over me. It's traditional that I'm at least two seasons behind everybody else anyway ( Read more... )

Okay, so the broadband up and died on me in Bergen a few days ago and since then I've been traveling cross-country to the RIGHT side of Norway. I'm currently typing this on my sister tiny-cs's laptop. So that's my excuse - and why I might appear slightly more sporadically in the near feature ( Read more... )
